Answer 1

It is better to protect privacy over security as protecting the privacy may lead to security especially in the case of government officials, police personnel's and our leaders. The right to privacy is incredibly important. Individuals could be falsely flagged for nothing more than exercising their freedom of speech. Further, once data is collected, there is nothing stopping and it can fall into the wrong hands or be being used for other purposes. As an IT professional knows, data becomes incredibly hard to control once it has been created (Elamawy, 2016).
