What are some views on the right of privacy?
112407
The starting point really is Griswold v. Connecticut saying that the state has no right to regulate your childbearing decisions.  There's nothing in the constitution specifically saying that there's a right to privacy.  Courts have found that it exists in the "penumbra" or shadow of all explicit rights in the Constitution.  \n\nPeople who read the Constitution literally word for word say that the word "privacy" doesn't appear in the Constitution and that the framers of the constitution according to the "plan of the convention" - code word for the mores of the 18th century - never intended for there to be a right to privacy.  This is the battleground on which some people want to attack the continued viability to constitutional protection for abortion rights under Roe v Wade, which ultimately is founded on an extension of the Griswold right to privacy (right to reproduce without state regulation or interference).

No. Privacy is very important. Also, I don't want people to get the wrong impression and gossip to spread.

There is no specific right to privacy granted in the constitution. Rather, the Supreme Court has ruled that it is implicit in the "penumbras" of the various amendments. Concurring opinions referred to the ninth amendment which says that rights not explicitly given in the constitution to the people are not to be denied them as well as the 4th and 5th amendment requirements of due process. The main case establishing this precedent was Griswold v. Connecticut, in which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional a law banning contraceptives.

Overview\n\nIn many ways electronic privacy and corporate rights in the workplace are related and dissimilar.  A person’s privacy should extend throughout his or her life, from the privacy of his or her home to the professional environment of the workplace.  Privacy involves the right to exercise control over your personal information.  Privacy protection imposes restrictions on the collection, storage, use, and dissemination of personal information.  Electronic or “new surveillance” is more extensive, decentralized, involuntary, and invisible.  Electronic privacy is posed largely as a problem on the Internet.  Expectations of privacy in the workplace may not be the same as elsewhere.  Employees are not necessarily entitled to a reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace, particularly in the context of nonoccupational activities. \nEase of Surveillance Today\n\nPowerful computers and high-speed networks simplify the electronic monitoring and tracking of people’s activities.\n·        Computers have removed the ability for individuals to control the ways personal information is used\n·        A gradual erosion of privacy has begun to evolve and effects of the “little brother” is taking over electronic interactions\nElectronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)\n\nEPIC is a public interest research group that advances civil liberties in the electronic age\n\nEPIC Model Privacy Code for the National Information Infrastructure:\n·        The confidentiality of electronic communications should be protected\n·        Privacy considerations must be recognized explicitly in the provision, use, and regulation of telecommunications services\n·        The collection of personal data for telecommunications services should be limited to the extent necessary to provide the service\n·        Service providers should not disclose information without the explicit consent of service users\n·          Service providers should be required to make known their data collection practices to service users\n·           Users should not be required to pay for routine privacy protection\n·        Additional costs for privacy should be imposed only for extraordinary protection\n·        Service providers should be encouraged to explore technical means to protect privacy\n·        Appropriate security policies should be developed to protect network communications\n·        A mechanism should be established to ensure the observance of these principles\nInternet\n\nRules of conduct now found in legislation will not be sufficient to protect privacy.  Microsoft, the giant software company stunned the business world when it announced that it would not sell data about customers to MSN.  From internet interactions, privacy policies will be heavily discussed and new privacy policies will emerge.\n·        The existing Internet builds upon existing communications networks\n·        Computers sift through names, addresses, and telephone numbers provided by company sponsors to generate lists for businesses and marketing efforts\n·        New policies will extend the privacy laws that are already in existence in other countries\nOnline Networks\n\nOnline privacy is currently a heated topic.  Interest in privacy and other consumer issues in cyberspace have become very important topics.  Consumer education is essential to protection consumer privacy in online environments.  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will address the following issues for online networks:\n·        Consumer expectations for their personal and transactional information\n·        Consumer control over personal and transactional information\n·        Appropriate users of consumer information, including transactional and personality profile information by online service providers and content providers\n·        Consumer consent requirements\n·        Access and correction opportunities for personal information on the nets\nWorkplace Privacy\n\nPrivacy in the wor

They have the right to privacy and the right to a second chance. But the public refuses to allow them their rights due to ignorance and paranoia. \n\nMaybe you should be asking what rights have been taken from sex offenders.

A right to privacy is implied but not directly stated in the Constitution. With the Supreme Court stacked the way it is, I doubt they will declare it unconstitutional. I have dropped my phone company (Verizon) entirely and gone with Cable Modem and VOIP.. I recommend anyone concerned about the "Big Brother" state America is becoming do the same.

It depends on your view points on the law.  I feel the law is too involved in what we do and 'likes' to invade on our privacy.  I think that it also depends on if you really in fact will use it for it's purpose... pain!  I know a few people who take advantage of it being legal.  So you have to ask yourself:  am I really in enough pain?  Would you be using it for yourself?  Or with friends?  Selling it?

Just because people are rich and famous doesn't mean they are evil or comaparable to sickos, or need to have their privacy invaded. How would you feel? You may be too close to this project to see that nobody should encroach on anyone else's rights...there is such a thing as free speech, too.

I speak from across the fence on this matter, but I will let you know what I hear most often. The Patriot Act that has broadened the government's ability to seek information from it's fellow citizens has left some more liberal voters upset. They feel that the government's noose of power has grown a bit tighter, and I assume they foresee a future government domination over the people of this nation. I do not know of any firsthand accounts where someone's privacy rights have been infringed upon, or violated. Not that I wish there was, but there doesn't seem to be anyone personally hurt by the Act. Personally, I've felt that as long as man would uphold his responsibilites to treat his fellow man with love, and respect there would be no need for government at all. But we both know that we fail to do this, therefore creating a need for government. So if the privilages we enjoy so dearly seem in danger, I believe it is because of our own faults. I hope that this has been helpful.

There never was a such thing as privacy, Mack. The government has all kinds of information about you and I. As long as we have a social security number, the government can literally bring up a whole mountain of information on anybody in an instant. So, really the bill of rights protects civil liberties to an extent. You can say what you want as long as it is true, otherwise it's slander and you can be sued, and you can have the right to an attorney paid for by the courts, but you only get a public defender.

Yes. Privacy rights should be the subject of the next amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  I recognize, of course, that several landmark cases have made privacy a "fundamental" right under the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, but I do not feel safe given the progressively more conservative orientation of the Court.  If and when Judge Alito joins the Court, silenced will be the voice of Justice O'Connor, an important voice of reason on the subject of privacy.  An amendment could explicitly enumerate what privacy rights are protected and inviolable.
