The third annual survey on e-government, The New e-Government Equation: Ease, Engagement, Privacy and Protection, conducted on behalf of the non-partisan Council for Excellence in Government, indicates that Americans are pleased with improvements in e-gov services, but are also deeply concerned about data privacy issues associated with the collection and dissemination of personal data by the government. See the Council’s press release from this afternoon here. For your information, here is a link to last year’s survey, E-Government to Connect, Protect, and Serve Us.
