This book discusses contemporary standards of legal safeguards in the area of bulk electronic surveillance from the perspective of the European legal model. Bulk, or untargeted, surveillance, although traditionally associated with the interception of electronic communications, is increasingly used as a convenient tool for collecting information on large groups of society. The collection of redundant information, which is intrinsic to bulk surveillance, is no longer a side effect but an important objective of the use of bulk powers. As a result, untargeted surveillance is everywhere increasingly being implemented, and without any clear link to state security or crime-fighting objectives. This work examines the origins of untargeted measures, explores their mechanics and key concepts, and defines what distinguishes them from other forms of surveillance. The various elements of the legal safeguards in place, which are fundamental to protecting individuals from the risks of abuse of power, are analysed in detail. The book discusses not only the different standards of legal safeguards, but also gives examples of their implementation in individual European countries. It also examines the relationship between the development of the global data market and untargeted surveillance powers, in particular in the context of the risks associated with algorithmic surveillance, client-side scanning, the privatisation of surveillance – or surveillance as a service – and the increasingly widespread use of preventive content filtering mechanisms. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of law, international relations, public policy, engineering and sociology. It will also appeal to professionals dealing with various aspects of the use of surveillance measures, such as experts, members of the legislature and law enforcement agencies.

Free Download Marc Schuilenburg, "Making Surveillance Public: Why You Should Be More Woke About AI and Algorithms"
English | ISBN: 9047302052 | 2024 | 196 pages | PDF | 10 MB
‘In Making Surveillance Public law and philosophy scholar Marc Schuilenburg delivers a cogent, crisp, and convincing book on the challenges brought by AI and big data applications with respect to crime control and security. In contrast to governments reined in by law and ethics, the role of Google, Microsoft and Apple in crime and disorder prevention and detection is largely invisible. Schuilenburg documents the history, identifies the challenges, suggests useful concepts ("data donation", "algorithmic psychopower") and offers empirical examples such as Waze. Most importantly, he suggests how to think about the kinds of solutions needed in a radically changing control environment. The book is a valuable contribution to understanding the social embeddedness and consequences of seemingly "neutral" tools and the need for research and policy, in particular as this applies to private sector technology giants not traditionally seen as salient for crime control. The book is accessible to the general reader, but should be of particular interest to criminology, a field that has neglected the topic at its peril’

Free Download Thomas Mathiesen, "Towards a Surveillant Society: The Rise of Surveillance Systems in Europe"
English | ISBN: 1904380972 | 2013 | 290 pages | EPUB | 458 KB
Tracking the Surveillance Monster… Thomas Mathiesen describes how the major databases of Europe have become interlinked and accessible not just to participating countries but diverse organizations and third States; meaning that, largely unchallenged, a ‘Surveillance Monster’ now threatens rights, freedoms, democracy and the Rule of Law. As information is logged on citizens’ every move, data flows across borders via systems soon to be under central, global or even non-State control. Secret plans are hatched behind closed doors and ‘systems func-tionaries’ become defensive of their own roles. Goals expand and entire processes are shrouded in mystery. Alongside the integration of automated systems sits a weakening of State ties as Prüm, Schengen, Verizon, Prism and similar ventures lead to a lack of transparency, restraint or effective if any Parliamentary scrutiny. As Mathiesen points out in this penetrating account, the intention may have been fighting terrorism or organized crime, but the means have become disproportionate, unaccountable, over-expensive and lacking the verifiable results which ordinary vigilance, alertness and sound intelligence in communities should inherently provide. ‘Brings into the light the hidden effects of [surveillance and warns] of the need for vigilance’: Tony Bunyan, Director, Statewatch. ‘A timely and highly troubling analysis [which] reinforces alarm regarding a panoptical globe’: Andrew Rutherford.
