- Title
Battling for the Rights to Privacy and Data Protection in the Irish Courts.
- Authors
Darcy, Shane
- Abstract
Far-reaching mass surveillance by the US National Security Agency and other national security services has brought issues of privacy and data protection to the fore in recent years. Information and technology companies have been embroiled in this scandal for having shared, unwittingly or otherwise, users' personal data with the security services. Facebook, the world's largest social media company, has long-been criticised by privacy advocates because of its treatment of users' data. Proceedings before the Irish courts concerning the role of national data protection authorities have seen an examination of these practices in light of relevant Irish and EU law.
