Content
This unit focuses on the expanding range and depth of digital surveillance across contemporary society. It examines how this is driven by a mixture of technological change, private enterprise, and the demands of public authorities to maintain regulatory control and governance of the ‘digital’. It will place particular focus on the needs and interests of law enforcement and national security bodies as they attempt to exert control on new frontiers and methods of digital communication. The countervailing demands to maintain strong traditions of civil liberties, administrative oversight, democratic rights, and clear accountability of the various manifestations of encroaching digital surveillance will also be considered and balanced.
