Billion-dollar fines for Facebook. Cambridge
Analytica. Edward Snowden. Apps on our smartphones tracking our every move.
Privacy may be a defining issue of our age, but it is also one of the least
understood. Our digital world confuses
what we know about privacy — what is public, what is private. Do old
ethical and legal norms apply to new, digital media? How did the conditions of privacy become so uncertain that we are
unsure about our own right to privacy? What can protect us from allowing
corporations, governments, hackers and insidious websites to know more about us
than we want them to?
Rigorous and engaging,
this book examines the minutiae of our digital lives while drawing on a
philosophy of ethical and legal frameworks based on the thinking of philosopher
Immanuel Kant. With a firm eye on the cutting edge of digital developments,
Sacha Molitorisz outlines a robust model of individual consent.
Of urgent importance, this book spells out conceptual and practical steps to ensure our shared future is not dystopian. It shows not only that informed privacy is fundamental to us as individuals, but that in the digital world we need an enforceable regulatory framework to secure our relationships with others and to safeguard our democracies.
'If you undress in front of an open window, it's your own
fault. Sacha Molitorisz makes you realise that you're undressing in a
glasshouse and your clothes are made of cellophane.' — Shaun Micallef, satirist and ex-lawyer
'...[A]comprehensive analysis that offers a much-needed guide to, and thereby
hope for, preserving and enhancing privacy, and with it, huma
