“Overdisclosure“ privacy problems
Tools (technological and otherwise) privacy solutions
Evaluation validation of tools
Tool types à la SPION
• Confidentiality
• Control
• Awareness of ...– „I am being tracked.“– „which audiences do I have (whom I could
give access)?“ e.g., FreeBu – „when I am thinking too small about this“

Slashdot article on[Jentzsch, Preibusch & Harasser, 2012]
Privacy is an individually owned and
tradeable good(as opposed to
a fundamental right or a social good)
Please argue with me about
• Let us not divide and conquer ourselves:– The standard (scientific ?!) distribution of work can be
a dangerous self-blinding and continued delegation of responsibility when it comes to problems like privacy.
– (Being forced to) being responsible is not only bad, but also part and parcel of being a human & a citizen.
• We need awareness (tools), but we also need to build– true private spaces– true public spaces
• “Privacy is not only about clicking Facebook.“
