Dear good persons of the AoIR, Apologies for the shameless self-promotion, but I’ve written a book that may be of interest. It’s called Net Privacy, How we can be free in an age of surveillance, and works from Kantian ethics to relational privacy before prescribing a series of legal and extra-legal solutions that can (I hope) be applied globally.

On the off chance you weren’t scared off by “Kantian”, here are three links, one to an excerpt, and two to the publishers’ pages. https://www.crikey.com.au/2020/04/24/weekend-read-net-privacy-surveillance/ https://www.newsouthbooks.com.au/books/net-privacy/ https://www.mqup.ca/net-privacy-products-9780228002116.php Above all, I’d love to “see” you at the zoom launch this Thursday (April 30) at 5.30pm, Australian Eastern time: https://events.humanitix.com/virtual-book-launch-net-privacy-how-can-we-be-f...
