Privacy and Politics
The author of the piece presents points of discussions as far as privacy is concerned. The essay depicts privacy as a freedom that any person should be allowed to have. The writer talks about how modern communication technologies have affected the freedom of privacy. The effects are evident through acts such as stalking over the internet. The author’s argument is kind of interesting as it presents the politics side of the issue. Undeniably everyone has the right to privacy, but the government should be the watchdog over the exercise of the right. The technologies that challenge the freedom of privacy are, however, also important in enhancing modern freedoms of expression. This is a key point to note from the writer.
