Local law enforcement has initiated mass surveillance on streets, towns and shopping centers with the use of flock cameras. This is a huge violation of privacy of U.S. citizens.

They have also installed automatic license
plate readers into the surveillance system. In NYC, police have automatic license
plate reader on their cars.
The government is keeping our private
information without our knowledge.
Not only are they watching us through
flock cameras on the streets, but they are also surveilling us through our
phones by going through the phone companies.
Through our phones, they see what we search, who we talk to, and who we are through our social media.
Especially our social media. Apps such as Instagram, TikTok, and especially Facebook create a digital dossier on their users by data mining their electronics.
According to NIH, Cambridge University in the UK was able to collect data on 87 million Facebook users without their consent.

Even then, they don’t stop there. On our computers, the most popular web browser Google Chrome is one of the worst browsers in terms of privacy.
Even in “Incognito Mode” your data is still
being tracked and saved in their data centers.
To me and many others, this is a huge
privacy violation that we don’t feel comfortable with. With so many ways to
gather personal data, random people have my medical history, friends, family,
and so much more.
I shouldn’t have to delete browser
history, delete recent cookies, and use a VPN all just to have some privacy in the
safety of my own home. Even outside of my home, I am being watched.
Privacy is becoming a privilege to those who can afford it in the U.S.
