In connection with the development of cybercrime, should the surveillance of citizens by national security services be developed, expanded, increased?
To what extent can the developed range of citizens' surveillance be improved as part of the improvement of national cyber security systems?
As part of the improvement of cyber security systems, should the services for combating cybercrime be able to surveillance the entire activity of citizens on the Internet?
Are legal norms regulating the issues of cyber security, services for combating cybercrime and data security gathered in Big Data database systems of large online technology companies fully adapted to the rapidly growing ICT and Internet technology?
Please reply

In my opinion it is not a question of whether it is too big or not. It is more a question of how to go about doing surveillance and what.
For example, are there:
- Are the bounds of surveillance properly delimited?
- Are they geared to what they are meant to be used ?
- Proper segregation of duties? Are there check and balances?
- Is the data safe and distributed?
- Is there transparency in the process(this is where they usually fail big time)?
- Is there a proper conflict resolution mechanism in case of wrongdoing?
@ Dariusz Prokopowicz, i will give you a quick one.
In this digital world, there is need for surveillance of citizens by the government for various reasons. Some of them include:
- the rise of cyber crimes, sometimes surveillance can assist in mitigating them as a way of implementing cyber security.
- the rise of eCommerce and the digitization of most transactions and activities, there has to be a central way of monitoring such activities as control measures, in a bid to also have a reduction in such cases.
As long as there is a policy or a framework on how the surveillance will be implemented, its mandatory in this information age. There is need for some guidance on how it is done and people be told about such surveillance apriori, awareness is key.
I also believe to some extend, its too big. every activity is monitored, compromising the confidentiality (privacy) of individuals. if properly communicated, people will gladly consent for surveillance
The surveillance of citizens by national security services not too big are Digital surveillance is a growing global concern, following the Snowden revelations, subsequent national security leaks and the most recent controversy regarding Cambridge Analytica and the Trump campaign. This report explores some of the dilemmas and deadlocks regarding digital surveillance, its extent in democracies and autocracies and how it interacts with the ‘surveillance-industrial complex’, SIC. SIC is an often-overlooked aspect in the surveillance-privacy debate as it is not necessarily intentions that render surveillance problematic, but its business model. In all political systems there is a secrecy, transparency and surveillance cost which drives a country’s willingness to hoard secrets (citizen data, international data transfers) or to disclose some key political information to the public for the sake of legitimacy
Yes, that's right. It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally because in individual countries this issue may be developed to a different degree and based on slightly different assumptions. Best wishes,

Most citizens are unaware of how much information about Internet users is possessed by Internet technology companies that offer certain information services on the Internet.
