When we talk in privacy online, it is easy to limit the discussion to something that can be described as "anti-plays." But privacy is a concept much more diverse and important than that. In general, we can speak seven different intimacies, each important to our civil liberties from different angles.
There are seven different major types of intimacies. We're talking about privacy body, correspondence, data, finance, identity, location, and territory . Let's take a look at each of them.
The Vie Corps means that your body is your own, and government officials can not examine or invade without your consent. The word "invade" here does not mean sexual violence, it is much more mundane than that - the power take a blood sample by puncture your skin, for example, is a clear invasion of your body. Examining your bloodstream for undesirable substances is also an example of violation of your right to privacy body . By extension, your thoughts and emotions are also part of privacy body before they spoke to someone, while you are thinking and feeling them.
confidentiality of correspondence is what we usually talk about when we discuss in online privacy. The sealed letter analogue is a secular law that businesses and politicians erode we make the jump to digital communications, and we must defend. confidentiality of correspondence means two things: one, that you have an absolute right to communicate privately with anyone, without anyone listening without your consent, and two, your choice who to contact - be a person or a machine like Wikipedia - is private
confidentiality of data is related to the jump to digital .. There is privacy of your calendar your home that are not shared with anyone. Photos, documents, data. Today, computers have very little protection in law against search and seizure, despite the fact that they are much more private than newsprint of a teenager. This must be taken into account. Meanwhile, we protect ourselves with full disk encryption utilities such as TrueCrypt and various flavors of GNU / Linux that have such full disk encryption out of the box.
An interesting renaissance is on the way to Life Finance as bitcoin continues to take root. It used to be that banking secrecy meant that no one - not even the government - allowed an overview of your personal finances: wealth, debt, spending, revenues. Gradually said the government changed the laws to give full access to not only look into your economy, but also to change the will to power - enter the taxes due, for example, without any action on your part. Bitcoin the technology holds the promise to restore the banking secret to what it was, but without any help (or consent, for that matter) from banks or government.
Often overlooked, our confidentiality of the identity is our right to go about our daily lives anonymous - the absence of a "papers, please" society. As we have seen political demands for increasingly strong identity cards, and seeming safety of air travel that gradually poisons privacy, one of the greatest threats to privacy that is another: it is the proliferation of CCTV cameras that create a network of cameras, that when taken together, is essentially capable of recording all our footstep outside our door.
Related to CCTVs, our Location Life is right for us to be where we want no part of the government's knowledge. This privacy was basically eliminated post-01 as our mobile phones have been transformed into government monitoring devices via data retention laws, and we must take this back privacy. (For what it looks like cooling illustration when your every move is recorded, check the Malta experience Spitz.)
Finally, our Territory Life is our right not having our home invaded by government force. This goes beyond our house, though - we take a small part of our territory with us as we walk and move. Pockets, purses, the content of our car - are all part of privacy of the territory
In a healthy society, the seven intimacies can not be violated by dedicated application units of the Act before and person suspicion of identified and serious crime. easily put, it means that the wiretap cover is a cover violation of rights. Most importantly, it also means that it is not the job of everyone to do the police work for them, just because they are on a public paycheck
In the future, it may be necessary to expand that list -. For example, the intimacies of thought and emotion are currently considered parts of the privacy of your body. But if emotion drives - or just highlight the players that are not so far - become commonplace, it may be necessary to fight for privacy on many fronts these seven
But until -There it is important to keep. remember that these seven intimacies are important, and we must fight for each of them, every day.
