With a threat of a terror attack both America and the United Kingdom have called for stricter surveillance of the public. David Cameron has even called for encrypted software to be monitored.
However it is not surprising that they have called for a tightening in cyber security after the twitter account of the US military command was hacked and posted content claiming to support the Islamic state. The recent cyber attack on Sony has also given the governments good reason to bring in new stricter laws.
I am interested in creating my project around the theme of surveillance. Currently I feel that all of this is a bit excessive and will lead to a bigger invasion of privacy. However I am interested to see if my view on it changes or gets stronger with the more I find out.
