"Librarians Are Waging a Quiet War Against International 'Data Cartels'"

The Markup

Libraries have long been bastions of privacy. In fact, the American Library Association first put a right to privacy into its Bill of Rights in 1939. Librarians have since stood up time and again, refusing to keep records of what people borrow and thwarting occasional government interest in obtaining that sort of information. Yet while privacy is at the heart of many librarians’ work, it is becoming increasingly difficult to guarantee.
