Abstract

The guest editors discuss data surveillance. Proponents hope that data surveillance technology will be able to anticipate and prevent terrorist attacks, detect disease outbreaks, and allow for detailed social science research--all without the corresponding risks to personal privacy because machines, not people, perform the surveillance.
