Identification as the enabler of ID-based surveillance and control

Edward Hasbrouck of the Identity Project was a guest today with Prof. David Farber (Keio Univ. Cyber Civilization Research Center) and Prof. Dan Gillmor (Arizona State Univ.) for the CCRC / IP-ASIA weekly online gathering on current issues, discussing the expansion of demands for ID, identification as a service provided by the government to commercial entities, the evolution of ID-based surveillance and control, and the human rights work of the Identity Project:

  • How do demands for ID enable ID-based surveillance and ID-based control of offline and online activities, including predictive “pre-crime” controls?
  • When are we required to identify ourselves ourselves or submit to automated identification?
  • How is this changing?
  • What can we do about it?
