Framing privacy as "decision-making" is useful when dealing with privacy 
settings/policies and user interfaces -- this is actually a usual definition of 
privacy in HCI (see, eg, the work from Cranor or Acquisti on feedback and 
awareness, privacy nudges, etc.). 

I would however think that it is too restrictive (and potentially misleading) 
when addressing privacy considerations more generally, and particularly in 
protocols that the individual does not necessarily understand in detail.
