Most activities in contemporary information society leave digital footprints that together might reveal stories about people and their lives.  Many governments and corporations collect, analyze, and disseminate these digital footprints to gain insights into the behavior and affairs of its citizens and costumers.  Sometimes this creates a tension between the watched and watchers.  It can create tensions between the desire to gather and use private data and the wish to remain private.  Between the nature of public and private.  This course explores conceptual, theoretical, ethical, and practical consequences of the rise of the surveillance society and the changed state of privacy.  The course introduces students to key concepts and frameworks that allow them to analyze and interpret surveillance and privacy situations and actions - including their ethical implications -  in a rigorouss manner and from an ethical perspective.  Students will be given opportunities to pursue their own interest in the area, e.g. privacy issues with Facebook, Google, big data, social media, data ethics, intelligence ethics, AI and robots, tracking and profiling, privacy by design, GDPR, etc.  Students will after completing the course be prepared to engage in the formulation of information and privacy policies and practices.
