'... an excellent piece of work which I'm sure will influence future thinking about the internet, its uses and abuses.' Raymond Wacks, Emeritus Professor of Law and Legal Theory, University of Hong Kong 'In the debate about public and private use of the internet, Internet Privacy Rights ... is a refreshing and accessible solution. If we accept that the internet can be both liberating and generate inequality and oppression, then we expose the balance that needs to be struck and the need for global perspective. The book looks at many of the different ways that our privacy is infringed, from government surveillance to hacking. Such issues have the potential to create global tension, but for Bernal the solution is a not impossible privacy-friendly future.' Felicity Gerry, The Times
