Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and
selected open access locations. This book is the culmination of
nearly six years of research initiated by Fred Cate and Jim Dempsey
to examine national practices and laws regarding systematic
government access to personal information held by private-sector
companies. Leading an effort sponsored by The Privacy Projects,
they commissioned a series of country reports, asking national
experts to uncover what they could about government demands on
telecommunications providers and other private-sector companies to
disclose bulk information about their customers. Their initial
research found disturbing indications of systematic access in
countries around the world. These data collection programs, often
undertaken in the name of national security, were cloaked in
secrecy and largely immune from oversight, posing serious threats
to personal privacy. After the Snowden leaks confirmed these
initial findings, the project morphed into something more
ambitious: an effort to explore what should be the rules for
government access to private-sector data, and how companies should
respond to government demands for access. initiated by Fred Cate
and James Dempsey to examine the This book contains twelve updated
country reports plus eleven analytic chapters that present
descriptive and normative frameworks for assessing national
surveillance laws, survey evolving international law and human
rights principles applicable to government surveillance, and
describe oversight mechanisms. It also explores the concept of
accountability and the role of encryption in shaping the
surveillance debate. Cate and Dempsey conclude by offering
recommendations for both governments and industry.
