In spring and summer 2014 we deployed a survey and follow-up interviews in Spain and Japan asking students about their attitudes to the revelataions by Edward Snowden of the government surveillance activities of the US' NSA, the UK's GCHQ and similar agencies in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We presented the results of this initial survey at the Asian Privacy Scholars Network 4th International Conference (which we hosted). In July 2014 we hosted the Asian Privacy Scholars Network 4th International Conference. 20 Researchers from Japan, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, the UK, New Zealand, Spain, Belgium and Canada gave presentations on their work in privacy in law, philosophy, social science, computer science and business studies. A further 31 researchers from the same countries and from Thailand and the US attended the conference. Following the conference, we hosted a meeting of the Japanese and International research partners on the project. During two days of discussions we generated many new ideas for research directions, and in particular specified the main ideas for the follow-up grant project (now funded by JSPS). In autumn and winter 2014-15 we deployed a revised and expanded survey on the Snowden revelations in Spain, Japan, the PRC, Taiwan, Mexico, Germany and Sweden. The results of these individual country surveys as well as an international comparison, have been accepted for presentation as a track of papers for the international Ethicomp conference 2015 to be held in Leicester, UK, in September 2015.
