Trafficking Data

Meer over het boek

In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas shows how US corporations' influence on tech regulation paved the way for exploitative data gathering, not just by US corporations, but by Chinese corporations as well. To resolve this issue in the US requires changing foundational values not just in the tech ecosystem, but in the relationship between industry and government in the United States.
