In over all, the main concern of the people against the Act is due to the law that is enforced by it. It forces U.S. citizens to give up way too many personal freedoms and constitutional rights in exchange for any level of "safety" the law may provide. They are also worried that it would fundamentally change American society by all the procedures and investigations which violate our privacy.
Many have even compared this to a novel written by George Orwell in 1984 called "Big Brother". The book Orwell introduces the afflictions of a totalitarian government known as "Big Brother," by describing a negative utopia in which the government monitors and regulates all aspects of life. The "Big Brother" concept elicits suspicion among all members of society, and often leads to false accusations of crime and unlawful punishments. Opponents of the act state that the mishandling of it could possibly lead to similar effects. Although the act may some day expire as a result of its sunset clause, they argue that the act will "provide a basis for future laws that contravene on civil rights".
