Section 8.1 lists sources that examine some of the philosophical assumptions and foundations underlying individual or personal privacy and that consider ways in which personal privacy is threatened by computers and information technology. Works that examine court cases and recent privacy legislation as well as national and international efforts to regulate the transfer of personal data are cited in Section 8.2. Section 8.3 lists sources that address public concern over privacy issues related to the use of computer databases in the commercial sector. In particular, issues regarding the accuracy of, access to, and the sale of personal information are considered in the entries listed in this section. Section 8.4 identifies sources that approach the issue of privacy and computers from the point of view of government attempts at social control. Sources that focus on issues of computerized record matching, electronic surveillance, and encryption technologies are identified in this section.
