Data are also being deliberately recorded about us by
governments, banks and other institutions using technologies
such as CCTV, ATMs and phone logging. In the UK, CCTV often
generates recorded ‘feeds’ of conversations and actions, as well
as logging exactly where these conversations and actions took
place. Some workplaces have meeting rooms that capture the
content of and activities around discussions held within them.
Many public debates are recorded for posterity by editorialising
CCTV: in the UK, the Houses of Parliament are captured on
behalf of the nation by the BBC, for example. Most people’s
financial transactions are logged too, each time a credit card
is used. International phone calls from the US are routinely
tapped and analysed for suspicious ‘terrorist’ topics (with
advanced word-recognition software allowing interrogators to
locate possible conversational threads which are then focused
on more attentively).
