Privacy has become a very controversial topic, as governments need to get

some private information in order to guarantee their citizens’ safety.

In spite of that, some people claim that conversations they have with their
mobile phones should not be recorded. They also argue that anyone
should be allowed to know which webpages they visit. However, there are
also plenty of police officers as well as civilians who consider that this
information can be really useful so as to solve and prevent crimes.
Nowadays, we do live in a very unsteady world, where acts of terrorism
have spread all over the world. As a result of that, the average citizen has
become more willing to let the police get some personal information,
what shows that somehow people have started to prioritize safety over
privacy.
Besides, it has been showed that having this kind of information is a great
tool to fight terrorism, as you can find out the accomplices a terrorist had
or listen to his calls. Obviously, the police are not going to waste their time
listening to private conversations of people who are not suspected of
terrorism.
In such a global world, we should be aware of the fact that technology can
be used to keep our day-to-day safer, therefore, we should not fear a
partial loss of privacy when lives are in danger.
To sum up, I do regard as necessary the recording of conversations and
the collection of data that can help to improve the safety of our society.
