Hmmm… Privacy is a very deeply cultural matters. I have lived in Europe, North America and Japan (and travelled a bit in other continents). That taught me that privacy is not about defining "abuse on contextual data". Privacy is about having the right mechanisms, tools to handle your data in the way that is respectful of your *own culture*. The benefit of taking a very operational and mechanical look at it avoid long debates on what is good or wrong, but to focus more on "Can I do/stop this or that with my data?". Example using a mobile phone with geolocation feature: Is there a mechanism to broadcast my geolocation information? Is there a mechanism to block my geolocation information? Is there a mechanism to share my geolocation with this and this person only? etc. -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada http://twitter.com/karlpro
