A review by lizardcha
أعرف من أنت ورأيت ماذا فعلت : مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي وفقدان الخصوصية by شادي رواشدة, Lori Andrews, لوري آندروز
4.0
I purchased this book on a whim & I'm glad I did. It lays out the problem of privacy on the web from different angles (work, relationships, law etc.) and backs up each scenario with real stories & events that have come to pass in the last few years related to internet privacy & rights. Andrews' puts forth the need for a Social Network Constitution.
While I did enjoy almost everything about this book, I did, however, feel a little underminded by the constant redirection back to her SNC argument with questions after every case. I feel that it's self explanitory within the context of the book once you read the first chapter. This may have been intentional if the target audience is people who aren't versed in the issues of internet security but to me, it made me feel as if I was reading a very informed high school paper.
What stopped me from giving this a lower star rating was the amount of support & facts Andrews' shared throughout.
TL:DR - I thought the voice of the book could have been less dumbed down but the stories & evidence out weighs my qualms making this both a thought provoking & necessary read forfor anyone who uses the internet daily, especially in the days of ACTA, SOPA & PIPA.
