FBI and Digital Surveillance
Question One Carnivore, the FBI’s Internet monitoring system definitely presents an ethical dilemma. ... By the use of Carnivore the FBI is really not accountable to any outside scrutiny. ... I feel that if the FBI and their monitoring systems are left unchecked private citizens will be subjected to another McCarthy era kind of witch-hunt. Question Three Ethical – The FBI has a legitimate need to collect certain kinds of information on criminals and those suspected of criminal activity. ... Social – The knowledge that the FBI maybe spying on individuals could be really unnerving and may cause people to change their social life styles.
