Book excerpt: Installing software, apps, and games often requires granting permissions that allow access to personal data. Yet our day-to-day lives involve transactions that reveal sensitive information without expressed consent, or even our knowledge that this data is collected. Beyond corporate and domestic surveillance, governments engage in outright espionage, which is much more difficult to track or scrutinize. The relationship between spying, surveillance for public safety and the right to privacy is a tenuous balancing act. How do governments, corporations, and individuals collect information? How do they use that data? This cutting-edge set explores the technology behind espionage and surveillance, issues of legality, and what is gained and lost when we trade privacy for information. Features include: Mini-biographies, fact-filled sidebars, and cool photographs create a fun learning experience. Provides comprehensive further research sources and bibliographies.
