- Patriot Act issues
- ECPA
- Trump Administration process
- AML/KYC/CDD and sanctions laws which often require privacy-intrusive collection and analysis of routine data and financial transactions
- New governmental agencies such as Homeland Security (and, less noted, the proliferation of new anti-terrorism state and even municipal anti-terrorism agencies)
- The “Whole-of-Government” approach to anti-terrorism and how that “model” bleeds into unrelated federal, state, and local government initiatives
- New approaches to cross-border data sharing (the Microsoft Ireland case comes to mind)
- How new industries and technologies were (and are still being) developed to assist with data collection and analytics in support of governmental objectives, but which also have commercial applications unrelated to terrorism prevention
- The acceptance and routinization of privacy-sensitive data collection (facial recognition, biometrics, door cameras, drones, etc.)
- The “Surveillance State” and the symbiosis (good and bad) between commercial data aggregators, businesses, and government as it relates to data
