Description: Capello investigates why we ve been so blithe about giving up our privacy and all the opportunities we ve had along the way to rein it in. Every day Americans surrender their private information to entities claiming to have their best interests in mind. This trade - off has long been taken for granted but the extent of its nefariousness has recently become much clearer. As None of Your Damn Business reveals the problem is not so much that data will be used in ways we don t want but rather how willing we have been to have our information used abused and sold right back to us. In this startling book Lawrence Cappello targets moments from the past 130 years of US history when privacy was central to battles over journalistic freedom national security surveillance big data and reproductive rights. As he makes dismayingly clear Americans have had numerous opportunities to protect the public good while simultaneously safeguarding our information and we ve squandered them every time. None of Your Damn Business is a rich and provocative survey of an alarming topic that grows only more relevant with each fresh outrage of trust betrayed.
