I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the Death of Privacy
I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did Social Networks and the Death of Privacy Author:Lori Andrews Hailed as ?stunning? (New York Post), ?authoritative? (Kirkus Reviews), and ?comprehensively researched? (Shelf Awareness), a shocking exposÉ of the widespread abuses of our personal online data by a leading specialist on Web privacy. Social networks are the defining cultural movement of our time, empowering us in constantly evolving ways. We ca... more »n all now be reporters, alerting the world to breaking news, participating in crowd-sourced scientific research, and helping the police solve crimes. Social networks have even helped to bring down governments, but they have also greatly accelerated the erosion of our personal privacy rights. As leading expert on social networks and privacy Lori Andrews shows through groundbreaking in-depth research and a host of stunning stories of abuses, as we work and chat and shop and date (and even sometimes have sex) over the Web, we are opening ourselves up to increasingly intrusive, relentless, and anonymous surveillance?by employers, schools, lawyers, the police, and aggressive data aggregator services that compile an astonishing amount of information about us and sell it to any and all takers. But the legal system cannot be counted on to protect us?in the thousands of cases brought to trial by those whose rights have been violated, judges have most often ruled against them. That is why in addition to providing the best expert advice about protecting ourselves, Andrews proposes that we must all become supporters of a Constitution for the Web, which she has drafted and introduces in this book. Now is the time to join her and take action?the very future of privacy is at stake.« less
