Is new technology increasing or decreasing privacy? 


== The arguments for DECREASING ==
New technology promotes or enables:

* Intentional spying
* Concentration of data in large centralized databases
** This is a security risk
** And allows the database owner to correlate different sources of information about an individual, allowing one to get a much more detailed picture of them than was previously feasible
* Connection of databases over the Internet or telephone lines (security risk)
* More skilled hackers and spies.
