Privacy International will be hosting the annual UK Big Brother Awards in London on July 28, 2004. The international lobby group always produces a very interesting list of initiatives and incidents, all of which should not be missed. Prizes are being awarded for the "Most Invasive Company" and "Most Appalling Project", among others. (Thanks to Slasdot and the Register for the link):
