New surveillance, new penology and new resistance: towards the criminalisation of resistance?

After having illustrated the main differences between old and new surveillance, this contribution focuses on resistance to surveillance highlighting how it operates in today's surveillance societies. In particular, it analyses how resistance is developing into new forms and patterns which might turn resistance into criminalisation. This circumstance is examined taking into account the "Facebook case".
