“Resilience” is a contested term with varying and ambiguous meaning in governmental, business, and social discourses. Surveillance is increasingly relied on as an instrument for resilience, enhancing the capability of anticipating, preventing, or recovering from adversity, thus preserving the fabric of society and the state. However, surveillance i...

Ez a tanulmány a biztonság és a magánélet sokrétegű, sokszempontú viszonyát elemzi, közelebbről a közöttük fennálló feltételezett alku-helyzet érvényességét és meghaladási lehetőségeit. A tanulmány két nagy egységre tagolódik és két részben jelenik meg, két együttműködő tudományos folyóirat egy időben megjelenő, tematikusan összehangolt lapszámaiba...

2017 januárjában tízéves jubileumához érkezett a CPDP, a számítógépek, a magánélet és az adatvédelem kapcsolatának talán legnagyobb és legjelentősebb, évente megrendezett nemzetközi konferenciája, amely magát „multistakeholder platform”-nak, vagyis olyan rendezvénynek határozza meg, ahol a témában bármilyen oldalról érdekelt, esetenként ellentétes...

The ability of data protection authorities (DPAs) to gain and deploy sufficient knowledge of new technological developments in their regulation of personal-information practices is an important consideration now and for the future. However, DPAs' capacity to keep abreast of these developments has been questionable, and improvements in this are a ma...

This chapter outlines the experiences of attempting to exercise one’s right of access in Hungary. Using rich, ethnographic examples, this chapter tests how easy or difficult it is for a data subject based in Hungary to obtain their personal data, firstly by locating the required information about organisations and their data controllers and secondl...

The new democracies of Central and Eastern Europe had to implement not only the new rights and the underlying principles of the Western world but their enforcement mechanisms, too. Among the new rights and liberties, informational rights, including privacy and data protection, played a prominent role in the change of the political regime in these c...

Surveillance is often used as a tool in resilience strategies towards the threat posed by terrorist attacks and other serious crime. “Resilience” is a contested term with varying and ambiguous meaning in governmental, business and social discourses, and it is not clear how it relates to other terms that characterise processes or states of being. Re...

The aim of this article1 is to make suggestions that could empower different socio-political groups to question surveillance. It does so by formulating sets of questions that different stakeholders can ask of themselves, of the private sector and of government, including intelligence agencies. It is divided into three main parts. The first part pro...

In the multi-millennial history of archives four successive paradigms can be distinguished. In the archival systems that can be designated respectively as entitlement-attestation, national, public, and global ones, their primary or new objectives, key institutions, specialists and target audience as well as applied information technologies and char...

The variety of memory-preserving techniques (repetitive actions, verbal repetition, writing, visual representation, and so on), along with the rites and places put in the service of drill exercises, have produced, in the course of history, the institutional forms of memory preservation, more specifically those institutions in the modern sense, whic...

The so-called "Right to Be Forgotten or Erasure" (RTBF), article 17 of the proposed General Data Protection Regulation, provides individuals with a means to oppose the often persistent digital memory of the Web. Because digital information technologies affect the accessibility of information over time and time plays a fundamental role in biological...

The present paper surveys the prospects and possibilities of regulating the application areas of Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) – or in a broader sense, of influencing the future way of life – at the intersection of law, technology and society. It dissects the anticipated further erosion of personal privacy – the focus area of the essay – c...

Amalgamating the languages of scientific and literary approaches, this essay is meant to establish a common thread that runs through the separate topics of data protection literature—a leitmotif centered on the issues of remembering and forgetting, if you will.

Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to provide an overview of the legal implications which may be relevant to the ethical aspects of emerging technologies, to explore the existing situation in the area of legal regulation at EU level, and to formulate recommendations for the lawmakers. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on the p...

With an information-centered approach, four successive paradigms can be distinguished in the multi-millennial history of archives. Alongside enduring elements of continuity, new key features, functions and impacts appear, which fundamentally change the role and ideology of archives. In the archival systems designated as entitlement-attestation, nat...

Behind the anomalies currently besetting the notion of privacy — anomalies that arise from different cultural, political and social milieus both at the group and at the individual level — there lies a common conceptual element: individuals and small communities carry an increasing weight vis–à–vis the external world. This conceptual element is refl...

With an information-centered approach, four successive paradigms can be distinguished in the multi-millenial history of archives. Alongside enduring elements of continuity, new key features, functions and impacts appear, which together fundamentally change the actual role and ideology of archives. In the archival systems that can be designated resp...
