The American government has reportedly been monitoring communications, such as emails and phone calls, in the U.S and other countries. Pew conducted a survey asking people from around the world whether they find it acceptable or not for the US to monitor communications from citizens, American citizens, suspected terrorists and country leaders.
Here’s what the Lebanese had to say about that:
– 92% found is unacceptable for the American government to monitor communications of Lebanese citizens.
– 76% found it acceptable for the American government to monitor communications of suspected terrorists.
– 77% found it unacceptable for the American government to monitor communications of US citizens.
– 87% found it unacceptable for the American government to monitor communications of Lebanese leaders.
You can find other Pew polls [Here]. One interesting survey on the rise of Islamic Extremism in the Middle East revealed that 92% of Lebanese (the highest %) were very concerned about Islamic Extremism in their country.
Thanks Mark!
Change the title to :”…Of citizens” from “From citizens”…as correctly done later.
Actually this is how it’s mentioned in the report, which is why I pasted it but then when I wrote my version I wrote it properly.
I think its ok both ways.
As an american, I have no problem with the usa spying on me at anytime, i have nothing to hide as i am a law abiding citizens.
Its better than having terrorist groups spying on its citizens to assassinate them or intimidate them should they not agree with the regime’s evil agenda.
