Privacy issues

News stories about massive data breaches, data mining of personal information through social media, and pervasive surveillance have many people questioning the impact of technological developments on personal privacy.

Sarah Igo is the author of a new book, The Known Citizen: A History of Privacy in Modern America, exploring how privacy issues came to loom so large in American public life.   She not only discusses how recent changes in communication technologies, government bureaucracies, and social media have contributed to the erosion of privacy, but also highlights the role telephones and photojournalism played in affecting personal privacy as far back as the early twentieth century.  Her analysis addresses many other factors, from Social Security numbers to tell-all memoirs, concluding that ultimately, individuals have some level of responsibility in protecting their own privacy.

Can one’s personal information ever be fully protected? What role should the government play in ensuring protections?  Another recently added book, Compilation of State & Federal Privacy Laws, collects citations and descriptions of all the laws affecting privacy, surveillance, and data collection. 

These books are available at the Legislative Reference Library. Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338 or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn if you'd like to check out these books.
