Digital Privacy in a World of High-tech Surveillance
Since the internet touches almost every area of our public and private lives, internet privacy is an important guiding principle. With Internet Service Providers, mobile providers, major corporations, and three-letter government agencies capturing our browsing histories, maps, calendars, calls, texts, contacts, and more, people are awakening to the need for protecting their online privacy.
But to solve a problem, the problem must first be acknowledged. The tragedy is that — even 10 years after Edward Snowden’s revelations about the scope of digital government surveillance — many still dismiss the problem of digital surveillance, believing they have nothing to hide. And many who do recognize the gravity of the problem believe that nothing can be done about it.
