Title :
Industry spotlight: Personal privacy: An endangered species in the information age?
Abstract :
The recent Lexis-Nexis flap made me curious about my own digital privacy. For those of you who haven´t heard about this hullabaloo, in mid-September there was a flurry of angry email messages flying around the Internet discussing the news that personal information about you could be purchased from the company by just about anyone with a credit card. Many were outraged at the loss of their privacy, and Lexis-Nexis was flooded with requests from netizens demanding removal of their personal data from the database.
