Parts of this list (mainly surveillance and identity) are addressed by the
Dynamic Coalition on Privacy, but not to the full extent discussed in this
thread (yet?). Our work is more geared towards - in the long run -
globally applicable principles and organizational structures for internet
privacy protection. But part of the privacy problems stems from the fact
that privacy infringements are not a (cyber)crime or not even a
(cyber)offence in many countries yet, including the U.S.

By the way, according to what I have read, cybercrime investigations on
average are more successful that offline crime investigations. Can't find
the source right now, and surely, these statistics have to be handled with
care. But it indicates that on the internet, you are more traceable than
offline, contrary to public belief.

Best, Ralf
