Book excerpt: Concerns have been raised about the privacy and security of personal info. in light of advances in info. technology and the increasingly sophisticated ways in which the gov¿t. obtains and uses info. Fed. agencies¿ use of personal info. is governed by the Privacy Act of 1974 and the E-Gov¿t. Act of 2002. These laws are based on the Fair Info. Practices, a set of widely accepted principles for protecting privacy. This testimony is based on this report, and concerns the sufficiency of privacy protections afforded by existing laws. To do this, the author analyzed privacy laws and guidance, compared them with the Fair Info. Practices, and obtained perspectives from fed. agencies as well as an expert forum. Includes recommendations.

Book excerpt: An inside look at who's watching you, what they know and why it matters. We are being watched. We see online ads from websites we've visited, long after we've moved on to other interests. Our smartphones and cars transmit our location, enabling us to know what's in the neighborhood but also enabling others to track us. And the federal government, we recently learned, has been conducting a massive data-gathering surveillance operation across the Internet and on our phone lines. In Dragnet Nation, award-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin reports from the front lines of America's surveillance economy, offering a revelatory and unsettling look at how the government, private companies, and even criminals use technology to indiscriminately sweep up vast amounts of our personal data. In a world where we can be watched in our own homes, where we can no longer keep secrets, and where we can be impersonated, financially manipulated, or even placed in a police lineup, Angwin argues that the greatest long-term danger is that we start to internalize the surveillance and censor our words and thoughts, until we lose the very freedom that makes us unique individuals. Appalled at such a prospect, Angwin conducts a series of experiments to try to protect herself, ranging from quitting Google to carrying a "burner" phone, showing how difficult it is for an average citizen to resist the dragnets' reach. Her book is a cautionary tale for all of us, with profound implications for our values, our society, and our very selves.

Book excerpt: The centerpiece of the fed. gov¿t¿s. legal framework for privacy protection, The Privacy Act of 1974, provides safeguards for information maintained by fed. agencies. In addition, the E-Gov¿t. Act of 2002 requires fed. agencies to conduct privacy impact assessments for systems of collections containing personal information. This report determines whether laws and guidance consistently cover the fed. gov¿t¿s. collection and use of personal information and incorporates key privacy principles. This report identifies options for addressing these issues. To achieve these objectives, the author obtained an operational perspective from fed. agencies, and consulted an expert panel convened by the Nat. Acad. of Sciences. Includes recommendations. Illus.
