Chapter 3 Privacy and Public Knowledge

"Most provisions in the Bill of Rights restated rights that the English had enjoyed under the common law, but one element that grew specifically out of the Revolutionary era was Fourth 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 the Oath or affirmations, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized". The references to "papers" underlines the historical connection of the Fourth Amendment to freedom of expressions" (Starr, 94-95).

And how these Amendment was created to support people's right. However, in many cases this is does not apply. Many People do not have these simple rights. If you are in the comfort of your own home and decided to surf the net and see something about the government you do not like and decided to blog on.

Although they would not be able to delete your blog you will indeed pay for what you wrote in the comfort of your own home. You are limited in things you are allowed to say the Right to Privacy is limited.
