The conflict between personal privacy and security has once again become the focus. Recently, a survey on a large surveillance company showed that the surveillance equipment installed by the company in multiple cities has aroused public concerns. The survey showed that more than 70% of respondents were uneasy about the ubiquity of surveillance cameras and believed that it posed a threat to personal privacy.
In response, a spokesperson for the company said: "Our surveillance system is mainly to enhance public safety, and we will take technical measures to protect the privacy of users." However, this statement did not dispel the public's doubts. Many people believe that the surveillance system lacking transparency and supervision is prone to abuse.
For this reason, government departments in multiple cities are considering formulating relevant regulations to balance the conflict between security and privacy. The discussion of public safety and personal privacy will continue to cause heated discussions in the future.
