Ethical Concerns in Privacy, Data Security,
and Surveillance
A Discussion on Challenges and Ethical
Implications
April 2, 2025
Introduction
• As technology advances, our personal data is
collected, stored, and analyzed more than ever
before. While this brings many benefits, it also
raises concerns about privacy, security, and
surveillance.

• This presentation explores these challenges,


providing real-world examples and discussing
ways to balance security and personal
freedom.
Privacy Concerns
• • Companies and governments collect data without
full user consent.
• • Online tracking and targeted ads raise ethical
questions.
• • Social media and smart devices gather extensive
personal data.
• • Lack of transparency about how data is used and
shared.
• • Example: Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal,
where data was used to influence elections.
(Cadwalladr, The Guardian, 2018)
Data Security Issues
• Cyberattacks put personal, financial, and health data
at risk.
• Weak security measures lead to massive data
breaches.
• Many users reuse passwords, making them
vulnerable.
• Ransomware and phishing attacks are on the rise.
• Example: The Equifax breach of 2017 exposed
sensitive data of 147 million people. (FTC Report,
2019)
Surveillance and Ethics
• • Government surveillance is meant for security but
can violate privacy.
• • AI and facial recognition are widely used in public
spaces.
• • Surveillance can be misused for political control or
discrimination.
• • Many people are unaware of how much they are
being monitored.
• • Example: China's Social Credit System tracks
citizens’ behavior and affects their daily lives.
(Mozur, NY Times, 2018)
Finding a Balance
• • Stronger privacy laws can help protect personal
data.
• • Companies should be transparent about how they
use data.
• • People should be educated about online security.
• • Ethical AI and responsible data collection can
reduce risks.
• • Example: The GDPR in Europe gives people more
control over their data. (European Union Regulation,
2016)
Conclusion
• As technology continues to evolve, privacy and
security concerns will only grow.

• It is important for governments, businesses, and


individuals to work together to ensure ethical data
practices that protect privacy while maintaining
security.
