Monograph review: Internet of Things and the Law

Abstract

Dr Guido Noto La Diega ’ s monograph Internet of Things and the Law attempts to answer an overarching but crucial research question: ‘ how does the law mediate the power dynamics between IoT big tech and the end users and can the law steer the development of the IoT in a human-centric and societally bene fi cial direction? ’ . The author ’ s thesis – or main argument – is that alongside privacy and security, the key topic i.e. the Internet of Things (IoT) poses a threat to other fundamental values, from equality and freedom of expression to self-determi-nation through dignity. fi lling
