This book explores the commoditization of privacy and its evolution from a fundamental human right to a transactional, market-oriented concept. Exploring legal and political history in the United States as a background, it discusses how, even in the age of privacy regulation (GDPR, CCPA etc), there has been little change. To counter this, the author offers a novel tripartite approach that divides privacy into personal, social, and environmental spheres, offering a comprehensive framework for contemporary challenges like surveillance capitalism. The book is interdisciplinary in methodology and approach, combining historical, legal, and philosophical analysis, paired with empirical studies. It is important reading for policymakers, legal practitioners, and academics in privacy law and digital governance.
Author(s): Dr James J. Ward is an expert in privacy, AI, and the intersection of technology and ethics.
