Abstract

This chapter delves into the interrelationship between the Internet of Things (IoT) and our civil rights, particularly, the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. The goal is to emphasize the immensity of the work to be done to tackle the issues presented with this great ubiquitous asset. We constantly use it, but it can also be the cause of many grave issues detrimental to the safety of our personal data. Also discussed are the fundamentals of privacy, security, and your civil rights and the different obstacles and opportunities that occur along the way, sometimes leading to litigation. We will explain why it is all about the data, who gets hacked and why, and what precautions and actions you can take as an individual and a company.
