Solution

There are two views in this scenario.

1. State Security

Now a days terrorism is increasing in a higher pace. In order to control terrorist attacks, it becomes necessary to monitor the domestic and international targets so that we can safeguard our nation. Without monitoring we may be fragile to even a small planned attack.

2. Privacy Interruption

Monitoring other persons activities is necessarily a privacy issue. It would be unpleasing to other countries or its own citizens when they know that government is monitoring their activities. Even now a days, There are many people who are unpleased of customized advertisements popping up in the webpages.

From national safety perspective, It\'s justifiable to monitor domestic and international targets provided they don\'t use it to exploit others.
