Solove, Daniel J., “The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet”. The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet, Daniel J. Solove, Yale University Press, October 2007 Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1019177
“Solove explores how the Internet is transforming gossip, the way we shame others, and our ability to protect our own reputations. Focusing on blogs, Internet communities, cyber mobs, and other current trends, he shows that, ironically, the unconstrained flow of information on the Internet may impede opportunities for self-development and freedom. Longstanding notions of privacy need review: unless we establish a balance among privacy, free speech, and anonymity, we may discover that the freedom of the Internet makes us less free.”
