This interdisciplinary book investigates privacy concerns in the digital age, enhancing understanding through theoretical insights and empirical research across diverse contexts. Leading experts study the nuances of privacy cynicism, apathy, and resignation by exploring the roots, manifestations, and implications of such attitudes.

Bringing together perspectives from communication studies, philosophy, law and sociology, contributing authors emphasise the need for a global understanding of digital privacy issues. Chapters explore practical implications for governance, design and policy, including data literacy, data portability, organizational practices and forms of resistance. They present new conceptual frameworks alongside rich empirical analyses, setting a forward-looking research agenda, outlining conceptual, methodological and policy directions for understanding and countering resignation in increasingly datafied societies.

Advancing the Study of Privacy Cynicism, Apathy and Resignation in the Digital Society is an essential resource for students and scholars in digital technologies, privacy studies, communication studies, information science and sociology. It is also a valuable read for policymakers, regulatory bodies and governmental agencies concerned with privacy laws, digital rights and the ethical use of technology.
