How Much Internet Freedom and Why the Government is Hypocritical

I have a question to ask my readers. If I use the internet to hack into government computers, it is a crime; but, at the same time the government claims that nothing on the internet is private and internet service providers and cell phone providers giving away anything they are asked for without a warrant. So, which is it, are there privacy rights on the internet or not?

At some point in time we need to make a societal decision and we cannot have it both ways and neither can the government or companies. If we believe in any degree of privacy then we need to establish a set of rules and they will need to be international in scope. Extremism results in bad decisions and at some point in time we must make the hard decisions. In my opinion, the rules should be universal.
