Gautam Bhatia analyses the first case in which the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to privacy, Gobind v.

This, he argues, should lead us as concerned citizens to demand a scaling down of the government's surveillance powers and pass laws to put it place more robust oversight mechanisms.

It is time to incorporate free software principles to address the issue of privacy.
