Privacy Implications of Government Data Mining Programs Examined in New Law Review Article

Steinbock, Daniel J., Data Matching, Data Mining, and Due Process, Georgia Law Review, Forthcoming.

  • “This Article concerns governmental actions based upon computerized data matching (comparison of records) and data mining (profiling). Over 50 federal agencies are using or planning to use data matching and data mining, in a total of 199 programs, some of which are aimed at locating potential terrorists. The most striking aspect of virtually all anti-terrorist data matching and data mining decisions is the absence of even the most rudimentary procedures for notice, hearing, or other opportunities for meaningful participation.”
