The Filter Bubble
Imagine a world where all the news you see is defined by your salary, where you live, and who your friends are. Imagine a world where you never discover new ideas. And where you can't have secrets. Welcome to 2011. Google and Facebook are already feeding you what they think you want to see. Advertisers are following your every click. Your computer monitor is becoming a one-way mirror, reflecting your interests and reinforcing your prejudices. The internet is no longer a free, independent space. It is commercially controlled and ever more personalised. The Filter Bubble reveals how this hidden web is starting to control our lives - and shows what we can do about it.
Personality and Data Protection Rights on the Internet
This book focuses on protection needs and new aspects of personality and data protection rights on the Internet, presenting a comprehensive review that discusses and compares international, European and national (Brazilian, German, Pakistani) perspectives. It deals with overarching questions, such as whether universal minimum standards of privacy protection can be developed or how regional data protection rights can be safeguarded and enforced extraterritorially, given the conditions of the Internet. Furthermore, the book addresses new challenges and novel rights, e. g., data retention and protection against mass surveillance, the right to be forgotten, rights to anonymity, legal issues of the digital estate or rights relating to algorithmic decision-making. Furthermore, the book explores how well-known paradigms, such as liability for personality rights violations or damages, have to be adapted in view of the significant role of intermediaries.
The Internet Is Not the Answer

The renowned Internet commentator and author of How to Fix the Future"expos[es] the greed, egotism and narcissism that fuels the tech world" ( Chicago Tribune). The digital revolution has contributed to the world in many positive ways, but we are less aware of the Internet's deeply negative effects. The Internet Is Not the Answer, by longtime Internet skeptic Andrew Keen, offers a comprehensive look at what the Internet is doing to our lives. The book traces the technological and economic history of the Internet, from its founding in the 1960s through the rise of big data companies to the increasing attempts to monetize almost every human activity. In this sharp, witty narrative, informed by the work of other writers, reporters, and academics, as well as his own research and interviews, Keen shows us the tech world, warts and all. Startling and important, The Internet Is Not the Answer is a big-picture look at what the Internet is doing to our society and an investigation of what we can do to try to make sure the decisions we are making about the reconfiguring of our world do not lead to unpleasant, unforeseen aftershocks. "Andrew Keen has written a very powerful and daring manifesto questioning whether the Internet lives up to its own espoused values. He is not an opponent of Internet culture, he is its conscience, and must be heard." —Po Bronson, #1 New York Times–bestselling author
