Privacy on the Internet is a widely discussed issue in today's world. Many journal articles and books have been written based on this topic. One such material is Privacy Lost: How Technology is Endangering Your Privacy, written by David Holtzman and prefaced by Senator Evan Bayh. Because it is divided into six parts and each part is made up of chapters that contain an organized list of ideas, the book is very easy to follow. You don't need to be a technologist to understand this. In his book Holtzman discusses how new technology threatens our privacy and how the law is incapable of protecting us. Holtzman holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science (326). Worked as a security consultant in several organizations (326). Reiterating the title of the book in the introduction Holtzman argues that having no control over our personal information has resulted in the loss of privacy (xix). As Senator Evan Bayh recalled in the foreword, the book examines the thin line “between protecting the United States and protecting our civil rights” (vi). Overall, the main purpose of Privacy Lost is to convey the message that “you have the right to control the information about you” (xxv). The first chapter outlines the ways in which modern technology is violating privacy. Holtzman begins this chapter by presenting various definitions of “privacy.” Interpreting privacy conflicts due to cultural, geographic, and generational perspectives. But Holtzman sees three fundamental ideas behind this complex structure: “isolation, solitude, and self-determination” (4). Later in the chapter, Holtzman goes on to describe seven violations of privacy, which he calls “sins.” First comes the sin of intrusion, which is the unwanted clutter...... in the center of the paper...... (86). With the help of intelligent profiling software, computers guess and place people into certain categories based on the information already available (83). If someone is given the wrong label because they were wrongly assigned to a category, it's really hard to get rid of them. Companies use profiling systems to discriminate against customers with bad reputations, even if the person is innocent. Chapter five of Privacy Lost begins the third part of the book. It focuses on protecting privacy through the lens of legal structure. In this chapter Holtzman argues that laws are failing to keep pace with technological advances. Before we begin discussing the connection between privacy and law, Holtzman makes the perfect point that the word “privacy” was not used in the United States Constitution. “The absence of adequate legal protection” presents problems in court when citizens claim the right to be protected (94).
