2 results about "Targeted surveillance" patented technology

Targeted surveillance (or targeted interception) is a form of surveillance, such as wiretapping, that is directed specific persons of interest, and is distinguishable from mass surveillance (or bulk interception). Untargeted surveillance is routinely accused of treating innocent people as suspects in ways that are unfair, of violating human rights, international treaties and conventions as well as national laws, and of failing to pursue security effectively.
