Abstract
The Surveillance Studies Network report of 2006 on the ‘surveillance society’, highlighting the omnipresence of information technology in British society, once again brought into sharp focus concerns about the types and levels of technological surveillance to which the public are subjected. This article seeks to explore the opportunities for surveillance presented by recent developments, and suggests a number of privacy and civil liberties concerns. © 2008, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
