Dear Ashikur Rahman,

the balance between security and freedom is a huge, general, and currently very important problem. See, for example:

Should Governments Have the Authority to Regulate Internet Content and Access Through IT Infrastructure?

This question strikes at the balance between public safety and fundamental freedoms.

Supporting arguments:

• Governments have a duty to protect citizens from harmful content, including terrorism, child exploitation, and disinformation.
• Regulation of IT infrastructure can strengthen national security and uphold public order.
• Carefully designed policies can help curb hate speech and illegal online activities.

Opposing arguments:

• Excessive regulation threatens freedom of expression and the right to access information.
• Government overreach may lead to politically motivated censorship and suppress dissent.
• Strict controls on internet infrastructure could hinder innovation and limit economic growth.

A balanced approach would grant governments limited, transparent, and accountable regulatory powers, supported by independent oversight and public participation. Such safeguards can protect individual rights while addressing legitimate security and ethical concerns.
