Abstract
The 20 chapters of this book attest to the formidable forces eroding privacy in today’s personal-data-rich world. The informed actions of enforcement professionals are necessary to confront these forces, but not sufficient. Needed as well is a political and cultural base of support for privacy values and practices. To this end, privacy advocates need to popularise a handful of concise principles that are widely understandable and emblematic of their concerns. Some suggestions for such privacy manifestoes include: (1) No commerce in personal data without notice and consent; (2) No government personal data systems without legislative responsibility and accessibility; and (3) Property rights for ordinary citizens over commercial exploitation of their data.
