Surveillance Ethics

Surveillance ethics examines the moral implications of monitoring individuals or groups, often through technology. It involves balancing safety and security with personal privacy and autonomy. Key concerns include informed consent, the potential for misuse of data, transparency about surveillance practices, and the impact on society, such as trust erosion and discrimination. Ethical surveillance aims to respect individual rights while weighing public interest, ensuring that monitoring measures are justified, proportional, and accountable, thereby fostering a society where both safety and individual freedoms are valued.
