Reconciling Privacy Rights With Digital Investigations: Legal-Ethical Challenges in Cyber Forensics
Abstract
The advancement of cyber forensics—through AI-driven profiling, metadata analysis, and real-time surveillance—has enhanced digital investigations but raised significant legal and ethical concerns. This chapter explores the growing tension between state surveillance and individual privacy, focusing on the Indian legal framework, including the Justice K.S. Puttaswamy decision, and comparing it with global standards such as the GDPR, ECHR, and Budapest Convention. Key issues addressed include algorithmic bias, lack of consent, cross-border data sharing, and misuse of forensic tools against vulnerable groups. The chapter argues for a balanced, rights-based framework grounded in privacy-by-design, proportionality, and judicial oversight. It offers policy recommendations to ensure cyber forensic practices remain effective while upholding constitutional protections and international human rights norms.
