Smart cars, smart homes, smart watches, and smart medical devices track our most private activities and intimate patterns. While these devices allow users to receive personal insights by monitoring their every move, that data can be accessed by police and prosecutors looking to find incriminating clues. Digital technology exposes everyone, everywhere, all at once, and we have few laws to regulate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eYour Data Will Be Used Against You\u003c\/em\u003e, Andrew Guthrie Ferguson warns us of how the rise of sensor-driven technology, social media monitoring, and artificial intelligence can be weaponised against democratic values and personal freedoms. At the same time, that data will solve crimes, radically transforming how criminal cases are prosecuted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFerguson explores how this proliferation of private data in combination with public surveillance networks promises new ways to solve previously unsolvable crimes but also leaves us vulnerable to governmental overreach and abuse. He argues for legal interventions that address the threat of digital self-surveillance and provides concrete suggestions about how legislators, judges, and communities should respond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs consumers, citizens, and potential subjects of surveillance, the questions in this book must be confronted now, before the trap of surveillance captures us completely. Providing a stark warning of the dangers of digital self-surveillance, \u003cem\u003eYour Data Will Be Used Against You\u003c\/em\u003e is a defence of civil liberties against the growing threat of data-driven policing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934436212972,"sku":"9781479838288","price":109.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781479838288-your-data-will-be-used-against-you.jpg?v=1783919426"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/andrew-guthrie-ferguson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
