Hello, my name is Margo and today I would like to tell you something about privacy
versus safety.
PowerPoint
I chose this topic, first because I saw this interesting statement when I was filling out
an electoral guide for the Dutch elections. So this statement really got me thinking.
And also because this topic is related to the subject of law studies which I am
following the first and this third semester.
PowerPoint
First a little introduction of the topic. The central statement says that the resident’s
privacy may be restricted to increase the national safety. So this means, for example
that the government may use cameras and collect and save personal data to
provide more safety. But this also affects the privacy of the residents. This is a difficult
statement that has caused much discussion. There are proponents as well as
opponents. So I would like to discuss the most important pros and cons. And of
course I will conclude with my opinion.
PowerPoint
I will start with the pros, the proponents say that:
An important argument is that if you don't do anything wrong, you have nothing to
hide. So for example if you are filmed by camera, there is nothing for the
government to see on it. So it really doesn’t matter.
Secondly, the society in general is more important than the individual interest. Take
the corona crisis as an example. Here too there are opponents, but the measures
serve to protect the great majority.
Research has also shown that the costs are also lower in the long term. Because if
you invest in things like camera’s, security programs for personal date, etcetera, that
would be less expensive in the long term than the damage that a possible incident
could cause. Like a terrorist attack where there are many injured people and there is
a lot of physical damage.
Not to mention that people feel that they are watched in public places, which
means they think better before doing something stupid with leads to fewer crimes.
Finally, personal data is everywhere these days. Keep in mind that you leave
personal information behind by only accepting cookies on a website. Why should a
government not be allowed to use this data, but online shops that handle your data
a lot less carefully should?
