2. Surveillance and the Vanishing Individual: Power and Privacy in the Digital Age
2022 by Juan D. Lindau



"Surveillance and the Vanishing Individual investigates the profound influence of the proliferation of digital technologies, particularly the widespread practice of mass surveillance, on concepts of privacy and individuality. This book contends that the relentless pursuit of prediction, certainty, and control at the core of state security mechanisms erodes a vital facet of human dignity and severely undermines the principles of liberalism. The exploration begins by examining the emergence of the digital age and its historical significance. Subsequent chapters delve into diverse cultural interpretations of privacy, its philosophical significance in the context of human existence, and the form and scope of its legal safeguarding. Lindau scrutinizes the reasons behind the surge in state-sponsored mass surveillance, the limited legal constraints governing its application, its deployment against activists, protestors, and dissidents, as well as its repercussions on individuals and privacy. The book also addresses the rise of 'surveillance capitalism' and its worldwide impact, particularly within the realm of social media. It includes a case study analyzing global surveillance during the Covid-19 pandemic and its implications, concluding with reflections on the interplay between mass surveillance and liberalism. Offering interdisciplinary insights, this book caters to readers in the social sciences and philosophy, as well as students studying privacy, surveillance, and democracy. Lindau adeptly explores the societal, political, and economic ramifications of digitization, with a particular focus on the United States, alongside comparative cross-national and cross-regional analyses and discussions concerning the correlation between various forms of governance and state surveillance."

3. The Future of Digital Surveillance: Why Digital Monitoring Will Never Lose Its Appeal in a World of Algorithm-Driven AI
2021 by Yong Jin Park



"Are individuals inherently equipped to make informed choices regarding the safeguarding of their privacy within a society increasingly marked by pervasive digital monitoring? Or are we rendered vulnerable to surveillance as we engage with invasive digital platforms? Delving into the divide between the encroachment of surveillance and the concept of personal privacy, this book delves into the roots of personal data collection within digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) integrated into social networks, search engines, mobile applications, the internet, and email systems. Contrary to a deterministic view that attributes surveillance solely to digital technologies, 'The Future of Digital Surveillance' contends that the development of surveillance tools is shaped by a multifaceted interplay of individual psychology, institutional behaviors, and policy frameworks."
