Hands up those who have a nosy little camera in their mobile phones. More than half, I bet. Not only that but every second citizen is scrambling to get their mug and personal details onto Facebook or YouTube or MySpace or Bebo or any of the burgeoning manifestations of “social networking”.Further, the state and other agencies spy on you every day of the week with countless CCTV cameras in public and not so public places.And “celebrities”, or those who are famous for being famous, have developed a unique capacity to commercialise their images for private gain. In such a world how is it possible to have a “reasonable expectation” of privacy?
