Should the government have oversight of internet content? Is it needed? Is it possible? Why or why not?

Should the government have oversight of internet content? Is it needed? Is it possible? Why or why not?

In our government system we have as a democracy in which protects our privacy. The fourth amendment is protection. The fathers of our country knew what they were doing and set forth a very inportant amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. To sum this up it means we have the right to not have the government intervene into our personal buisness. If your on the phone the government technically isn't allowed to tap into our calls. But unfortunately like we talked about during our debates they do it anyway. So what gives the government to violate more of our fourth amendment rights and ready our online content? We have enough people watching us all day. People are on video dozens of time each day. In 2008 we are watched more then ever. We hve cameras taking pictures of our license plates and sending us tickets for God sakes! Why would we ever want them to butt into our private life more then they already do? To answer the question on if it is possible the answer is yes. Anything is basically possible for the government to do. They know the technology and the world more then we know. It wouldnt be right for the government to do this and in order for them to get the right to do this if they arent akready violating it. The United Sates Government would have to break the fourth amendment even more then they already have. If I broke the constitution I would be arrested but they can break the rules without beign arrested? This isn't right and should never be needed for the government to have internet oversight.
