dc.description.abstractThe tension between mass surveillance and the right to privacy has become increasingly complex as communication technologies extend to every aspect of daily human life. This research paper investigates the implications of mass surveillance of communications through device management systems and the individual's right to privacy. An interdisciplinary approach incorporating legal, ethical, technological and social dimensions is employed to provide a holistic understanding of the phenomenon. It examines the mechanism by which the device management systems facilitate mass surveillance focusing on their capabilities, limitations and potential abuses. The paper also delves into the legal framework governing mass surveillance practices and their alignment and tensions between national security interests, individual privacy and law enforcement objectives. Ethical considerations surrounding mass surveillance are examined, seeking to uncover the moral dilemmas inherent in communication surveillance practices. The research also delves into the societal impacts of mass surveillance including its effects on social cohesion and the exercise of fundamental rights. It investigates the public perception of surveillance practices and the trade-offs between privacy and of national and government interests. This paper contributes to the scholarly dialogue on mass surveillance and individual privacy by offering insights into the implications of surveillance activities through device management systems. It aims to inform policymakers and the general public about the complexities inherent in mass surveillance practices and the imperative of safeguarding the right to privacy in the digital age.
