Most people believe that our rights to privacy and free speech are
inevitably in conflict. Courts all over the world have struggled
with how to reconcile the two for over a century, and the rise of
the Internet has made this problem more urgent. We live in an age
of corporate and government surveillance of our lives. And our free
speech culture has created an anything-goes environment on the web,
filled with hurtful and harmful expression and data flows. In
Intellectual Privacy, Neil Richards offers a solution that ensures
that our ideas and values keep pace with our technologies. Because
of the importance of free speech to open societies, he argues that
when privacy and free speech truly conflict, free speech should
almost always win. But in sharp contrast to conventional wisdom,
Richards argues that speech and privacy are only rarely in
conflict. True invasions of privacy like peeping toms or electronic
surveillance should almost never be protected as "free speech." And
critically, Richards shows how most of the law we enact to protect
online privacy poses no serious burden to public debate, and how
protecting the privacy of our data is not censorship. A timely and
provocative book on a subject that affects us all, Intellectual
Privacy will radically reshape the debate about privacy and free
speech in our digital age.
