Reviews
`The deepest conundrum in the privacy world-especially, in light of the internet of other people's things-is perhaps the notion of privacy in public. Unraveling this practically Kantian antinomy is the ambitious aim of this important new collection. Together and apart, this intriguing assemblage of scientists, social scientists, philosophers and lawyers interrogate subjects ranging from conceptual distinctions between `space' and `place' and the social practice of `hiding in plain sight,' to compelling ideas such as `privacy pollution' and the problem of `out-of-body DNA.' With this edited volume, the team from TILT has curated a convincing account of the importance of preserving privacy in increasingly public spaces.' -- Ian Kerr, University of Ottawa, Canada `A most welcome book on the most neglected of topics by a pioneering team of interdisciplinary scholars. The volume illuminates the rendering asunder of the borders that previously protected personal information, even when the individual was in public and helps us see the muddying of the simple distinction between public and private. The book asks what public and private mean (and should mean) today as smart phones, embedded sensors and related devices overwhelm the barriers of space, time, physicality, and inefficiency that previously protected information. This collection offers a needed foundation for future conceptualization and research on privacy in literal and virtual public spaces. It should be in the library of anyone interested in the social, policy and ethical implications of information technologies.' -- Gary T. Marx, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US `At a time of rapid change in the technologies of surveillance and data capture, how are the spatial and informational dimensions of privacy to be articulated in public spaces? With the disruption of the distinction between the private and the public, where, when, and how may agents reasonably expect to control and maintain their own (private) space and their own (private) business? Drawing on a number of interdisciplinary perspectives, the contributions in this collection offer some valuable insights into how we might engage with these questions of privacy in public.' -- Roger Brownsword, King's College London, UK `Public space is increasingly being privatised and enclosed or is subject to invasive surveillance raising a number of social, political, moral and legal questions. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective and using empirical case studies, this volume usefully explicates a series of philosophical, legal and regulatory concerns and suggests possible responses. Collectively, the chapters add fresh impetus and insights to a long-standing and growing concern, producing a richer understanding of the relationship between privacy and public space.' -- Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University, Ireland `Privacy in Public Space: Conceptual and Regulatory Challenges is a wonderful collection of chapters by contemporary privacy scholars. The book's distinctiveness arises both from the interdisciplinary approaches used by the authors to analyze various theoretical, contextual, and empirical issues, and from its singular focus on addressing the problem of privacy in public. Rich with theory and applications, the book is accessible, timely, and will repay a close reading.' -- Adam D. Moore, University of Washington, US
`How we should think about privacy in public spaces in a world of artificial intelligence and ubiquitous sensors is among the most interesting and pressing questions in all of privacy studies. This edited volume brings together some of Europe and America's finest minds to shed theoretic and practical light on a critical issue of our time.' -- Ryan Calo, University of Washington, US `The deepest conundrum in the privacy world-especially, in light of the internet of other people's things-is perhaps the notion of privacy in public.
