The government's ability to obtain and analyze recorded information about its citizens through the process known as data mining has expanded enormously over the past decade. Since at least the mid-1990s, the quantity of the world's recorded data has doubled every year. At the same time, the computing power necessary to store, access and analyze these data has increased geometrically, at increasingly cheaper cost. Governments that want to know about their subjects would be foolish not to take advantage of this situation, and federal and state bodies in this country have done so with alacrity. Most academic commentators have called for the abolition of data mining or advocated limitations that are so substantial they would have the same effect. In my view, these commentators exaggerate the dangers of data mining and misperceive its importance as a law enforcement tool; more fundamentally, they take a blunderbuss approach to a highly nuanced problem. A careful look at data mining suggests that many versions of i

The computer hacker is one of the most vilified figures in the digital era, but to what degree are organizations actually responsible for compromised personal records? Although computer hacking has been widely reframed as a criminal activity and has received increasingly harsh punishments, the legal response has potentially obfuscated the responsibility of corporations and other institutional actors for data security. To examine the role of organizational behavior in privacy violations, I analyze over 215 incidents of compromised data between 1980 and 2006. All in all, some 1.76 billion records have been exposed, either through hacker intrusions or poor management. In the context of the United States, there have been 8 records compromised for every adult. Between 1980 and 2006, businesses were the primary sources of these incidents, but I find that the recent legislation in California to require notification of privacy violations has exposed educational institutions as among the least well equipped to protect

The rise of social technology through sites like Facebook empowers users to model their connections with other people in the real world and allows them to share information more effectively and efficiently with their friends. Most of this sharing is unquestionably socially beneficial. But fears that some of the sharing can be harmful lead to regulatory and other efforts focusing on privacy, safety, and asserted illegal use of material protected by copyright and other intellectual property regimes.

Computer users are increasingly finding spyware programs on their computers that they did not know were installed and that they cannot uninstall, that create privacy problems and open security holes, and that hurt the performance and stability of their systems. No single tool can solve the spyware problem on its own. A complete solution involves a combination of better enforcement of existing laws, anti-spyware technologies, self-regulatory policies, and perhaps new legislation. Come listen to Alissa Cooper, a spyware specialist from the Center for Democracy & Technology, discuss the legal and policy tools that are being used to wage the war against spyware and the challenges that lie ahead.
