Before you've even switched off your alarm, a whole host of organisations have been alerted to when you woke up, where you slept, and with whom. As you check the weather, scroll through your 'suggested friends' on Facebook, you continually compromise your privacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout your permission, or even your awareness, tech companies are harvesting your information, your location, your likes, your habits, and sharing it amongst themselves. They're not just selling your data. They're selling the power to influence you. Even when you've explicitly asked them not to. And it's not just you. It's all your contacts too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital technology is stealing our personal data and with it our power to make free choices. To reclaim that power and democracy, we must protect our privacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat can we do? So much is at stake. Our phones, our TVs, even our washing machines are spies in our own homes. We need new regulation. We need to pressure policy-makers for red lines on the data economy. And we need to stop sharing and to adopt privacy-friendly alternatives to Google, Facebook and other online platforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShort, terrifying, practical: \u003ci\u003ePrivacy is Power\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the implications of our laid-back attitude to data and sets out how we can take back control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you liked \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Surveillance Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll love \u003ci\u003ePrivacy is Power\u003c\/i\u003e because it provides a philosophical perspective on the politics of privacy, and it offers a very practical outlook, both for policymakers and ordinary citizens.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCarissa Véliz is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy and the Institute for Ethics in AI, as well as a Tutorial Fellow at Hertford College, at the University of Oxford.
