A secret multi-billion dollar industry created a system that lets the government to identify, track, and watch people through devices such as phones and computers. One company offers the ability to track political opponents, another company says it can take control of cell phones and use it to listen in on conversations as well as take pictures of the owners, another company lets users to see what they see, and the last company offers to record multiple phone calls and store them forever. Brochures and other marketing material are known as “spy files” released on WikiLeaks and a human rights group Privacy International. This industry is worth a lot and is quickly growing. These brochures are not yet available but they are being handed out to certain people first. These documents are so important that they are said to have come out of a Hollywood film. However, the content is real. They can do so much with these files from searching texts, phone calls, pictures, basically anything on every day devices used by millions. Many are afraid these documents will be abused and these powers will be used for unimportant issues. It is easy to take advantage of this but must not because this can only go so far to a certain point.
The files have already been abused and they are being used to monitor the people of the country. If they go in the wrong hands the situation can be deadly. They must not go into the wrong hands because then it not only can be deadly but other people can get hurt. People in China can now even crack passwords for devices and even accounts on Google. This should only be accessible by the few highest top authorities and no one else. I don’t even like the fact that there is such a thing because it cuts into everyone’s privacy.
