Module 08 — Global Digital Privacy Awareness

🌍 1. Global Digital Freedom Overview

Around the world, states differ in how they regulate speech, access to information and surveillance. Some environments are relatively open; others impose tight controls on networks and platforms.

📜 2. Surveillance Powers (High Level)

• Data retention laws for telecoms and internet providers.
• Interception and monitoring powers with varying oversight.
• Cross-border data-sharing agreements.

📚 3. Case-Study Thinking

Rather than memorising specific laws per country, focus on questions:

• Who is likely to have access to which logs and metadata?
• What recourse exists if those powers are misused?
• How would a CommsBlack kit change the risk profile in a given example?
