Government surveillance is the practice of monitoring the activities, communications, and behavior of individuals or groups, typically through the use of advanced technology such as CCTV cameras, phone tapping, and internet monitoring. This surveillance is often carried out by government agencies for the purpose of maintaining national security, preventing criminal activity, and gathering intelligence. However, the practice of government surveillance raises concerns about invasion of privacy, civil liberties violations, and the potential abuse of power by authorities. Recent advancements in digital technology have made surveillance techniques more sophisticated and widespread, leading to ongoing debates and discussions about the balance between security and individual rights.
