-domestically has greatly increased following modern developments and
-continues to rapidly expand.

-\section{Surveillance in powerful systems}
-
-A government may get involved in the regular surveillance of its
-citizens for many reasons. The interception of communications are
-readily visible (inelegant) including the interception of mail in the
-American colonies by the British in the years before the American
-Revolution. This also included the change and destruction of
-information, yet the purpose remains the same as modern surveillance:
-to watch over citizens that the ruling authority does not trust or
-claims cannot be trusted. Those who wish to monitor modern electronic
-communications may suggest that such an operation exists in the
-interest of the safety of the public, by stopping crime and terrorism.

-\section{The Stasi}
-
-The methods of the Stasi are often described as inducing fear in
-citizens.

-\section{The present day}
-
-The traditional means by which enforcement authorities may investigate
-an individual or organisation is by obtaining permission to do so on
-the basis of adequate suspicion of illegal activity. Such a
-requirement prevents the unnecessary and ongoing violation of
-individual rights that may be considered highly present in societies
-around the world, enabled in part or in whole by modern technology.
-
-In a sense, modern technology could have been the ultimate enabler for
-privacy. The promise of modern encryption is such that a communication
-physically cannot be read by anyone other than the intended recipient,
-and the decentralised nature of the internet could mean an escape from
-central authorities in our communication such as a governmental postal
-service.
