Serge Gutwirth

Privacy and the Information Age

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Serge Gutwirth advances the intriguing thesis that privacy is in fact the safeguard of personal freedom-the safeguard of the individual's freedom to decide who she or he is, what she or he does, and who knows about it. Any restriction on privacy thus means an infringement of personal freedom. And it's exactly this freedom that plays an essential role in every democracy.
