Opis

Transparency 2.0 investigates a host of emerging issues around the collision of information and personal privacy in a digital world. Delving into the key legal concepts of information access and privacy, such as practical obscurity, the U.S. Supreme Court s central purpose test, and Europe s
emerging concept of the -right to be forgotten-, contributors examine issues regarding online access to court records, social media, access to email, and complications from massive government data dumps by Wikileaks, Edward Snowden, and others. They offer solutions to resolving conflict and look to the future as a new generation learns to live in an open digital world where the line between information and privacy blurs ever faster. This book is ideal for anyone interested in the legal battlefield over access and privacy, as well as for classes in the law of the media and First Amendment, privacy, journalism, and public affairs."

Recenzje

«Transparency 2.0 charges to the front of the timely 'must reads' on access and privacy for communications professionals, educators, and policy makers. The book treats the real and direct confrontations between both access and privacy in communications that almost always are avoided. This book as a whole is about how access and privacy look each other in the eye, not how privacy views access or vice versa, the typical treatment these topics receive. It provides both the history of the collision of the two legal topics but also some new insights by veteran observers. The authors of the multiple chapters in this anthology include most of the best communications law scholars who have examined the field for three decades as well as new faces who give fresh air to the topic. At least some of these chapters talk about these issues in ways that will make the chapters talked about for some time.» (Bill Chamberlin, Joseph L. Brechner Scholar of Freedom of Information Emeritus, College of Journalism and Communications, Affiliate Professor of Law Emeritus, Levin College of Law, University of Florida)
«In this important collection, outstanding advocates of access define the chaotic clash in the courts, legislatures, executive branches, and the larger society between openness and privacy. The authors lament the presumption of openness is too often trumped by inadequately conceived and articulated privacy interests. The need for cohesive reform - complicated by the relentless advance of technology - is made abundantly clear.» (Kent R. Middleton, Professor, Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Georgia)
