  • More about Privacy Fix: How to Preserve Privacy in the Onslaught of Surveillance

Online surveillance by private companies is increasing, particularly through the Internet of Things and algorithmic decision-making. The Privacy Fix proposes practical solutions to preserve privacy, requiring no technical or legal expertise, and bridging the gap between computer scientists, economists, lawyers, and public policy makers.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 280 pages

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Online surveillance of our behavior by private companies is on the rise, particularly through the Internet of Things and the increasing use of algorithmic decision-making. This concerning trend undermines privacy and increasingly threatens our ability to control how information about us is shared and used. Written by a computer scientist and a legal scholar, The Privacy Fix proposes a set of evidence-based, practical solutions that will help solve this problem. Requiring no technical or legal expertise, the book explains complicated concepts in clear, straightforward language. Bridging the gap between computer scientists, economists, lawyers, and public policy makers, this book provides theoretically and practically sound public policy guidance about how to preserve privacy in the onslaught of surveillance. It emphasizes the need to make tradeoffs among the complex concerns that arise, and it outlines a practical norm-creation process to do so.
