As individuals, are we prepared to see our civil liberties and human rights being eroded due to state surveillance of websites/emails/social media, in order to ensure that we are protected from terrorism? The topic is closely linked to the current threats from violent extremist movements, demonstrated by recent events in Paris, Brussels and elsewhere.
