Privacy, Identity, and Anonymity on the Web

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Is anonymity a crucial safeguard-or a threat to society? "One of the most well-informed examinations of the Internet available today" ( Kirkus Reviews). "The author explores the rich history of anonymity in politics, literature and culture, while also debunking the notion that only troublemakers fear revealing their identities to the world. In relatively few pages, the author is able to get at the heart of identity itself... Stryker also introduces the uninitiated into the 'Deep Web,' alternative currencies and even the nascent stages of a kind of parallel Web that exists beyond the power of governments to switch it off. Beyond even that is the fundamental question of whether or not absolute anonymity is even possible." - Kirkus Reviews "Stryker explains how significant web anonymity is to those key companies who mine user data personal information of, for example, the millions of members on social networks.... An impassioned, rational defense of web anonymity and digital free expression." - Publishers Weekly
