In Controlling Knowledge, author LornaStefanick offers a thought-provoking and user-friendly overview of theregulatory regime that currently governs freedom of information and theprotection of privacy.
Aiming to clarify rather than mystify, Stefanick outlines thehistory and application of FOIP legislation, with special focus on howthese laws affect the individual. To illustrate the impact of FOIP, sheexamines the notion of informed consent, looks at concerns aboutsurveillance in the digital age, and explores the sometimes insidiousinfluence of Facebook.
