How Government Surveillance Influences Online Self-Censorship by Maxtone 1 Lyrics
How does government Internet surveillance affect behaviour? How does Internet surveillance affect society and how can it be avoided?
Does Online Surveillance Influence Behavior?
To answer the question 'how does online surveillance influence behaviour?' we must first ask whether surveillance influences behaviour at all. Does watching someone affect the way they respond? Without being a scientist educated in such matters, I would have to say yes, but it depends on the circumstances. Someone who does not know he is being watched may not act any differently than he would under normal circumstances; whereas someone who is aware of the watch may change his behavior. Think about it, a vigilante criminal will not commit crimes while being watched. They are going to put on a show, act as if nothing is happening, and do everything possible to hide criminal activity behind a smokescreen
