Abstract
Executive summary 1. This submission responds to a key section of the inquiry from the perspective of information systems: the social study of information and communications technologies. It focuses on the role of technology when addressing Questions 1–3 on creating a good law There are, however, also implications for Questions 6 and 7 (on the role of technology). 2. For questions 1–3, the submission draws on research that questions the idea of technology–neutral laws1 and argues instead that technological issues should not be left for codes of practice, regulations and statutory instruments. This because apparently neutral technological decisions can, in fact, have a significant impact on the way a law is implemented and, as such, should be subject to proper, detailed scrutiny. In particular, these decisions can be such a key part of the proposed legislation that they should be subject to more scrutiny than codes of practice and statutory instruments typically receive.
