New book: Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society: Refining Privacy Impact Assessment
Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce the following publication - forwarding to other interested persons is of course warmly welcome: Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society: Refining Privacy Impact Assessment. London/New York: Routledge, 2019. ISBN 978-1-138-32353-7 synopsis below, further information: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/ita/publikationen/buecher/privacy-and-identity-in-a-n... https://www.routledge.com/Privacy-and-Identity-in-a-Networked-Society-Refini... Best regards Stefan Strauß This book offers an analysis of privacy impacts resulting from and reinforced by technology and discusses fundamental risks and challenges of protecting privacy in the digital age. Privacy is among the most endangered "species" in our networked society: personal information is processed for various purposes beyond our control. Ultimately, this affects the natural interplay between privacy, personal identity and identification. This book investigates that interplay from a systemic, socio-technical perspective by combining research from the social and computer sciences. It sheds light on the basic functions of privacy, their relation to identity, and how they alter with digital identification practices. The analysis reveals a general privacy control dilemma of (digital) identification shaped by several interrelated socio-political, economic and technical factors. Uncontrolled increases in the identification modalities inherent to digital technology reinforce this dilemma and benefit surveillance practices, thereby complicating the detection of privacy risks and the creation of appropriate safeguards. Easing this problem requires a novel approach to privacy impact assessment (PIA), and this book proposes an alternative PIA framework which, at its core, comprises a basic typology of (personally and technically) identifiable information. This approach contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of privacy impacts and thus, to the development of more effective protection standards. -- Dr. Stefan Strauß Institute of Technology Assessment (ITA) Austrian Academy of Sciences 1030 Wien, Apostelgasse 23 ---------------------------------------- Phone: ++43 1 515 81 - 6599 stefan.strauss@oeaw.ac.at http://www.oeaw.ac.at/ita/strauss ---------------------------------------- Recently published: -Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society: Refining Privacy Impact Assessment.

Stefan (and AoIR), Congratulations on the publication of "Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society. Refining Privacy Impact Assessment" - https://www.oeaw.ac.at/ita/publikationen/buecher/privacy-and-identity-in-a-n... . Am curious how such questions will inform the development of a realistic virtual earth / universe, and at the cellular and atomic levels too. (Am thinking Google Streetview with time slider / maps / earth / tensor flow and which is also wiki where we could all add our own video into such a realistic virtual earth, and this would become integrated into the whole +). See too this recent "depth prediction" Tweet from Google - https://twitter.com/GoogleAI/status/1131615568753115136 (and in this related blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/redtail-sharkminnow-3-books-at-re... ).

This book offers an analysis of privacy impacts resulting from and reinforced by technology and discusses fundamental risks and challenges of protecting privacy in the digital age.
