On December 4,
2000, Privacy International presented the 3rd
annual "Big Brother" awards to the government and
private sector organizations which have done the
most to invade personal privacy in the United
Kingdom.
The "Orwell"
statutes were presented to the government agencies,
companies and initiatives which have done most to
invade personal privacy. A "Lifetime Menace" award
was also presented.
"Winston" awards
were given to individuals and organisations which
have made an outstanding contribution to the
protection of privacy, as well as to people who
have been victims of privacy invasion.
The winners of
the awards were selected by a judging
panel
made up of lawyers, academics, consultants,
journalists and civil rights activists based on
nominees made by the public and
experts.
