ABSTRACT
One striking characteristic of privacy is how the environment in which people live determines their understanding of what privacy means. The impact of technology upon privacy in modernity became apparent with the introduction of mass circulation newspapers and photographs. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), 1948, set out an attempt to protect privacy as a distinct human right. Civil society groups such as Privacy International have tried to bring some order to this anarchic state of affairs. Cyber networks made it possible to violate privacy over great distances across multiple jurisdictions. New global connectivity offers enormous potential for data and privacy-related crime. There are two major aspects of the Internet and personal data that enable new types of privacy-related crime – technical developments and the business model of the Internet itself. Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) or drones are increasingly common and provide a range of services, including photography, land surveying, building inspection and crop analysis.
