Found this intriguing paper on #privacy. I only read the abstract and TOC so far, I may read more later. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/14ykp0a/public_discourse_on_privacy_suffers_from_a_narrow/ But I like the summary in one of the Reddit comments: [Begin excerpt, edited for readability] Might be helpful to reword these for different audiences. Consuming data for personal gratification – Section 2.1 = Bad people get off on reading or seeing your private stuff Generating coercive incentives – Section 2.2 = Bad people can use your private info to try and trick you Compliance monitoring – Section 2.3 = People will spy on you to make sure you are doing what THEY want Discrediting – Section 2.4 = Bad people will use your info against you to make you look stupid, or make you look like a liar Assessment and discrimination – Section 2.5 = Bad people will use your info to see if you 'measure up' to their standards, or may be racist and use your info against you Identification of personal weak spots – Section 2.6 = Bad people will steal your info and use it to find a weakness you might have and use it against you Personalized persuasion – Section 2.7 = Bad people will spy on you to get information to help them manipulate you into what they want Locating and physically accessing the data subject – Section 2.9 = Bad people will spy on you to find out where you are, were you go, your routines, etc. Contacting the data subject – Section 2.8 = Bad people will spy on you to send you scam calls or spam you Accessing protected domains or assets – Section 2.10 = Bad people will spy on you to learn about shit you own that they can steal. Reacting strategically to actions or plans of the data subject – Section 2.11 = bad people will CONTINUE to spy on you, so they can change plans to scam you better. [end excerpt]
