Does Privacy Still Exist? What You Need to Know

Guests: Leslie Francis, PhD, JD, professor of law and philosophy, University of Utah; John Francis, PhD, professor of political science, University of Utah; coauthors of "Privacy: What Everyone Needs to Know" Isn’t interesting how the urge to protect our privacy is with us so strongly at an early age? We hide our childhood diaries from prying eyes and post “Do Not Enter” signs on our bedroom doors. But do we ever really have privacy in this day when our credit card company and favorite stores hold more information about us than even our closest friends know and every move we make online is being tracked, quantified and sold? The premise of the new book, “Privacy: What Everyone Needs to Know” is that privacy still matters – and still exists – if you’re savvy about it.
