Book Description
This book provides a unique evolutionary perspective on the privacy debate by examining how technological advances enabled, and subsequently are eroding, a societal expectation of privacy in contemporary American society. The book is organised around Westins four facets of privacy -- solitude, intimacy, anonymity, and reserve. In separate chapters, it examines the evolution of each facet from Colonial times through modern day. This work views privacy not as a sacred societal right guaranteed by the founding fathers, but as an accidental by-product of industrialisation, dependent upon particular environmental conditions for its survival. Because privacy is a societal issue, this book will appeal to a wide audience, including the general public. It will be of particular interest to computer professionals, legal scholars, libertarians, policy makers and any others who have an interest in the privacy debate. This book forces readers to examine privacy from a generalist perspective.The current privacy debate is fragmented -- computer professionals focus on the implications of particular innovations; libertarians debate the boundaries of privacy; business managers ponder the commercial and employment implications of privacy policy; and legal scholars discuss the viability and enforceability of current or proposed legislation. This book uniquely enables a broader perspective on privacy that facilitates a common understanding of the issue. PPP will be a cover-to-cover read, but not one that is subsequently placed on a shelf and never again referenced. PPP will be the go to book to enable debate and research on the evolution of privacy.

Privacy Online
Author: Sabine Trepte
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642215211
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Communications and personal information that are posted online are usually accessible to a vast number of people. Yet when personal data exist online, they may be searched, reproduced and mined by advertisers, merchants, service providers or even stalkers. Many users know what may happen to their information, while at the same time they act as though their data are private or intimate. They expect their privacy will not be infringed while they willingly share personal information with the world via social network sites, blogs, and in online communities. The chapters collected by Trepte and Reinecke address questions arising from this disparity that has often been referred to as the privacy paradox. Works by renowned researchers from various disciplines including psychology, communication, sociology, and information science, offer new theoretical models on the functioning of online intimacy and public accessibility, and propose novel ideas on the how and why of online privacy. The contributing authors offer intriguing solutions for some of the most pressing issues and problems in the field of online privacy. They investigate how users abandon privacy to enhance social capital and to generate different kinds of benefits. They argue that trust and authenticity characterize the uses of social network sites. They explore how privacy needs affect users’ virtual identities. Ethical issues of privacy online are discussed as well as its gratifications and users’ concerns. The contributors of this volume focus on the privacy needs and behaviors of a variety of different groups of social media users such as young adults, older users, and genders. They also examine privacy in the context of particular online services such as social network sites, mobile internet access, online journalism, blogs, and micro-blogs. In sum, this book offers researchers and students working on issues related to internet communication not only a thorough and up-to-date treatment of online privacy and the social web. It also presents a glimpse of the future by exploring emergent issues concerning new technological applications and by suggesting theory-based research agendas that can guide inquiry beyond the current forms of social technologies.

Understanding Cybersecurity Law and Digital Privacy
Author: Melissa Lukings
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030887049
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Cybersecurity, data privacy law, and the related legal implications overlap into a relevant and developing area in the legal field. However, many legal practitioners lack the foundational understanding of computer processes which are fundamental for applying existing and developing legal structures to the issue of cybersecurity and data privacy. At the same time, those who work and research in cybersecurity are often unprepared and unaware of the nuances of legal application. This book translates the fundamental building blocks of data privacy and (cyber)security law into basic knowledge that is equally accessible and educational for those working and researching in either field, those who are involved with businesses and organizations, and the general public.

The Governance of Privacy
Author: Colin J. Bennett
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351775472
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
This book was published in 2003.This book offers a broad and incisive analysis of the governance of privacy protection with regard to personal information in contemporary advanced industrial states. Based on research across many countries, it discusses the goals of privacy protection policy and the changing discourse surrounding the privacy issue, concerning risk, trust and social values. It analyzes at length the contemporary policy instruments that together comprise the inventory of possible solutions to the problem of privacy protection. It argues that privacy protection depends upon an integration of these instruments, but that any country's efforts are inescapably linked with the actions of others that operate outside its borders. The book concludes that, in a ’globalizing’ world, this regulatory interdependence could lead either to a search for the highest possible standard of privacy protection, or to competitive deregulation, or to a more complex outcome reflecting the nature of the issue and its policy responses.
