Podcamp 2010 Defaulting Privacy
The document discusses privacy in the context of social networks and sharing personal information online. It notes that privacy means different things to different people and that attitudes towards privacy vary across generations. As online activity has increased, social networks have evolved to default to public sharing of information over private to support advertising-based business models. However, this has occurred without meaningful input from users. The document argues that individuals should play a role in establishing social norms around privacy through education, empowerment, and open discussion to influence how privacy is approached by technology companies and social networks.
