The scope of this literature review is to map out what is currently understood about the intersections of youth, reputation, and privacy online, focusing on youth attitudes and practices. We summarize both key empirical studies from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and the legal issues involved in regulating privacy and reputation. This project includes studies of children, teenagers, and younger college students. For the purposes of this document, we use “teenagers” or “adolescents” to refer to young people ages 13-19; children are considered to be 0-12 years old. However, due to a lack of large-scale empirical research on this topic, and the prevalence of empirical studies on college students, we selectively included studies that discussed age or included age as a variable. Due to language issues, the majority of this literature covers the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Canada.

Privacy is not about control over data nor is it a property of data.  It's about a collective understanding of a social situation's boundaries and knowing how to operate within them.  In other words, it’s about having control over a situation. It's about understanding the audience and knowing how far information will flow.  It’s about trusting the people, the situating, and the context.  People seek privacy so that they can make themselves vulnerable in order to gain something: personal support, knowledge, friendship, etc.

1) Security Through Obscurity Is a Reasonable Strategy 2) Not All Publicly Accessible Data is Meant to be Publicized 3) People Who Share PII Aren’t Rejecting Privacy 4) Aggregating and Distributing Data Out of Context is a Privacy Violation 5) Privacy is Not Access Control

Social norms can and are changing, but that doesn't mean that privacy has been thrown out the door. People care deeply about privacy, care deeply about maintaining context.  But they also care about publicity, or the right to walk out in public and be seen. 

Persönliche Identität entsteht nicht als Entfaltung und Anreicherung eines inneren Kerns, sondern in der tätigen Aneignung der eigenen Lebenswelt. Die Idee vom "wahren Selbst", das sich in der sozialen Realität bloß entäußert und verwirklicht, ist ein Mythos. Wer wir sind, erfahren wir erst im kommunikativen Austausch mit Anderen, in der Interaktion mit unserer Umwelt.

Kein Wort zur global vernetzten Mediengesellschaft mit ihren Spiegel- und Resonanzräumen für "reflexive" Identitätsbildung.

What do we think a “computer” is? I like to contrast three dominant metaphors or paradigms: PERSON, TOOL, MEDIA.
