This paper reports some initial findings of the Nordforsk funded «Eyes Online» project that aims to elicit how the legal systems of the UK, Norway, Sweden and Finland have reacted to advances in surveillance technologies and capabilities. Focus of the analysis is the concept of «border», not just as a demarcation between jurisdictions or nations, but as an ordering principle of the law that can be challenged, transformed and subverted through technology.
