The attached extract from The London Review of Books makes some nice
observations which can be easily equated to privacy/surveillance issues
and many of the legal difficulties being experienced.

Many years ago I suspected that white collar crime would increase in
the years ahead as bad manners became more anti-social and anti-social
became criminal, I do not know if any measuring of those factors was
commenced at that time, but many debates and movements since then have
substantiated that perception. This paper is raising very similar
issues and so could be of interest to many. It contains some good
examples of social aspects of privacy in action in the everyday world.
