Three ethical theories
Rule Utilitarianism
When citizens' privacy is not important, citizens' pleasure and freedom are indirectly deprived. According to rule utilitarianism, rule 4 (Do not deprive of freedom) and rule 5 (Do not deprive of pleasure) of the Gerth rule is broken.
Kantianism
When citizens' information is collected, privacy is lost. It is not clear whether the information is collected with good will or some other purpose. When there is no privacy for citizens, the security of citizens cannot be guaranteed. Citizens' privacy is important.
Act Utilitarianism
When the information of U.S. citizens is collected, people's privacy is greatly threatened. People's happiness will also be greatly reduced. I think the privacy of citizens is more important.
Why is privacy important
My classmates take their privacy very seriously. They prefer they protect their own privacy to having their information collected and analyzed for security by others. It is easier than ever for some companies and websites to illegally collect, collate, analyze and disseminate personal information on the Internet. They have our's data and can surveillance, but we can't guess whether their deeper purpose is good or bad. I think the most important thing we need to do to protect our privacy is to raise our personal awareness.
The knowledge gained from the study of collected information outweighs the importance of the privacy of U.S. citizens. Security is more important than privacy.
