It also benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material, including examples of watershed events such as privacy policy developments on Facebook and Google+ in relation to ongoing changes in privacy law in the US, the EU, and Asia. New for the second edition is a section on citizen journalism and its implications for traditional journalistic ethics.
