I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the Death of Privacy. This item is unavailable.I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the Death of Privacy

Hailed as "stunning" (New York Post), "authoritative" (Kirkus Reviews), and "comprehensively researched" (Shelf Awareness), a shocking exposé of the widespread abuses of our personal online data by a leading specialist on Web privacy.

Social networks, the defining cultural movement of our time, offer many freedoms. But as we work and shop and date over the Web, we are opening ourselves up to intrusive privacy violations by employers, the police, and aggressive data collection companies that sell our information to any and all takers.

Through groundbreaking research, Andrews reveals how routinely colleges reject applicants due to personal information searches, robbers use vacation postings to target homes for break-ins, and lawyers scour our social media for information to use against us in court. And the legal system isn't protecting us--in the thousands of privacy violations brought to trial, judges often rule against the victims. Providing expert advice and leading the charge to secure our rights, Andrews proposes a Social Network Constitution to protect us all. Now is the time to join her and take action--the very future of privacy is at stake.
