【 摘 要 】

Critics of data surveillance by government and businesses have used a legal strategy based on privacy, but have thus far been unsuccessful. This article suggests that civil libertarians should consider raising the specter of unfair data discrimination in legal arguments to roll back data surveillance, and they may find support from statutory and judicial precedents in which the American government fought to protect citizens from older types of discrimination. This may in turn support arguments that America is traditionally opposed to discrimination, and should be opposed to modern discrimination caused by data surveillance practices.
