Again, we need laws that stipulate three new Techno-age rights
* right to awareness of surveillance
Surveillance is just sooo pervasive that trying to ban it is useless. Just require that any time anyone is able to identify or track an individual through video, data mining, or any other process, they are required to publish this within $time period - publish the date time location means and data used, along with the identifying data.
That first one reduces your privacy even further: not only does Group A track you, but now everyone knows that Group A is tracking you, allowing Group B to ask Group A for data on you.
But now I know group b is tracking me too. Basically we have lost our privacy and we need some way of knowing who has what on us. Total transparency is the only answer - otherwise people can track me and it will never come to light - so punitive data protection measures will not work cos there is no obligation to report.
