Privacy: Past, Present, and Future

PRIVACY: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Would it surprise you to learn that nowhere in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights is there any protection for your personal privacy?

Or maybe there is - but if so, it's buried in the most subtle and unenforceable of ways.

No wonder social media sites are selling the private, personal data of you and your children to anyone who has the money. And no wonder this most important of all your rights - the right to be left alone - is up for sale, with the rules made up by the very same people who make money from breaking the rules.

Dr Leslie Gruis, a former senior official of the famously tightlipped National Security Agency, takes you on a tour of the murky past and the behind-the-scenes machinations of modern privacy rights. Do you have any rights at all? If so, what are they? What should they be? And can anything be done about it?

Read this book and find out everything that the modern privacy-invasion industry doesn't want you to know.

“A book every American should read.” From the book description: “In the United States, many imminent threats during the twentieth century induced heightened government intrusion into the privacy of Americans. The Privacy Act of 1974 and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA, 1978) reversed that trend. . . . The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) incorporated many such standards into its Cybersecurity Framework, and is currently developing a Privacy Framework. These standards all contribute to a patchwork of privacy protection which, so far, falls far short of what the U.S. constitutional promise offers and what our public badly needs. Greater privacy protections for U.S. citizens will come as long as Americans remember how democracy and privacy sustain one another, and demonstrate their commitment to them.”
