When Eric Snowden dropped the bombshell that the US government have been watching their own citizens with NSA surveillance program an uproar in privacy came into play. The promoter for privacy says this infringes on our liberty. The detractor says this reduces national security. Who is right and who is wrong? What is more important? Liberty or National Security? If we lack national security can we uphold liberty? Can we sacrifice some liberty for more national security? Some have even come to argue that privacy hinders innovation because the less private we are the more transparency and the more communication and the more ideas and trades, and etc... Thoughts on this? Is privacy old-fashion that needs to be diminished? Or is privacy imperative to a free society? Others???
