Data and Goliath: Confronting the Surveillance Society

Data and Goliath: Confronting the Surveillance Society: We have all become immersed in a sea of electronic data collection. Before we have had a chance to collectively think about what this phenomenal growth in data production and collection means, it threatens to become an irreversible feature of our lives. The new book Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Capture Your Data and Control Your World by security technologist Bruce Schneier, explores the various ways data is harvested by governments and corporations. Schneier also presents an action agenda for curbing inappropriate surveillance including steps that can be taken by government, by corporations, and by concerned members of the public.http://fas.org/blogs/secrecy/2015/03/data-and-goliath/
