Project Abstract

The world of surveillance and privacy raises many questions that are not easily answered. This is doubly so when we consider different cultural perceptions. This proposal outlines an exploration of the cultural variations in attitudes towards surveillance and privacy. Considering their implications on a wider scale. The main objectives of this work are: 1. To compare differences in perception of surveillance and privacy between the Western world and the Eastern. 2. To analyse the influence of globalisation and the transfer and use of data by foreign or domestic corporations and their governments. 3. To identify how our data has been abused and how we can mitigate that in the future. I will collect a wide range of secondary data. I will then select it and ?��clean it?�� considering the validity and reliability of the data. Then process it and use it to conclude. In conclusion, this research has investigated the history of Cambridge Analytica showing successor companies have likely filled the void left by its liquidation. This proposal has shown research into the surveillance apparatus of the CCP both the Great Firewall of China and Skynet. Through this examination and my overview of some related work, I have shown there is a gap in the literature that I can rectify.
