An important look at how 50 years of American privacy law is inadequate for today's surveillance technology, from acclaimed Ars Technica senior business editor Cyrus Farivar.
Until the 21st century, most of our activities were private by default, public only through effort; today, anything that touches digital space has the potential (and likelihood) to remain somewhere online forever. That means all of the technologies that have made our lives easier, faster, better, and/or more efficient have also simultaneously made it easier to keep an eye on our activities. Or, as we recently learned from reports about Cambridge Analytica, our data might be turned into a propaganda machine against us.
In 10 crucial legal cases, Habeas Data explores the tools of surveillance that exist today, how they work, and what the implications are for the future of privacy.

Behind it all, one astonishing thing is the blitheness of the USA public in the face of these vast changes. The book closes with a look at a technology screening committee in Oakland, CA, seeming amazingly ad hoc and like a flea on the bow of a vast ship steaming forward at full speed into challenging and murky waters. It does seem belatedly Congress is stirring, and we will see how far that goes, and where it goes. On the evidence of this book, I'm pretty concerned.
