Observation, Values, Effective Data Protection and Digital Accountability | The Information Accountability Foundation - IAF

- distinction between observation and surveillance loosely tracks Phil Agre's capture and surveillance

- IAF basically gives up on data collection regulation here, focusing on data use regulation (aka processing)

- emphasis on (bureaucratic) control is not seen often enough, aligns with processing focus, and implies what's often missing: discussion of the non-representational quality of much "personal" data as its being processed by an infrastructure of control
