Abstract:
|
The events of 9/11 have induced a worldwide paradigm shift. This shift has affected many aspects of life both here in North America and abroad. The United States drafted the Patriot Act, which provisioned for far-reaching security measures. Some of these measures challenge the constitutional rights of every American citizen. Yet there is clearly a need for enhanced security measures both domestically and internationally. Whereas it is unclear whether or not the Patriot Act and the potentially forthcoming Patriot II Act will improve security for citizens both in the US and abroad, it is clear that these acts will affect the lives of common citizens worldwide. Since 99% of the Internet is bound neither by geo-political borders nor by geographic distances, the Patriot Act will have a unique affect on Internet usage worldwide. One of the broad-sweeping measures of the Patriot Act allows the United States to monitor all Internet traffic and voice traffic in search of terrorist data. This paper will explore how the need to protect a nation's citizens with enhanced security measures is balanced against the rights of those citizens to privacy and free speech. The paper will focus on the EU and United States and the measures they are taking to 'protect' their citizens. I will close the paper with a discussion about the issues that governments will face over the next 5 years in balancing security, privacy and free-speech on the Internet. |
