Freedom and Liberty and the 4th Amendment

Happy 4th of July!

Americans are celebrating Independence day. U.S. citizens have important rights as defined in the U.S constitution. One that has gained considerable attention lately is the 4th Amendment.

Here is the U.S Constitution Bill of Rights – 4th Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Simon Dumenco from AdAge writes “In 2013, your personhood, so to speak, exists, to a large extent, online, and your “houses, papers, and effects” are also, of course, deeply weaved into the “cloud” of the internet. Given what we’ve all recently learned about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, it’s clear that our collective “houses, papers, and effects” are constantly and systematically being searched and seized.”

Today Restore the Fourth is organizing rallies across the U.S. Another initiative StopWatching.Us has over 540,000 signatures. U.S citizens are rightly concerned about this important right being eroded when they use online services.
