The Fight for Privacy

<p><strong>'Devastating and urgent, this book could not be more timely' Caroline Criado Perez, award-winning and bestselling author of <em>Invisible Women</em></strong><br /><br />Danielle Citron takes the conversation about technology and privacy out of the boardrooms and op-eds to reach readers where we are - in our bathrooms and bedrooms; with our families and our lovers; in all the parts of our lives we assume are untouchable - and shows us that privacy, as we think we know it, is largely already gone.<br /><br />The boundary that once protected our intimate lives from outside interests is an artefact of the twentieth century. In the twenty-first, we have embraced a vast array of technology that enables constant access and surveillance of the most private aspects of our lives. From non-consensual pornography, to online extortion, to the sale of our data for profit, we are vulnerable to abuse -- and our laws have failed miserably to keep up.<br /><br />With vivid examples drawn from interviews with victims, activists and lawmakers from around the world, <em>The Fight for Privacy</em> reveals the threat we face and argues urgently and forcefully for a reassessment of privacy as a human right. As a legal scholar and expert, Danielle Citron is the perfect person to show us the way to a happier, better protected future.</p>
