1. i do not think that the government should have any say in what we do in our personal lives as long as we're doing legal things and not harming anyone. we should be entitled to privacy. i shouldn't be waking up every morning to somebody watching me brush my teeth, that's just gross and nosy. however, if i'm walking around with a knife, that's different.

I don't think the government should have to right to look at your history if they don't have motive. If they were to look at everyone's history for fun then I think there would be a lot of angry people. Also if they were able to check everyone's search history who would check theirs? How do we know if they aren't the ones search history we should be checking

1. I don't think that they have a right because that is like searching though someones personal belonging without a warrant and even then to get a warrant you have to have probable cause. Now, in todays society, I don't think that they should be able to do that.

I don't think that our government has the complete right to monitor our activities. I think that humans and people that belong to our society are allowed to have their privacy. I feel that the majority of people don't use cellphones and computers for illegal activities, and therefore we should be allowed to do what we want without feeling as if the government is watching us or listening to us or snooping into our lives. I do agree that the government shoudl know some things about us because they're meant to protect our well being, but I don't think it's necessary to track us down through technology and regular activities.

I do not think that the government should be able to monitor your activities. We have the right to our own privacy. Maybe if someone is known for doing bad stuff online then the government could monitor them but they shouldn't do that to innocent people. My friend lives in China and sometimes when she is on her computer random tabs with start to pop up or to shut down. This is because the Chinese government is allowed to go on peoples internet whenever they want and I believe that that is not right. I feel like the government should trust that we won't do anything bad.

- I don't think the government should have the right to search your phone history (or any history) unless you are applying:
1. jury duty
2. A part of a case
3. applying for a job of high    importance
I think that if you are just living your everyday life, the government does not have the right to just go through your personal things. Even if they think they have found something, it easily could have been misinterpreted.

I do not believe the US government has a right to monitor cell phones unless something illegal has been reported about the said person, a group that person is in, or a relative of that person. The Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution states that all houses and belongings are legally protected from unreasonable searches. This means is the government want to search something, they need a warrant. The same should apply to cell phones and internet use.

I don't think the government today has the right to monitor my activities, no matter if I have done something illegal or not. An example is my phone. My phone is my personal space. They are invading my privacy by looking on my phone. I think if they were to monitor you phone, laptop, etc., the public would feel a sense of no trust in the society, feeling like you are always being watched. Unless they were to find you doing something illegal through a website or other source, there should be another way they can monitor you online

1. Do you think that your government today has a right to monitor your activities (for instance cell phone use) even if you have not done anything illegal? Why? Why not?

I don't think our government should be able to monitor our activities if we haven't done anything illegal. I think this because we have the right to our own privacy, and I think activities such as being on your phone is a private right that should be respected and left alone unless there is a problem where someone has to monitor your phone

I believe the government does not have the right to monitor our personal lives as long as we are doing legal things. The only things that should be monitored already have laws against them, and our personal lives should not concern the government. While I don't personally care if I'm being tracked, I think it is wrong if I am. Because we have laws of freedom of speech, we should also have freedom of internet use as long as it is legal. This topic touched on our right of free speech, because saying or searching things on the internet can be similar to saying them aloud in a private setting.

I do not think that the government has the right to monitor your activities, both on and offline, when you have done nothing illegal. It is a total violation of privacy, and without good reason, such as past criminal activity or valid evidence pointing to some sort of infraction of the law, it is completely inappropriate. When you store information on your phone, you trust it to be kept confidential, and snooping on personal files obliterates this notion completely.

I don't believe that the government should have the right to monitor our every action because we have a right to privacy. We have a right to feel comfortable knowing that there won't be somebody watching us through our electronics or surrounding objects. If the government has evidence that we have done something illegal and they have a warrant, then yes I believe that they can search through things but without a warrant they should not be able to invade our homes and sanctuaries without our permission. If they were to invade our privacy then we would have the same right to invade the government's privacy as well. For example we would be able to see what the President has been googling recently or what goes on in the meetings.

I do not think that the government should have the right to monitor your activities if you haven't done anything illegal. We should have the right to have privacy, unless it is highly suspected that we are doing illegal activities. The government does not need to know all the details of our personal lives, and it seems unreasonable for them to look at all of your activities as long as what you're doing is, in fact, legal and not against the law.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not think the government has the right to monitor the activities of one that has done nothing illegal. When someone has done something illegal maybe this is necessary. For instance when someone gets out of jail but they still where the band on their ankle so the police can track them. That seems reasonable because they could still be a threat. For a regular person having their activities be monitored seems rash and uncalled for. The government could see stuff that is completely legal, but personal. Just like the police has to get a search warrant for looking into a suspect's house, they should for their device as well.

I do not believe that the government has the right to do so. There are circumstances where someone may be accused of something or suspected or something illegal, and that is a different story. We live in a free country, and people want and need their privacy. If someone is being a good person, and has done nothing bad, then they should have earned the right not to have their search history monitored 24/7. Not to mention if they are being good its a complete waste of time for someone who is monitoring them.

Do you think that your government today has a right to monitor your activities (for instance cell phone use) even if you have not done anything illegal? Why? Why not?

No, we live in a free country but within those boundaries peoples privacy needs to be respected. It disrespects our privacy and is contradicting of our rights. The governments job is to generally oversee the people, and not anyalize and monitor our every choice. An individual search history is not the only reflection of their character and their actions, therefore, the government should not have access to that.

1. Do you think that your government today has a right to monitor your activities (for instance cell phone use) even if you have not done anything illegal? Why? Why not?

I do not think they have the right to look at our personal cell phone use or search history if we have not done anything illegal. I understand the need to look into our activities if someone allegedly did something illegal, but if there is no indication that the person being searched is a criminal I do not think it is right or the government should be able to look at someones activities on the internet. I also think that just like if police want to search a house they need a warrant they should need to get a warrant from a judge before looking through someones internet activities unless its an emergency.

I do not think that the government has the right to monitor my personal items. We should have the freedom to be able to keep our things to our self without anyone being nosy and going through them. The government should trust us to not do anything illegal unless something is suspected. If something is suspected and there is clear evidence of something illegal happening, I think that the government should be able to monitor that. I also think that if a person has had a history of doing illegal things, they should be monitored for a certain period of time after they are let out from jail or anything like that.
