| dcterms.abstract | The dominant approach in privacy theory defines information privacy as individual control over personal information. Against this view, I argue that the idea of controlling personal information is both incoherent and impracticable. That is because personal information is indistinguishable from non-personal information, and information (of any kind) is nearly impossible to control. Instead of understanding information privacy exclusively in terms of information control, I argue that we ought to think more broadly about the ways people use information to shape how others perceive and understand who they are—what I call " social self-authorship.†In addition to trying to control which particular pieces of information about us other people have, we work to contextualize and guide the interpretation of that information. I argue that our capacity to do that is central to our ability to draw interpersonal boundaries, and that our ability to draw such boundaries is a necessary condition for social and political agency. In order to protect information privacy in the Information Age, we therefore have to respect what I call norms of “hermeneutic privacy.†I articulate those norms, and I discuss how they might be realized in technology design, technology education, and technology law. | |
