Am I being watched?

Internet Surveillance is quite the issue. But here is what I think.

The good side...
1. Tries to keep terrorist at bay by checking out sites like 'how to make bombs' and 'We hate ****** ****. We want to kill him!
2. Tries to keep hackers from hacking into confidential files etc.
3. National security.

The bad side...
1. Intrusion of privacy for the sake of national security. Does the government really want to know you spend on $300 bucks on your visa for some condoms and a sex toy?
2. Giving authorities the absolute supremacy to do whatever they want.
3. Identifying terrorist at the risk of the non-terrorist internet users such as me and hopefully you too.

So, there. However, I am leaning more towards the bad side of surveillance...

You're right! nobody wants to know if somebody bought a sex toy online. Anyway, there's always a catch right?!
