| Tiivistelmä: | Caller ID or CND (calling number display) is a internationally available telecommunication service first introduced into the United States about ten years ago. Caller ID utilizes a new form of technology which enable telephone subscribers to identify the numbers (and/or names) of callers before picking up their telephones. This service has been widely assailed as an invasion of the caller's right to anonymity, a right which allegedly subsists as an important component of the caller's right to privacy. However, if privacy is defined from the perspective of the British philosopher John Stuart Mill, it can be argued that, even though anonymity is in fact an implication of genuine privacy, placing an unsolicited telephone call does not constitute a private act. |
