[ecrea] Digital Rights in Australia report

Colleagues may be interested in a report released today: /Digital Rights 
in Australia/: https://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/17587.

At a time when social media technologies are increasingly redefining 
aspects of our professional and personal lives, /Digital Rights In 
Australia/ investigates the ethical and legal challenges Australians 
face in using digital, networked technologies and the debates they are 
having about how to best manage their transformative impacts.


Drawing on a national survey of 1600 Australians, focus group discussion 
and policy, law and regulatory analysis, the /Digital Rights in 
Australia/ report covers rights issues in four areas: privacy, profiling 
and analytics; government data matching and surveillance; workplace 
change; and freedom of expression and speech regulation.

Crucially it also looks at the major role of private, transnational 
digital platforms in reshaping the way people work, study and conduct 
business, their interactions with government and with each other.

The research was conducted by Gerard Goggin, Ariadne Vromen, Kimberlee 
Weatherall, Fiona Martin, Adele Webb, Lucy Sunman and Francesco Bailo at 
the University of Sydney, and is a major outcome of the University’s 
Sydney Research Excellence Initiative (SREI). For more information about
