Conference on Surveillance

Recent technological, economic, and political developments have drawn increased attention to the topic of surveillance. Examples include the NSA’s wiretap and data mining programs, Hewlett Packard’s surreptitious surveillance of its board members’ communications, and the emergence of search engines and social networking sites that permit people to learn otherwise obscure information about fellow citizens. This attention to surveillance has been accompanied by public debate about what sorts of surveillance are appropriate, and what, if anything, the law should do about it. This conference will bring together the nation’s top privacy and criminal procedure scholars for an exploration of these various forms of surveillance, and a discussion of the relationships among them. Defining surveillance quite expansively, to include everything from government wiretaps to private industry’s use of cookies to track Internet browsing, the conference aims to draw attention to common themes that arise when the law tries to regulate in this domain.
