• Describing the social and economic costs of surveillance is entering a largely unknown territory with soft ground and quickly changing landscape. First, surveillance itself is changing, and sometimes hides its face. Technical progress in information technologies in general is not only increasing the capabilities of surveillance technologies, but is also transforming practically all kinds of information technologies and services into devices and applications which, as a by-product, can be used to extend surveillance to spheres that were completely private a few decades ago. The different forms of surveillance, the intensity and intrusiveness, the outreach and the range, the duration and permanence, the context in which surveillance is applied, are but a few of the many factors influencing the costs of surveillance.
