‘The Privacy Paradox’ refers to the observation that many people say that they value their privacy highly, yet in behavior they give away data with very little resistance (or fail use measures to protect their privacy).
Daniel J. Solove, creator of the privacy taxonomy referred to in this lesson, has written a fascinating paper called ‘The Myth of the Privacy Paradox’. Solove writes:
The Privacy Paradox is a myth because it combines two things that are different: behavior and attitudes. Behavior is about assessing risk in particular contexts. In fact, one reason people might be more happy to share data is because of increased legal protections around privacy. Conversely, attitudes about privacy concerns (and how much privacy is valued), are more general.
