Governments have long sought access to private enterprise data, but there's a new voraciousness for such data. Furthermore, this demand is supported by the extraordinary growth of digital technologies that can record, store, and share electronically individuals' records, communications, movements, finances, relationships, and even tastes. Fortunately, best practices for accessing such data have emerged, which lawmakers around the world would do well to consider.
