US Near Bottom of Global Privacy Index

By JILL LAWLESS

LONDON (AP) — Individual privacy is under threat around the world as
governments continue introducing surveillance and information-
gathering measures, according to an international rights group.

"The general trend is that privacy is being extinguished in country
after country," said Simon Davies, director of London-based Privacy
International, which released a study on the issue Saturday. "Even
those countries where we expected ongoing strong privacy protection,
like Germany and Canada, are sinking into the mire."

Although privacy was improving in the former communist states of
eastern Europe, it is worsening across Western Europe, the report
said. Concerns about terrorism, immigration, and border security were
driving the spread of identity and fingerprinting systems, according
to the report.

Greece, Romania, and Canada had the best records of 47 countries
Privacy International surveyed.

Malaysia, Russia, and China ranked worst, but Great Britain and the
United States also fell into the lowest-performing group of "endemic
surveillance societies."

The survey considered such factors as legal protections, enforcement,
data sharing, the use of biometrics, and prevalence of closed-circuit
cameras.

U.S. President George W. Bush's administration has come under fire
for monitoring — without warrants — international phone calls and e-
mails involving people suspected of having terrorist links.

Davies said little had changed since Democrats took control of
Congress a year ago.

Britain was criticized for its plans for national identity cards, a
lack of government accountability, and the world's largest network of
surveillance cameras.
