Civil Rights Challenge

The post-9/11 environment has introduced a significant debate about balancing the need for security, versus the protection of civil liberties. In the age of social media and big data, it is relatively easy for public and private organizations to obtain individual profiles from social media and from other electronic databases that are online. Additionally, the need to ensure security has given rise to a culture of security. This has sparked concerns on governmental encroachment on an individual’s right to privacy. The USA FREEDOM Act, which replaced the PATRIOT Act, gives the United States broad powers to encroach on the civil liberties of Americans.

Address the following:

Discuss the phrase, “You can never gain 100% security, but you can lose 100% of your liberty.”
What is the likelihood of the creation of a dystopian society, in the name of security, through acquiescence by the public?
Discuss some of the civil rights challenges that are posed by social media, online databases, and the use of big data tech companies versus the need to ensure individual privacy.
