I'm a legal researcher compiling a report on the impact of new public health surveillance technologies adopted during the pandemic on long-term civil liberties, specifically regarding data retention and algorithmic bias. The challenge is balancing legitimate public health goals with protections against mass surveillance creep. For other scholars or advocates in this space, what are the most effective legal or policy frameworks you've seen proposed to ensure these tools are sunsetted or brought under strict oversight? How do we address the normalization of tracking in public spaces, and what comparative examples from other countries offer viable models for safeguarding privacy without compromising future emergency response capabilities?
