What information about you is available on the Internet? What if
it's wrong, humiliating, or true but regrettable? Will it ever go
away? Teeming with chatrooms, online discussion groups, and blogs,
the Internet offers previously unimagined opportunities for
personal expression and communication. But there's a dark side to
the story. A trail of information fragments about us is forever
preserved on the Internet, instantly available in a Google search.
A permanent chronicle of our private lives-often of dubious
reliability and sometimes totally false-will follow us wherever we
go, accessible to friends, strangers, dates, employers, neighbors,
relatives, and anyone else who cares to look. This engrossing book,
brimming with amazing examples of gossip, slander, and rumor on the
Internet, explores the profound implications of the online
collision between free speech and privacy. Daniel Solove, an
authority on information privacy law, offers a fascinating account
of how the Internet is transforming gossip, the way we shame
others, and our ability to protect our own reputations. Focusing on
blogs, Internet communities, cybermobs, and other current trends,
he shows that, ironically, the unconstrained flow of information on
the Internet may impede opportunities for self-development and
freedom. Long-standing notions of privacy need review, the author
contends: unless we establish a balance between privacy and free
speech, we may discover that the freedom of the Internet makes us
less free.
