Indlæser... Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security, and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillanceaf Julia Angwin
![]() Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. ![]() ![]() Scary tale this book tells. In the end, Angwin basically gives up on completely securing her privacy because she values the online connections she has. Her suggestions for improving personal privacy in the face of massive personal data collection are worth reading. And, her path to these conclusions makes for some very interesting, and infuriating, reading. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Online ads from websites you've visited ... smartphones and cars transmitting your location ... data-gathering surveillance operations across the Internet and on your phone lines. You are being watched ... Angwin offers a revelatory and unsettling look at how the government, private companies, and even criminals use technology to indiscriminately sweep up vast amounts of our personal data. She argues that the greatest long-term danger is that we start to internalize the surveillance and censor our words and thoughts, until we lose our freedom. Appalled at such a prospect, Angwin conducts a series of experiments to try to protect herself.
"We see online ads from websites we've visited, long after we've moved on to other interests. Our smartphones and cars transmit our location, enabling us to know what's in the neighborhood but also enabling others to track us. And the federal government, we recently learned, has been conducting a massive data-gathering surveillance operation across the Internet and on our phone lines. In Dragnet Nation, award-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin reports from the front lines of America's surveillance economy, offering a revelatory and unsettling look at how the government, private companies, and even criminals use technology to indiscriminately sweep up vast amounts of our personal data. In a world where we can be watched in our own homes, where we can no longer keep secrets, and where we can be impersonated, financially manipulated, or even placed in a police lineup, Angwin argues that the greatest long-term danger is that we start to internalize the surveillance and censor our words and thoughts, until we lose the very freedom that makes us unique individuals. Appalled at such a prospect, Angwin conducts a series of experiments to try to protect herself, ranging from quitting Google to carrying a "burner" phone, showing how difficult it is for an average citizen to resist the dragnets' reach. Her book is a cautionary tale for all of us, with profound implications for our values, our society, and our very selves."--Publisher information. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |
