Abstract

It is commonly accepted that the use of personal information in business and government puts individual privacy at risk. However, little is known about these risks-for instance, whether and how they can be measured, and how they vary across social groups and the sectors in which personal data are used. Unless we can gain a purchase on such issues, our knowledge of the societal effects of information technology and systems will remain deficient, and the ability to make and implement better policies for privacy protection, and perhaps for a more equitable distribution of risk and protection, will remain impaired. The article explores this topic, examining conventional paradigms in data protection, including the one-dimensional view of the ''data subject,'' that inhibit better conceptualizations and practices. It looks at some comparative survey evidence that casts light on the question of the distribution of privacy risks and concerns. It examines theoretical issues in the literature on risk, raising questi...
隐私风险的分布:谁需要保护?
人们普遍认为,在商业和政府中使用个人信息会危及个人隐私。然而,人们对这些风险所知甚少——例如,是否以及如何衡量这些风险,以及这些风险在不同的社会群体和使用个人数据的部门之间是如何变化的。除非我们能在这些问题上有所作为,否则我们对信息技术和系统的社会影响的认识仍将不足,制定和实施更好的隐私保护政策的能力,以及更公平地分配风险和保护的能力,将继续受到损害。本文探讨了这个主题,考察了数据保护中的传统范式,包括“数据主体”的一维视图,这些范式阻碍了更好的概念化和实践。它着眼于一些比较调查证据,这些证据阐明了隐私风险和担忧的分布问题。它考察了风险文献中的理论问题,提出了问题……
