Summary:
"Legal systems are normally, and quite rightly, measured in their response to challenges, and slow to change. It is difficult for citizens to cope with a legal system that changes regulation and control of civil society overnight - as evidenced by the rapid succession of public health orders that often have left enforcment scratching their heads. On the other hand, rapidly changing deployment of technologies and their intrusion into daily living has come at such a pace that timely policy and legal responses are required. This book is a collection of essays designed to provoke both thought and discussion. It is aimed at reaching those interested in how governments, corporations and civil society are managing the regulation of data in a technology-based society."--Cover page 4.
