EPIC Releases Privacy Report
The Electronic Privacy Information Center released its annual privacy and human rights survey on Friday, which examines the state of privacy in over 75 countries around the world. The report outlines legal protections, new challenges, and other important issues relating to privacy.
The study drew special attention to the continued expansion of government surveillance, officials said. Several countries have pursued new data retention schemes, expanded biometric identification requirements, and intensified international data transfers.
The report also found "continuing public opposition to video surveillance, workplace monitoring, and privacy-infringing corporate practices," EPIC said. The latest edition includes new analyses for the Middle East, Latin America and cyberspace as well, the watchdog group said.
The report is available for $75 on Amazon.com.
