There is indeed some fuzziness in the definition of privacy. I like the analysis in this Pew Research Center study on "Public Perceptions of Privacy and Security in the Post-Snowden Era:" http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/11/12/public-privacy-perceptions/. I think they do a good job relating threats to privacy and threats to personal security. To quote: "Beyond the frequency of individual words, when responses are grouped into themes, the largest block of answers ties to concepts of security, safety, and protection. For many others, notions of secrecy and keeping things 'hidden' are top of mind when thinking about privacy." -- Christian Huitema _______________________________________________ ietf-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-privacy
