La vie privée, un problème de vieux cons?

Synopsis of La vie privée, un problème de vieux cons?

«La vie privée, un problème de vieux cons ?» is an essay on technology and philosophy by Jean-Marc Manach, published by FYP in paperback.

In this essay, Jean-Marc Manach analyses the paradox of expressing oneself freely on the internet while, at the same time, fearing surveillance. Manach argues that young people know how to protect their private lives on social networks and that the problem is not generational but political: privacy is essential for freedom.

The work was originally published in 2010 and belongs to the categories of technology and philosophy; it addresses electronic surveillance, data protection and the right to privacy.

A read for parents, teachers and politicians, and for those who feel uneasy about the impact of the internet on privacy and freedoms.
