A book about what the Cambridge Analytica scandal shows That surveillance and data privacy is every citizens’ concern
An important look at how 50 years of American privacy law is inadequate for the today's surveillance technology, from acclaimed Ars Technica senior business editor Cyrus Farivar.
Until the 21st century, most of our activities were private by default, public only through effort; today anything that touches digital space has the potential (and likelihood) to remain somewhere online forever. That means all of the technologies that have made our lives easier, faster, better, and/or more efficient have also simultaneously made it easier to keep an eye on our activities. Or, as we recently learned from reports about Cambridge Analytica, our data might be turned into a propaganda machine against us.
In 10 crucial legal cases, Habeas Data explores the tools of surveillance that exist today, how they work, and what the implications are for the future of privacy.

Habeas Data Privacy vs the Rise of Surveillance Tech Cyrus Farivar Books Reviews
- An excellent overview of ten very important but little known court cases that have shaped privacy rights as we know them. These cases have defined the laws that govern our right to privacy. It shows clearly how they have failed to keep up in the ever evolving technological world we live in.
Cyrus has done an absolutely wonderful job interviewing and researching these historic court cases. - In Habeas Data, Cyrus Farivar takes a deep dive into cases that have changed today's interpretation of the Fourth Amendment in an effort to keep up with technological advances (our phones, for example, are scary things). Technology outpaces the law - the cases Farivar presents foreshadow issues we will face as these new technologies are implemented.
Habeas Data is an important read for those concerned with the tension between privacy and security, and how that manifests in the use of technology that transcends ordinary human abilities. - If you are at all interested in technology and justice; specifically criminal justice Farivar's book is a must read. This isn't an opinion piece but page after page and chapter after chapter well thought out and researched journalism often very well supported by case law. Farivar explores the intersection between our laws and our technology. He calls out the different interpretations of the laws and the uses of new technologies. This is an important book that legal, law enforcement, and technologists should all read.
- Overview of recent history and where we stand today in regards to personal privacy and high tech. Accessible reading for the non-technical, and a call to action (in my mind) to start examining what our elected lawmakers are doing to protect our right to privacy online.
- Great, insightful read on privacy law in the US. Very fascinating info and the author can really write well
- By digging deep into the strange history of surveillance law, Farivar reveals the hidden rules, questions, and contradictions that define our digital lives. While we continue to assemble components of an internet that may become a panopticon as easily as a tool for empowerment, making sense of these issues has never been more important. Habeas Data will suck you in, make you think, and might just change your perspective on the impending collision between technology and our social and political institutions. Required reading for anyone who wants to grok the future of privacy.
- A delightful, well-researched and often witty look into US Privacy law. If you believe that our privacy laws are, somehow, a cogent master plan with your right to privacy at their center, Farivar's exploration of 10 important privacy cases will scare you straight. Its a fun read and he has done a great job of shining a light on how this particular bit of sausage was made.
- This is an interesting look at the long-standing American legal struggle to define the rights of the individual vs. the rights of the state with regard to privacy. Chapter 10 on Oakland, CA is filler, but all of the other chapters are well-written.
