Abstract
On the surface, the argument at the heart of the "security vs. privacy" debate is seductively simple: "to prevent terrorism we must empower police to monitor all online activities." However, this claim suffers two fatal logical flaws: it presumes that the proposed fix will solve the problem, and it ignores the proposal\´s potential for creating even more serious problems than the one it professes to fix. The article considers these aspects.
