necessarily the case. There does not have to be necessarily a trade-off between privacy and security; the proper balance is the one where neither security nor privacy suffers from both of them being present in our daily lives. The main reason we still share the opinion with Franklin is mostly because the majority of the governments, either by having too little or too much power, fail to provide citizens with both privacy and security. They either provide only one or, in some extreme cases, none of

a person’s right to keep his or her thoughts private. When this privacy of mind conflicts with another’s privacy of action or speech, however, a compromise must be found. A person’s knowledge about another individual is one such case. The person with knowledge may not want to share he has it, while the other individual wants to know who has information about her.

Of course, the desire for privacy can conflict with important values, so privacy may not always win out in the balance.
