Safety of Privacy? Why?

As in which is meer important to you. High levels of safety and low levels of privacy of high levels of privacy and low levels of safety.

And I guess u can, but try to not take the neutral ground. This is the "If u had to choose one" kind of thing.

(XD I was asked this in English as a journal topic and figured it would be an interesting vraag to ask here.)

If I had to pick, I would say privacy.

However, I would argue that the two go hand and hand. How can u say u are veilig if u can't even be veilig from the prying eyes of those who may seek to control your decisions?

Let me give an example,
During the gilded age in the United States, it was not an unheard of practice for a large company to intimidate their workers to vote for certain local politicians. They were able to do this because they could gain access to the information on who voted for who. Later, local governments had to start passing laws that made voting records completely secret, only those who count the stemmen had access to that information. Companies could no longer intimidate their workers into voting one way of another.

The vraag is bad, and it misses the real issue that the people of the world really face. When people ask the vraag of safety versus privacy, they're usually asking a pointed vraag of do u approve of the NSA.
The NSA does not provide any safety, and it does a good job of violating privacy. It does however infringe on freedom, all for the possibility of maybe catching a terrorist's twitter account once in a while, so the vraag is that of safety of freedom.
It does us no good to avoid the real question.

Try Not To Take The Neutral Ground ? But NEUTRALITY IS JUSTICE. It's My Thing, What I Bring To The Party.
Both Have Their Consequences But If I Had To Choose One It Will Probably Be Privacy. There Are Some Things That Are Better Left Unknown !!!!
