Privacy is one of the most urgent issues associated with
information technology and digital media. This book claims that
what people really care about when they complain and protest that
privacy has been violated is not the act of sharing information
itself--most people understand that this is crucial to social life
--but the inappropriate, improper sharing of information.
Arguing that privacy concerns should not be limited solely to
concern about control over personal information, Helen Nissenbaum
counters that information ought to be distributed and protected
according to norms governing distinct social contexts--whether it
be workplace, health care, schools, or among family and friends.
She warns that basic distinctions between public and private,
informing many current privacy policies, in fact obscure more than
they clarify. In truth, contemporary information systems should
alarm us only when they function without regard for social norms
and values, and thereby weaken the fabric of social life.
