Those software systems are often mindbogglingly complex and l…

Drawing on recent literature on…

Viewed in this way, privacy is necessarily contextual and complex because norms about appropriate flows and use of personal information are socially negotiated and often contested. (Nissenbaum, 2009) Privacy is thus a problem of collective action. Moreover, pers…
