Why Privacy Matters
Oxford UP, 2021
Sobre o que é?
Privacy isn’t dead, but it’s under threat, given the immense social power of personal information.
Recommendation
Asserting that “privacy is dead” is popular, but it overstates the reality. Today’s computerized world generates digital data about each person, and corporations and governments widely collect, analyze and use it. Even so, people care about their privacy and often manage to keep many facets of their individual lives private. Author Neil Richards, a privacy law professor, explores how society could control and regulate the way various parties obtain, retain and disseminate personal information, and whether there is a correct path – given, as the professor explains, that privacy is ultimately about power.
