Watching v. Surveillance: Who, Where, How

Various parties watch/surveil various types of online (and offline) activity at various points for various reasons. In this session, we will at a few differnt sorts of online watching/surveillance and ask: What sorts of axes can we use to draw a line between surveillance and merely watching? Can we classify some forms of watching/surveillance as good and others as bad? Can we enable the good forms of watching/surveillance without necessarily also allowing the bad?

Proposed demos:

  • Spouse snooping tool
  • Spamming botnet
  • Network antivirus tool
  • Google adwords api
