Home » Survey Says Americans Don’t Trust Government, Tech Companies on Privacy and Surveillance
Most Americans value privacy in their online and offline lives but feel they have little control over it, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center.
The majority of Americans believe it is important – often “very important” – that they be able to maintain privacy and confidentiality in commonplace activities of their lives. The report said that these views are especially pronounced when it comes to knowing what information about them is being collected and who is doing the collecting. These feelings also extend to their wishes that they be able to maintain privacy in their homes, at work, during social gatherings, at times when they want to be alone and when they are moving around in public.
