Internet privacy is a widely debated issue in today's world. Many journal articles and books have been written on this subject. One such document is Privacy Lost: How Technology is Endangering Your Privacy, written by David Holtzman and foreword by Senator Evan Bayh. Since it is divided into six parts and each part is made up of chapters that contain an organized list of ideas, the book is very easy to follow. You don't have to be a technologist to understand it. In his book, Holtzman explains how new technologies threaten our privacy and how the law is unable to protect us. Holtzman holds a BS in Computer Science (326). He has worked as a security advisor in several organizations (326). Rephrasing the book's title in the introduction, Holtzman asserts that not having control over our personal information has resulted in a loss of privacy (xix). As Senator Evan Bayh mentioned in the foreword, the book examines the fine line "between protecting the United States and protecting our civil rights" (vi). Overall, the main goal of Privacy Lost is to convey the message that “you have the right to control information about you” (xxv). The first chapter describes the ways in which modern technology violates privacy. Holtzman begins this chapter by presenting various definitions of “privacy.” Interpreting privacy conflicts due to cultural, geographic, and generational perspectives. But Holtzman sees three fundamental ideas behind this complex structure: “isolation, solitude, and self-determination” (4). Later in the chapter, Holtzman goes on to describe the seven violations of privacy, which he calls "sins." First comes the sin of trespass, which is unwanted encroachment...... middle of paper...... (86). Using intelligent profiling software, computers guess and classify people into certain categories based on information already available (83). If someone receives a bad label by being wrongly assigned to a category, it is very difficult to get rid of them. Companies use profiling systems to discriminate against customers with a bad reputation, even if the person is innocent. Chapter five of Privacy Lost begins the third part of the book. It focuses on privacy protection through the lens of legal structure. In this chapter, Holtzman argues that laws cannot keep up with technological advances. Before we begin discussing the connection between privacy and the law, Holtzman makes it perfectly clear that the word “privacy” was not used in the U.S. Constitution. “Lack of adequate legal protection” poses problems in court when citizens claim the right to be protected (94).
