摘要

Oversight and public debate about access to personal data are crucial to preserving privacy. Access to phone records is all over the news at the moment, following media revelations of massive snooping by US intelligence agencies. Collecting phone records is in itself nothing new, and is legitimate — scientists have long done so for research. What is unprecedented is the government weaving together multiple huge data sets for secret state surveillance. When researchers obtain electronic records of millions of people's calls for social science — including data on who called whom, when and from where, but not actual conversations — they must first make a strong case for why they need that information, and must comply with multiple layers of oversight and safeguards such as anonymization of numbers. The same goes for research use of health records or any other private personal data. And there is a good reason: to protect privacy. Privacy concerns are at the heart of the uproar over how the US National Security Agency (NSA) has secretly required telephone companies to hand over similar phone records on almost every US resident. The US government is also vacuuming up billions of e-mails and other Internet communications from traffic outside the United States — all in the name of law enforcement and the war on terror.
