街道視圖點頭提示要求保密性監視人改革

星期五， 2009年4月24日

由克里斯・威廉斯 |

沮喪在幾年涉嫌的不妥協以前與怨言打交道關於保密性違犯的新技術，活動家要求政客調查和改革信息委員的Office (ICO)。

基於倫敦的施壓團體保密性國際(PI)認為ICO的反應這個星期對怨言關於Google街道視圖是最後的秸桿。

給街道觀看所有清楚在數據保護行動之下，管理者昨天認為：「在世界，許多人啾啾叫， Facebook和blog持常識態度對它也許導致的街道視圖和相對地有限的保密性闖入是重要的」。

PI尖銳批評了決定，要求它顯示了它有成為的「正式政策」在ICO不妨礙商業利益。當問題在它的法律地位和它面孔弄髒的技術的有效率被回答了時，小組要街道視圖暫停。

「手套現在是」， Davies說PI西蒙主任。「在十年不合格的怨言和破壞以後由核心數據保護原則那個辦公室，我們決定沒有進一步點在設法教育官員那裡」。

多年來小組給ICO寫關於全國脫氧核糖核酸數據庫、指紋識別在學校和自動化的車號牌公認。所有它的怨言被否決了或擱置。

「我們恐懼委員是滿意維護偶爾的安全惡習邊緣盒，當允許新技術時，并且技術切開一浩大的綁通過保密性」， PI認為。

PI不是單獨的在相信ICO無法它的責任。不採取任何行動在BT和互聯網攔截Phorm的秘密試驗和描出系統的去年管理者的決定這個月提示歐共體創始法律訴訟反對英國政府。布魯塞爾認為試驗是ePrivacy方針的突破口， ICO負責對強制執行。

PI認為管理者缺乏技術專門技術瞭解新技術的衝擊。它要求一個獨立顧問委員會迫切地建立。

Davies說：「信息委員清楚地決定實效主義和商業利益應該勝利在原則。這是清楚地負責對英國的駭人監視文化的一危險趨向和一個」。

The group is now taking advice from MPs and peers on what Parliamentary process could be used to reform the ICO. ®

Update

The ICO sent this response:

The ICO is independent of government, pressure groups and the public and private sectors. We are a balanced and robust organisation that takes a risk based approach to regulation in line with best regulatory practice.The ICO has led the debate on the surveillance society, cautioned consumers about the value of personal information and is a strong consistent voice on issues such as data security and the growth in government databases.

The ICO has successfully intervened to prevent proposed fingerprinting at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 and issued clear advice on the use of surveillance technology in schools.

We are responsible for enforcing the DPA and FOIA and it is important to recognise that sometimes wider civil liberties and privacy issues are not covered by Data Protection law. We understand that putting images on Google Streetview causes Privacy International concern, but our job is to enforce the law and we are very clear that Google is not breaching the Data Protection Act.

It is nice to see that the ICO believes it is very clear on the DPA.

Isn’t the ICO responsible for enforcing RIPA?
It is clear that they aren’t enforcing that very well either.

Quite right PI, the ICO is an inadequate brake on rapidly accelerating invasions rather than an entity that is taking all steps necessary to protect the individuals rights under the existing legislation.

And that’s more than just a resource issue, it’s a mind-set, and quite probably part of the brief on being appointed.
