Surveillance without borders

Two themes are emerging at the beginning of 2021, writes Wendy Grossman. First, "traditional ideas about consent simply do not work in a world where technology monitors and mediates our physical movements." And second, "the need for enforcement." And there's a third issue: "access to tools." And maybe a fourth: internationalization. As Sophie in't Veld said, "There is little incentive for national authorities to apply safeguards to citizens from other countries." I don't see any of these being solved in the short term, particularly when there's so much money to be made by not solving them.
