Data Privacy
The United States is at risk of turning into a full-fledged
surveillance society. The tremendous explosion in surveillance-enabling
technologies, combined with the ongoing weakening in legal restraints
that protect our privacy mean that we are drifting toward a surveillance
society.
In the last biennial budget Wisconsin state agencies requested over $70
million in General Purpose Revenue (GPR) for various Information Technology
(IT) projects. Given such a strong commitment to state-of-the-art telecommunications
and digital technologies, it is critical to understand how information
contained in state databases is being integrated, cross-tabulated, networked
and shared.
