Description
Pop-up ads, cookies, spyware, spam, junk mail,
telemarketing calls. Rapidly evolving technology has made you a target
and your personal information a desirable commodity. Your profile is out
there and it’s available not just to the highest bidder, but to every
bidder. Technology, advertising, the media, and government have
converged to invade our privacy. Invasion of Privacy exposes the dangers
and proposes a practical defense. Invasion of Privacy is about people;
people who do good and evil things with technology, people who are
victims of technology, and victims who become avengers by turning the
tables on the technology that victimizes them.
