The Right to Privacy 19141948

Focusing on the socio-technological transformations during the world wars, this book examines the evolution of privacy and identity concepts. It highlights how key modern thinkers' ideas about rights, particularly privacy, were overlooked in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Through case studies on privacy, data protection, and the right to be forgotten, the author argues for a reevaluation of these rights in light of contemporary digital challenges, revealing surprising connections to modern discourse.
