In 2006, the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom contracted with the Surveillance Studies Network to produce “A Report on the Surveillance Society,” which was presented at the 28th International Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners' Conference in London.[7][8][9] The report received international media attention and led to several parliamentary investigations into surveillance in the UK.[10][11] In 2010, SSN updated the report, which was presented to Parliament by the UK Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham.[12][13]
