With the Advent of internet, mobile phone and other accessories that use frequency of different kind, it has become easier for the government to invade privacy in the name of national security. Though privacy is a human right but it is now violated rampantly by most governments around the globe. We all know about U.S.PRISM- a surveillance program under which the U.S National Security Agency (NSA) collect information of it's people. A few years ago the confidential documents leaked by WIKILEAKS exposed the ghoulish state of the U.S Government that left no stone unturned to hijack the private information of it's people. If this is the case of a developed country like America, we can easily surmise what is going on in the developing and least developed countries.
We can not maintain our privacy anywhere. We are constantly being tracked through our mobile phones. In internet most of the sites, according to the rules and regulations of their governments, are asking for the users' private information and private documents to be able to use their site properly. These sites are being hacked now and then and all those sensitive documents are going to the hands of the hackers who are selling them cheaply for money. Thus, we are reduced to leading a precarious life like that of the animals of a zoo where they are constantly watched and monitored.
The rise of blockchain technology actually makes it easier for government to spy on us. For communications, there are enormous leaks of metadata: who you are talking to, where, when and for how long. Government use this to build a remarkably complete picture of one's life.
