The Constitution Project has released an integral report about government data mining. In such an advanced technological age where the sharing of information is as easy for everyday citizens as it is for government officials, this report outlines necessary guidelines for what kind of information can be obtained and how.
The report, called “Principles for Government Data Mining: Preserving Civil Liberties in the Information Age,”
…reﬂects the belief that effective data mining reform requires a commitment to the rule of law and respect for constitutional rights. This publication contains three parts. The ﬁrst is a discussion of what data mining is, what its purposes are, and the current legal status of data mining. The second part outlines broad principles that should inform future government regulation of data mining. The ﬁnal part makes speciﬁc recommendations to the government to reform data mining and ensure that such programs can both be effective and at the same time protect individual constitutional rights. In particular, the recommendations cover the need for transparency and notice; accountability, oversight, and redress; and data integrity and security when the government is conducting data mining operations.
