Are there ethic rules for 'Big Brother'?

Question

Smart cameras and intelligent devices can influence our lives dramatically. Our freedom is somehow restricted by it... How far can we go? What should be done by 'Big Brother', not only to control our lives but also to help us?

Answer 1

Civilian oversight is the answer. Usually when governments or law enforcement agencies conduct surveillance operations there is some type of civilian oversight to ensure that they only spy on the "bad guys" and that this type of power isn't being abused. This oversight is noticeably absent from things like the NSA wiretaps that were used to monitor suspected terrorists. If we push our governments to incorporate oversight mechanisms into surveillance operations then we can ensure that technology is used for beneficial purposes to create a safer world to live in.

Answer 2

as you saw by the extension of the powers of the president that there really are no ethnical rules for big brother it is whatever he can get away with, that means not getting caught, but if you do get caught ..... actually then there seems to be some accountability but the act must be reported first to have the appearance of ethics
