The National Security Agency (NSA) has been tracking U.S. citizens since 2005 ("EFF NSA Spying | Electronic Frontier Foundation").

takes place in 1984 by George Orwell is a realistic warning about life today, which can be supported by current technology, potential technology, and the real-life “Brotherhood” movements in the world today. Although not prevalent knowledge, the electronics portrayed in 1984 are already being used to violate civil rights in 2011.

The Communications Decency Act, also know by Internet users as the CDA, is an Act that aims to remove indecent or dangerous text, lewd images, and other things deemed inappropriate from public
In George Orwell’s 1984 novel, the world is depicted as a dystopian society where the government’s power of surveillance, propaganda, and control over citizens is insanely high. The novel dives into themes such as government oppression, manipulation of thoughts and oppression of freedom. In 1984, the government used a combination of tactics to control their citizens, even to the point of wanting to control their exact thoughts. In the 21st century, many similarities can be found between Orwell’s

Threat to Internet Privacy Abstract At what level is Internet surveillance by the United States government acceptable to society, considering a balance between security and privacy, what are the short and long term implications, and how does it affect the rest of the world.

Exploratory Narrative: Over the last few years there have been many controversies over the invasion of privacy of individuals online. Many are not aware of how easily the government can obtain access to their personal information through their devices when they use the internet or simply use phones, as well as what type of protection is offered to them.
