What privacy issues do camera phones raise?
On one hand, you could say that camera phones (mobile phones with in-built digital camera technology) don’t raise any new privacy issues – they raise the same issues as any small camera. Camera phones are simply an example of applying a new technology to an existing privacy problem : the problem of taking and publishing photographs without consent. On the other hand, because of their dual use and the ubiquity of mobile phones in Australian society, camera phones may increase the likelihood of photography which is intrusive or otherwise an invasion of privacy.
