intimate activities and intimate information about us end up on
social media. Professor Danielle Citron makes a compelling case for
a 'right to intimate privacy' under the law. This beautifully

needed meaningful change in the law

and your window-shopping and purchases generate information sold
and combined with other information about you, the accumulation of
'little assents' produce constant surveillance, risks of
manipulation, and the elimination of privacy. Danielle Citron's
expert and engaging treatment of 'technology-enabled privacy
violations' shows why victims, digital platforms, and legislators
alike turn to her for advice and for fights to reclaim privacy
morally, legally, and practically
*Martha Minow, former Dean, Harvard Law School*

privacy' and argues that new rights and laws for the digital age
are both long overdue and within our grasp. Lawmakers and citizens
alike, this book is for you

rights lawyer*
