Privacy and Security

As we all know, privacy is within our constitutional rights no matter what the circumstances are. However, there are hijackers also known as spies who insist on snooping in our business. The article "U.S., British intelligence mining data from the nine U.S. internet companies in broad secret program" talked about the NSA and FBI tracking anything we do on the server. They were meant to target those who did not live in the U.S. I believe surveillancing the internet is like policing because it violates our right to not provide any information. When I get on Facebook, privacy settings are very complicated. In the article, "Facebook Privacy Is So Confusing Even the Zuckerberg Family Photo Isn't Private," A subscriber to Randi Zuckerberg saw a photo of the Zuckerberg family. If it was posted as friends only, why did Facebook user Callie Schweitzer have access to the family photo? And how can photos on Facebook be hidden from the News Feeds besides clicking 'Hide'? Once photos and posts are on Facebook, they can't be undone, but they can be edited or deleted.
