End of privacy era

Book title: The Age of the End of Privacy Author: Andreas Bernard Publisher: Safsafa Book classification: Philosophy Brief about the book: How we transformed ourselves into "accomplices with the identity reveal service" ourselves is the question that the author Andreas Bernard traces in his book. He initially draws attention to the fact that a huge number of self-perception and display methods in digital culture rely on methods developed in criminology, psychology, and psychiatry since the nineteenth century. The idea of a "profile" on social media platforms, which has become today the main space for self-display, actually originated from what was known as the "psychological file" for detainees or the "criminal description file" for professional killers. The self-location feature present in smartphones, without which one cannot, for example, run the game "Pokémon Go" or log into apps like "Uber," "Yelp," or "Liverando," uses technology linked even before ten years to electronic ankle bracelets. And the bodily vibrations transmitted by sensors or self-quantification tracking are those that originally led to the invention of lie detectors.
