the media and privacy

This page is under development.

In the interim, the supplementary Surveillance & Identity profile discusses -

• community ambivalence about media breaches of privacy (many people regard their own privacy as sacrosanct but provide a willing audience for tabloid journalism and 'trash tv')
• proposals for a 'right of publicity' at the intersection of intellectual property and privacy
• questions about online crime registers, disagreement about spent convictions and 'Megans Law' schemes
