News Series on Surveillance
This is an interesting series that appears in the Ottawa Citizen. I normally do not read this paper, but with the recent scare that we may actually see a bus on the road had meet perusing it. Speaking of Transit, I just got back from Toronto and think I will scrapbook my TTC transfers as it felt rather novel to be taking public transport rather than late night freezing cold 5km walks to work. I reminded fellow passengers of their good fortune, especially since Toronto is a tropically toasty climate compared to Ottawa! But I digress!
Here are the series of articles being published on surveillance in social media and in our cities:
- The surveillance society
- Part I: A very different world: Since 9/11 the use of close-circuit TV cameras has exploded
- Part II: Devil in the details: When it comes to social sorting, you are what you eat, buy, surf, post
- Part III: Social networking or social spying?
- We spy, ‘they’ spy, we all spy.
