ISBN: 9798250727280 - the end of privacy was voluntary: why we traded autonomy for convenience (5 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Privacy did not disappear overnight. It was optimized away.Each new platform promised ease. Each update removed friction. Each tap and swipe felt rational. Over time, those small decisions accumulated into something larger than any single choice.The result is not a dystopia imposed from above. It is a culture of visibility built from below.In The End of Privacy Was Voluntary, Marcus Ellington argues that the erosion of privacy was not primarily a story of coercion or conspiracy. It was a story of incentives. Convenience reduced effort. Reduced effort increased disclosure. Disclosure became infrastructure. Infrastructure reshaped expectations.What began as optional sharing became default transparency.Drawing on behavioral psychology, platform design, and political economy, Ellington examines how micro-consents became normalized, how data became capital, and how digital systems quietly integrated into everyday life. The book explores why informed consent rarely functioned as meaningful choice, how identity became performative, and why opting out now carries social cost.This is not an argument against technology. It is an examination of how optimization reshapes autonomy.As biometric authentication, predictive analytics, and algorithmic scoring become embedded in institutions, privacy shifts from personal preference to structural constraint. The tradeoffs were incremental. The consequences are cumulative.The End of Privacy Was Voluntary offers a clear-eyed account of how we arrived here and what it means for autonomy in a frictionless age.
