The potential acquisition of Americans' internet data by the NSA sparks heated debate. Proponents argue that it enhances national security by identifying potential threats and preventing terrorist activities. Access to vast datasets may allow for more effective intelligence gathering, aiding in the early detection of emerging threats. However, privacy advocates express concerns about civil liberties and the erosion of individual privacy rights. The indiscriminate collection of personal data raises the risk of government overreach and unwarranted surveillance, infringing on citizens' right to privacy. Balancing security and privacy remains a complex challenge, demanding transparent policies and robust oversight to mitigate potential abuses. #dataanalytics #nsa #privacymatters #privacylaw

< EU Citizens! - It’s Your Problem > We have long been in contact with ‘The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA)’ but they disappeared into silence since 24/Nov/2022 with a remark that ENISA does not have an obligation to respond to Non-EU citizens. They have not since returned to us despite our repeated requests. We can do nothing about it  since I am not an EU citizen and my company is registered in UK, now outside EU. We sent the following message to ENISA on 3/Dec/2023 - *This is our latest writing on identity security - “Why We Cannot find 3FA Deployed in 3-Layer Formation?” (3Dec2023)  https://lnkd.in/g9nkgi3Q   Should you continue to stay silent after reading it, we would conclude that taking care of vested interests is a top priority at ENISA, having no interest in taking care of cybersecurity for citizens.* Another month has since passed. With ENISA having no obligation to respond to us, we have no choice but to leave the matter to EU citizens  - It’s the problem of EU citizens in the beginning. For information, more of our discussions on digital identity are collected at “Collection of Digital Identity Comments Hitoshi Kokumai Posted since January 2022” https://lnkd.in/g2wSAhcp Would it be possible for you, as an EU citizen,  to tolerate the current situation that an EU organisation is standing against the safety and welfare of EU citizens? #identity #authentication #password #cybersecurity #cryptography #biometrics #AI #government #defense #democracy #privacy #ethics #infrastructure #ENISA #MFA
