Who needs stories if you can get the data?
ISPs in the era of big number crunching
Mireille Hildebrandt
pp. 371-390
In this article, I will investigate to what extent democracy and the Rule of Law require that ISPs as "common carriers' that provide "mere conduit" pre-empt extensive monitoring of the content they carry. I will trace this duty as a moral duty that is bound up with the framework of constitutional democracy, arguing that such monitoring affords unprecedented data-mining operations that could stifle our account of ourselves as moral agents in the novel infosphere.
