The case of Dennis highlights what is increasingly becoming the world's - not just America's - crisis of confidence in confidentiality, the inability of either business or government to control the collection and trafficking in the most intimate information about individuals. As Scott McNealy, chief executive of the giant Sun Microsystems, declared arrogantly earlier this year: "You have zero privacy. Get over it." The process has been accelerated by the explosive growth of commerce on the Internet - worldwide, it is expected to reach $US45 billion ($70 billion) next year - where national boundaries have been described as not even speed bumps on the information superhighway. But it is by no means confined to cyberspace. Walk around any big Western city and you are under continual surveillance by thousands of private and publicly owned video cameras - in the shops, on the trains, on the streets, at the football, even when you ride in a taxi. Installing them is a $50 million-a-year industry in Sydney alone. And for those who believe in privacy safeguards, check an Internet clip called Slowcricket in which a security camera captures a couple enjoying what they thought was unobserved sex in an otherwise deserted section of a sports stadium. Telephone your stockbroker, Telstra, the National Australia Bank or any number of help lines and you will be told your conversation may be recorded. Told, not asked. You won't be told if yours is one of more than 1,000 Australian phones that law enforcement agencies tapped by warrant last year, let alone if your calls are among the millions monitored by satellite with no safeguards at all under international security arrangements, such as the Australia-US-UK Echelon program. Fill in a warranty card, subscribe to a magazine, get a dog licence - these are just a few of thousands of transactions that can lead to information about you being sold, pooled and computer cross-matched without your knowledge or consent so that you can be targeted by direct marketing organisations using mail, telephone or e-mail. Want 1,000 names of ethnic Greek trail-bike riders who buy oversize designer clothes and believe in astrology? Not a problem. ..
