  • The Memory Gap in Surveillance Law
    University of Chicago Law Review, 2008
    Co-Authors: Patricia L. Bellia
    Abstract:

    In March 2007, Google announced a change in its Data Retention Policy: that it would “anonymize” search Data in its server logs after eighteen to twenty-four months. 1 For many observers, the Policy change was more significant for the past practice it confirmed than for the future practice it heralded. The Policy change underscored that since it first launched its search service, Google had stored its users’ search queries, along with the search results on which the users clicked, indefinitely, and had done so in such a way that this Data could be tied to the particular computers from which the queries were made. 2

  • Policy discourse and Data Retention: The technology politics of surveillance in the United Kingdom
    Telecommunications Policy, 2005
    Co-Authors: Edgar A. Whitley, Ian Hosein
    Abstract:

    This article presents an analysis of UK legislation on the Retention of communications Data that was introduced in the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001. It presents a review of the discourses surrounding this legislation in parliament, in the wider international Policy arena, in business and in terms of technology. The review of these discourses demonstrates that, in understanding policies involving a significant technological component such as communications Data Retention, Policy alternatives may be evaluated only with an appreciation of technological characteristics alongside the traditional concerns of legislators, civil society and the business community. While academia has developed many forms of analysis for political, international, and regulatory discourses, the same must be undertaken for technological discourse, i.e. the interactions between the policies in question, the actors, and the technologies. Developing forms of analysis for technological discourses will likely lead to further understanding of both the Policy problem and the actors’ interests. The paper also shows how current institutions are slowly developing the necessary skills to incorporate the technological aspects of Policy into political debate, and calls for a similar development for the law.
