Privacy in the digital age means a lot of things to
a lot of people. Some people fret about the privacy
controls on social networks, some worry about the
companies that track their online behavior, and
others are concerned about government surveillance.
We asked a diverse group of panelists how much our
readers should worry about the vast array of privacy
threats.

ps: I love the illustration.
One of the important points of the article
DR. BOYD: Positioning privacy and publicness in
opposition is a false dichotomy. People want privacy,
and they want to be able to participate in public. This
is why I think it's important to emphasize that privacy
is not about controlling information, but about having
the ability to control a social situation. People want
to share and they gain a, lot from sharing. But that's
different than saying that people want to be exposed by
others.
