Summary of Dragnet Nation by Julia Angwin
Synopsis
In Dragnet Nation beschreibt Julia Angwin, wie die Regierung und große Unternehmen riesige Datenmengen über uns sammeln und wie dies unser Leben beeinflusst. Natürlich besteht ständig die Gefahr, dass unsere Daten in die falschen Hände geraten und missbraucht werden – aber noch gefährlicher wird es, wenn wir uns an die Überwachung gewöhnen und damit beginnen, uns selbst zu zensieren.
