'The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy' by Professor Ignacio Cofone is one of five titles shortlisted for the The Donner Prize, a prestigious award recognizing the best public policy book by a Canadian. focuslaw.mcgill.ca/ignacio-cofone…

how did Ignacio Cofone come to write the privacy fallacy?

there's a lot of discourse that judges, lawmakers, etc want to protect our privacy, but in reality we don't get much payoff/protection from harms--just checkboxes, cookies, corporate DP officers

Ignacio Cofone Elettra Bietti Claudia Haupt NUSL CLIC ⚖️ @[email protected] @NUSL tech companies have a huge amount of power not only b/c of the market share that they have, but b/c of the data they have about each of us--data that can be used to determine whether we get credit, a loan, a job, a home, & more.

Ignacio Cofone #privacyfallacy

the privacy fallacy is the contradiction of saying we care about privacy, but then acting like the only thing that matters is protecting negative material consequences like ID theft, wrongful dismissals

if there's something value called privacy, there's more to protect there
