Protecting Civil Liberties During a Public Health Crisis
EFF has long advocated against digital surveillance by government and corporations of our movements, health, and personal relationships, and against big data systems that can turn our lives into open books...
Some use of big data may now be warranted as public health officials work to contain COVID-19. But it must be medically necessary, as determined by public health experts;
any new processing of personal data must be proportionate to the actual need;
people must not be scrutinized because of their nationality or other demographic factors;
and any new government powers must expire when the disease is contained.
