Below you will find a link to an audio/radio interview with author Julia Angwin, who wrote Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security and Freedom.
She discusses this book on the radio show known as "Fresh Air".
This discussion addresses the lack of privacy in our use of technology as it relates to the government and private companies.
Legally speaking, there is a U.S. Constitutional right to privacy from the government, but not necessarily from private entities. However, private entities can be held liable (legally responsible) for violating contractual rights that guarantee privacy between the consumer and the company.
Private corporate behavior is also relevant as it relates to the public's interest in developing public policy (law) to regulate such behavior. And of course, the government's role in identifying the behavior of its citizens has become very threatening to those who believe privacy from the government is a cornerstone of democracy.
