Q We are going to take a look at an excellent article by Neil Richards called the Four Privacy Myths. In this first "thread," let's focus on his first myth: Privacy is Dead. (You can download the article at https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2427808 (Links to an external site.) Read pages 1-13 for the section about this first myth.) What do you think?

After reading the article, I came to the conclusion that privacy is not dead. I came to this conclusion because as technology and social practices continue to advance, the way we handle privacy continues to adapt to those new advancements. This was further explained in this quote “Privacy was threatened, and the threat was tamed, though each time norms shifted, and the resulting society was less “private” than before, at least by the standards of the old social norms” (Richards, 5). Also, on page 8 Neil M. Richards’s states “As our information revolution develops, and new things become possible, we will likely develop new categories of privacy”.
