Research Accountability Post: Contextual Integrity

Let's explore contextual integrity (at a later date)

Contextual IntegrityPrivacy

Hi there, StreamThreats reader

This will be a very short post.

I've been reading about the concept of Contextual Integrity. I'll drop the Wikipedia definition really quickly:

Contextual integrity is a theory of privacy developed by Helen Nissenbaum and presented in her book Privacy in Context: Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life. It comprises four essential descriptive claims:

Privacy is provided by appropriate flows of information.

Appropriate information flows are those that conform to contextual information norms.

Contextual informational norms refer to five independent parameters: data subject, sender, recipient, information type, and transmission principle.

Conceptions of privacy are based on ethical concerns that evolve over time.

I'm going to synthesize this concept with my research on streaming.

Big things coming soon!


Stay Safe, enjoy your stay at StreamThreats.
