Abstract

Part of the impasse in current privacy discussions consists of a tension between privacy understood as an individual good and privacy understood as collective value. By analyzing the predictive logic of big data, its attendant harms to user autonomy and possible avenues of resistance, this paper offers a fresh argument for reconceptualizing privacy as a public good.
