I understand what you're saying about being "babysat" I really like the way you put that. I think we need to make sure we protect ourselves. We should take responsibilities for ourself not the government. We are supposed to be a free country and I feel like the government is trying to take our freedom away. First they make us have healthcare, now they want to make sure our internet is the way they want it. If they get away with that, what are they planning to do next?

I think that we should be protected by making better spyware and firewall protection. Instead of having the Government go into your personal information to claim that "their protecting you".

You should be able the trust them. Unfortunately, sometimes the world works differently than it should. Some people use your information to benefit themselves. That is just a reason why you should be careful about who you give your information to. I think you should decide who gets your information instead of the government deciding for you.

Yes, very well put. I agree.Which makes another point, what will happen to sites online that you can give out information. This reminds me of an adult dating website. Would they be blocked then?

Still I get what your saying but, what What about your personal information do you really want some stranger from the government to view it? Protecting information is easy to do considering we can use spyware, antivirus and Firewalls. Maybe what the government should be focusing on is creating even more advanced spyware.

No I don’t think the government should be involved in what we do online. I personally think the government needs to stop butting their way into our lives. I can deal with my own problems. I do think there are creepers out there but that’s why WE SHOULD’NT BE STUPID online. We should make smart decisions. That’s why we use extra long passwords! We can deal with it ourselves. It’s like when your mom looks at you text messages, you tell your friend what guy you like, You don’t want your mom to know! So if you don’t want your mom to know why would you want some random stranger from the government to know your personal information! That’s crazy! I think that children predators are bad and that’s why we shouldn’t be stupid and give out personal info. So I do understand personal information is important to keep safe. I just think we should have the responsibility of doing it ourselves.
