Computers, Personal Privacy and Human Choice,

Abstract

There is substantial concern in many countries of the Western world about the relation between the individual citizen and government or private data banks that use information about him for various purposes. It would appear that many legislative and administrative actions will occur in 1974-75 that will significantly redress the balance of power between citizen and data bank; the relationship between them will become more equitable and bilateral. In this matter of personal privacy, society now faces a truly central question of human choice as people collectively decide how they wish information about themselves to be controlled and used.
