“…The WPR approach has been applied to related areas including to e-Government policies (Sundberg, 2019), automation in policy discourse (Germundsson, 2022), the digital citizen in educational imaginaries (Rahm, 2019), the use of data analytics to identify families for service intervention (Edwards et al, 2021), problem representations of risk in the GDPR (Padden & Öjehag-Pettersson, 2021) and to identify discriminatory effects in the GDPR's representation of biometric data (Bisztray et al, 2021). Through the identification of "problem representations", the WPR approach can help to identify both explicit and implicit assumptions which determine who and what is included, or excluded, by a particular policy proposal.…”

In democratic states, mass surveillance is typically associated with totalitarianism. Surveillance practices more limited in their scope draw criticism for their potential to undermine democratic rights and freedoms and the functioning of representative democracies. Despite this, citizens living in political systems classed as democratic are increasingly subject to surveillance practices by both businesses and governments. This paper presents the results of a genealogy of OECD digitalisation discourse from the 1970s to the present to show how both harms and benefits of surveillance practices have been problematised. It shows how practices once considered unacceptable are increasingly portrayed as neutral, or even positive. A shift is identified from general agreement over the incompatibility of surveillance practices with democracy to greater acceptance of those practices when rebranded as tools to promote customisation, economic growth or public health. This transformation is significant because it: (1) shows the inherent instability of policies anchored to seemingly fixed or self-evident concepts such as 'well-being' or 'public interest'; (2) highlights the fragility of democratic systems when things deemed harmful to their operation can be repurposed and subsequently permitted; and (3) highlights the contingency of (seemingly inevitable) surveillance practices, thereby opening up a space in which to challenge them.

“…The unauthorized use of a person's physiological information by an insurance provider, captured in this manner, may put a person's insurance coverage. Furthermore, privacy risk exists for processing operations classifying individuals based on soft traits like facial expressions may also impact personal freedoms and human rights [8]. A system can be designed to protect a person's digital presence by preserving the person's privacy.…”

A person's privacy has become a growing concern, given the nature of an expansive reliance on real-time video activities with video capture, stream, and storage. This paper presents an innovative system design based on a privacy-preserving model. The proposed system design is implemented by employing an enhanced capability that overcomes today's single parameterbased access control protection mechanism for digital privacy preservation. The enhanced capability combines multiple access control parameters: facial expression, resource, environment, location, and time. The proposed system design demonstrated that a person's facial expressions combined with a set of access control rules can achieve a person's privacy-preserving preferences. The findings resulted in different facial expressions successfully triggering a person's face to be blurred and a person's privacy when using a real-time video conferencing service captured from a webcam or virtual webcam. A comparison analysis of capabilities between existing designs and the proposed system design shows enhancement of the capabilities of the proposed system. A series of experiments exercising the enhanced, real-time multi-parameterbased system was shown as a viable path forward for preserving a person's privacy while using a webcam or virtual webcam to capture, stream, and store videos.
