Data and goliath by bruce schneier5/28/2023 They track every person you search for, every profile you viewed, every image you viewed, every letter you type, every letter you backspace, where your mouse hovers on the page, and more. One thing that stood out was just how much information the social media networks keep and share. The book covers some information about NSA mass surveilance but talks about many other stories as well. It gives you perspective when you hear the large collection of stories about how our information is being used. The book is full of real anecdotes, news stories, and leaks. The data being stored is incredibly private and personal. In many cases, the data is stored forever. He demonstrates through real stories how much data is actually being recorded and stored. The main topics of the book are data, privacy, and crime. These are my thoughts about the book and some of the interesting points that I found. If you don't know who he is already, you can read more about him on his Wikipedia entry and his personal website. I recently finished reading (well, listening) to Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World.
