Have We Already Lost the Right to Geo-Location Privacy?
August 2010

When does the use of technology become so prevalent that one no longer has an expectation of reasonable privacy? Is it already too late in the US to assume that an individual has a right to location privacy? What jurisdictions have carved out that right for its individuals? What jurisdictions have not? What is the tipping point where there is no turning back and the loss of privacy becomes permanent and individual rights vanish?
Theodore “Ted” F. Claypoole of Womble Carlyle discusses the factors that might lead one to conclude that we or many may not have reached that tipping point. He invites us to form our own opinion. Topics of interest in this interview include:
- Risks and benefits of geo-location privacy
- Importance of geo-location
- Jurisdictions where geo-location is solidly protected
