Surveillance

We have talked a lot about surveillance on internet. Indeed, it is very controvertable debate just like every coin has two sides.

First, I want to talk about the surveillance on work. Business secrets are potentially valuable to rival companies. To steel documents, industrial spies use the tools and methods of a secret agent, and to protect the same documents, business will use some devices to help monitor employees, for the espionage threat that may come from inside the company.

As more business is done over the internet, people realize the importance of secretly accessing a person's emails and computer files for sales and products information. People could use a software called Robotic spy software, which can be emailed to a target's computer as a photo, music file or a greeting card. Once inside, the software infects the computer and sends secret copies of the user's emails an files to the spy over the internet.The more common method is using video cameras to spy on employees.

Just like surveillance on work. Government may use surveillance on internet to catch criminals activities. But during the surveillance, it will destroy private and liberty. And it may lead to the government abuse of surveillance right. I think it is necessary to monitor, but not for everyone. Just like doing a research, we need to pick up some samples.
