Unpopular Privacy: What Must We Hide? (Studies in Feminist Philosophy)

Anita Allen

4.9/5 (10381 ratings)

Description:Can the government stick us with privacy we don't want? It can, it does, and according to Anita L. Allen, it may need to do more of it. Privacy is a foundational good, Allen argues, a necessary tool in the liberty-lover's kit for a successful life. A nation committed to personal freedom must be prepared to mandate inalienable, liberty-promoting privacies for its people, whether they eagerly embrace them or not. This unique book about seclusion, concealment, confidentiality and data-protection draws attention to just such unpopular forms of privacy--privacies disvalued by their intended beneficiaries and targets--and outlines the best reasons for imposing them, and the worst. Allen looks at laws designed to keep website operators from collecting personal information from young children, anti-nudity laws that force strippers to wear pasties and thongs, and the myriad employee and professional confidentiality rules--including insider trading laws--that require strict silence about matters whose disclosure could earn us small fortunes. She shows that such laws--and ethical rules of concealment currently strained by trends in media and technology--recognize the extraordinary importance of dignity, reputation, and trust, and help to preserve social, economic and political options throughout a lifetime.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
