One day after the New York Times published a front page lead story on abuses of privacy on the web by the N.S.A., 1466 readers have weighed in on this breaking story.
Commenting on the Snowdon documents supplied to the Times by Britain's Guardian newspaper, Jill Abramson executive editor of the Times said that "our default position is to inform the public."
What is your position on the balance between national security versus personal privacy?
What role does the Fourth Amendment (provides protection against unreasonable searches and seizures) play in the mix of arguments?
Are you outaraged by the N.S.A's methods to access information, or do you think this modus operandi is to be expected in a culture that relies so heavily on internet communication?
(After all wasn't the internet created by the US Government exclusively for its own top secret military communications? )
Read the stories and comments (as I have done) and decide for yourself.
