The Changing Landscape of Privacy Laws in the Age of Big Data and Surveillance

Abstract

In today's digital age, characterized by the pervasive utilization of big data and surveillance technologies, the protection of individual privacy has become a paramount concern. This research paper examines the evolving dynamics of privacy laws in response to the challenges posed by the exponential growth of data and the omnipresence of surveillance mechanisms. By delving into the historical development of privacy laws, analysing the impact of big data and surveillance, and evaluating current privacy regulations, this study aims to elucidate the changing landscape of privacy protection and explore potential avenues for safeguarding individual rights in this new era.
