Surveillance Reform
Surveillance reform refers to changes in laws and policies that govern how governments and organizations monitor individuals' activities. This movement aims to protect citizens' privacy rights and ensure that surveillance practices are transparent, accountable, and respectful of civil liberties. Advocates argue that current surveillance methods often infringe on personal freedoms and can lead to misuse of data.
Key aspects of surveillance reform include limiting the scope of data collection, requiring warrants for certain types of surveillance, and enhancing oversight mechanisms. Organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and various privacy advocacy groups play a significant role in promoting these reforms to safeguard individual rights in the digital age.
