Digital surveillance is the practice of monitoring and collecting data on individuals’ online activities, often without their knowledge or consent. This can include tracking visited websites, recording keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and accessing private messages and files. The justifications for such practices often revolve around security and protection, whether governments seek to prevent criminal activities or companies aiming to provide personalized advertising.
1. Invasion of privacy
The most immediate concern is the invasion of personal privacy. Access and collect sensitive information, including personal communications, location data, financial details, and health records. This data can then be used to create detailed profiles that can be exploited for various purposes, from targeted advertising to political manipulation.
2. Censorship and control
Surveillance is the power to monitor and censor online activities, suppressing dissent in the flow of information. This is self-censorship, where individuals refrain from expressing their true opinions or engaging in certain activities for fear of repercussions.
3. Misuse of data
The vast amounts of data collected through surveillance can be misused or abused. This includes unauthorized sharing or selling of data to third parties, using data for purposes other than originally intended, or even identity theft and fraud.
