SNEK ISSUE AREA
Rights & Privacy
SNEK treats constitutional and personal rights as limits on government power rather than permissions granted by government.
6 policies in this section. Pick one and go down the rabbit hole.
The Policies
Short answer first. Details when you want them.
Eminent Domain Needs to Mean Public Use
Government sometimes needs property for roads, utilities, infrastructure, and other legitimate public purposes. That power should remain narrow.
Free Speech Includes Speech You Hate
Government should not decide which lawful opinions are acceptable.
No Government-Mandated Encryption Backdoors
A vulnerability built for authorized users is still a vulnerability.
Facial Recognition Is a Tool, Not Permission for Permanent Surveillance
Government should not routinely identify and track everyone in public simply because technology makes it possible.
Gun Rights Are Rights
SNEK supports the individual right to keep and bear arms while holding people accountable for violent or criminal misuse.
Get a Warrant
Digital information can reveal more about someone’s life than many physical searches. Moving information onto a server should not erase basic privacy protections.
