This book addresses ethical and legal questions that arise when technologies such as smart phones, Google Glass and social networking websites, as well as traditional media technologies, are used to give individuals unwanted attention.

"The tension between privacy and free speech is ever changing, and technology increases the tension.  Citing relevant, seminal cases and using compelling fact patterns for privacy and free speech, Tunick (Florida Atlantic Univ.) uses truly global comparative law sources to explain social and legal norms regarding technology and privacy.  He attempts to define privacy in relationship to its aspects that are vital to human life, advocates for a narrower plain view doctrine than most courts hold, and attempts to define what newsworthy events are.  Recognizing that there is a need for free speech, he attempts to define where privacy begins and the right of free speech ends.  While acknowledging that the creation and use of technology advances ethical and social issues more rapidly than the law can address them, he argues that these issues should be memorialized in the law.  This would be an excellent source for delving into the contemporary issues of privacy and free speech." RECOMMENDED: CHOICE- J. M. Keller, Florida Coastal School of Law
