The FBI has recently proposed an idea to have social networks automatically send "scraps" of users data to them. This is opposed by Christopher Maag, who believes, with many others that it is a violation of user's privacy. The goal of this is to look for "possible emerging threats to national security". After further investigation, it was also found that the department of homeland security is already doing something similar to this. Then, the electronic privacy information center filed a lawsuit. This is backed by many members of congress and the U.S public. This is extremely prevalent in today's society because as technology advances, simple freedoms such as the freedom of speech are being regulated and reduced.
