The disclosures by Edward Snowden since June 2013 revealing mass surveillance and large-scale intrusion practices have provided compelling evidence of the existence of far-reaching, technologically advanced surveillance systems. Put in place by United States intelligence services and their partners in certain Council of Europe member states, these systems are aimed at collecting, storing and analysing communication data, including content, location and other metadata, on a massive scale. In several countries, a massive "surveillance-industrial complex" has evolved, which risks escaping democratic control and accountability and threatens the free and open character of our societies. The surveillance practices disclosed endanger fundamental human rights, including the rights to privacy, freedom of information and expression, and the rights to a fair trial and freedom of religion. Given the threat such surveillance techniques pose, how can states uphold these fundamental rights and ensure the protection of privacy and Internet safety in the digital age? This book presents, in its first part, the report of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and, in its second part, the legal expertise of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (the Venice Commission).

A global system of mass, warrantless, government surveillance now imperils privacy and other civil liberties essential to sustaining the free world. This project to unilaterally, totally control information flow is a product of complex, ongoing interplay between technological, political, legal, corporate, economic, and social factors, including research and development of advanced, digital technologies; an unremitting “war on terror”; relaxed surveillance laws; government alliances with information technology companies; mass media manipulation; and corporate globalism. This book details these and other factors contributing to this degenerative trend; specifies recommendations for constructive change; and provides a platform for grassroots efforts to stop the decline before it is too late.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on mass surveillance and its legality under the national laws of a few countries and international law as a whole. Many among us frequently hear the term ‘mass surveillance’ these days, and connect it with government monitoring us through the internet and other media – keeping a note on who we are, what we do, any signs within us that could be contrary to the national security and so on. After all, if you are a good, law-abiding citizen, then what do you have to fear about? However, what about the privacy of an individual? As a law-abiding citizen living in a liberal democracy, shouldn’t one have the right to indulge freely in legal activities without any fear or backlash from the authority? Or, is it that as long as you do what you’re told, there is nothing to fear? This paper shall analyze these questions, and some more, where we look into these issues especially from an international and legal perspective. By reading this paper, the reader has an opportunity to understand surveillance and its background, and get a thorough understanding of arguments put forward by both the supporters of the surveillance laws (i.e. the government) and those who are against it. This paper looks at how mass surveillance is defined under laws of various countries, since there is no specific international law that deals with it. At the end, the paper presents plausible international laws and regulations that can be viewed to assess mass surveillance according to the current laws in place.

"They know where you got on the bus, where you went to work, where you slept, and what other cell phones slept with you."

Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, , course: Political Science/Governance, language: English, abstract: This essay examines dataveillance, focusing on the state's use of personal data for both service delivery and surveillance. It argues that while some surveillance is justified, governments often misuse data for control and repression, amplified by modern information technology and social media. The paper highlights key dangers, including wrong identification, profiling, and social inequality, using India's Aadhaar system as a case study. Ultimately, it concludes that unchecked dataveillance threatens individual privacy, civil liberties, and democratic principles.

Video surveillance, public records, fingerprints, hidden microphones, RFID chips: in contemporary societies the intrusive techniques of surveillance used in daily life have increased dramatically. The “war against terror” has only exacerbated this trend, creating a world that is closer than one might have imagined to that envisaged by George Orwell in 1984. How have we reached this situation? Why have democratic societies accepted that their rights and freedoms should be taken away, a little at a time, by increasingly sophisticated mechanisms of surveillance? From the anthropometry of the 19th Century to the Patriot Act, through an analysis of military theory and the Echelon Project, Armand Mattelart constructs a genealogy of this new power of control and examines its globalising dynamic. This book provides an essential wake-up call at a time when democratic societies are becoming less and less vigilant against the dangers of proliferating systems of surveillance.

Does government surveillance make us safer? The thirteenth Munk Debate, held in Toronto on Friday, May 2, 2014, pitted Michael Hayden and Alan Dershowitz against Glenn Greenwald and Alexis Ohanian to debate whether state surveillance is a legitimate defence of our freedom — the democratic issue of the moment. In a risk-filled world, democracies are increasingly turning to large-scale state surveillance, at home and abroad, to fight complex and unconventional threats — but is it justified? For some, the threats more than justify the current surveillance system, and the laws and institutions of democracies are more than capable of balancing the needs of individual privacy with collective security. But for others, we are in peril of sacrificing to a vast and unaccountable state surveillance apparatus the civil liberties that guarantee citizens’ basic freedoms and our democratic way of life. In this edition of the Munk Debates, former head of the CIA and NSA Michael Hayden and civil liberties lawyer Alan Dershowitz square off against journalist Glenn Greenwald and reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian to debate the legitimacy of state surveillance. With issues of Internet privacy increasingly gaining prominence, the Munk Debate on the Surveillance State asks: Should government be able to monitor our activities in order to keep us safe?

The aim of the report is to highlight what the Committee felt were the most important and controversial measures of the Bill, to lay out the arguments for and against, and to reach a tentative conclusion in time for the second reading debate. The Committee concluded that the Bill should be given a second reading, but it will need close examination in committee. Doubt is expressed whether a bill of this length and with major implications for civil liberties should be passed through the Commons in such a short period and with so little time for detailed examination. The legislation will pass through the Commons in two weeks with only three days of debate by all MPs. The report recommends that the Government should seek an alternative measure, in consultation with other European partners, which avoids the need to exercise the power of indefinite detention. It expresses reluctant acceptance that there may be a small category of persons who will have to be detained, but states that this should only be exercised as a last resort, for those who cannot be prosecuted, extradited or deported. The report recommends that a "sunset" clause should apply to the immigration and asylum provisions of the Bill, which would mean detention powers would lapse after five years. A full parliamentary debate would then be needed for an annual renewal order, rather than a 90 minute debate in a standing committee. The report also states that there is insufficient evidence to justify the extension of the law of incitement to include religious hatred, as it is doubtful that this will work in practice.

The Patriot Act, which was passed shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, has allowed the government to monitor communication by phone, email, or social media, to access credit and bank reports, or to track activity on the internet. This book examines the new methods used by the government to spy on citizens, the reasons it became necessary, and the tradeoffs between increased safety and a loss of privacy, and the moral arguments for and against these tradeoffs.
