Daniel J. Solove is an American legal scholar and one of the world's leading authorities on privacy law. He is a Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School and the founder of TeachPrivacy, a company that provides privacy and data-security training to organizations.
Solove has shaped how privacy is understood in the digital age, developing influential frameworks for thinking about what privacy actually protects and why it matters. His scholarship is among the most widely cited in the field.
His books for general and academic audiences include The Future of Reputation, which examines gossip, rumor, and shaming on the internet; Understanding Privacy, which offers a comprehensive theory of the concept; and Nothing to Hide, which dismantles the common argument that only wrongdoers need fear surveillance.
He writes and speaks widely on data protection, surveillance, and the law, translating complex legal questions into terms that policymakers, professionals, and ordinary readers can grasp.
