Concepts

Useful framework for privacy lifted from Eben Moglen:

  • privacy as secrecy (when you want to keep something hidden, for personal or professional reasons)
  • privacy as anonymity (when you want to be completely unknown, "start fresh", or get lost amongst the crowd)
  • privacy as autonomy (freedom to innovate, speak, experiment without fear of surveillance)
