The net is closing. The e-police are here. That is the controversial debate this book brings to the fore.
Written to inform the public on what really happens online, the net is closing: birth of the e-police calls out internet bullies, online anonymity, and shines a bright light on who (or what) is behind policing our current "virtual" reality.
- Have you ever considered what society will look like in 5, 10 or 50 years' time, without online law enforcement?
- Have you or someone you know had their lives destroyed by trolls able to hide behind fake profiles, but felt they had no one to turn to for redress?
- Can you imagine what it feels like to receive death threats, be sexually abused, be too scared to leave the house or unfairly lose your small family business, only to find that nobody really cares?
Lobbying the government, organisations and corporations to provide a better, safer future for us and our children, this book turns up the heat on the privacy vs. safety debate and puts forth some necessary, yet somewhat controversial, recommendations for change.
Determined, purposive and armed with real-life cases of online atrocities, author and top UK Internet Lawyer Yair Cohen's fascinating insights into the internet and our society scares, angers, excited and disturbs.
Warning: The Net Is Closing: birth of the e-police is not for the faint-hearted. After reading, you will be on one side, or the other.
