Abstract

Connectivity builds bridges between individuals’ private space and threatens notions of identity and privacy. While the notion of privacy as anonymity is relatively new from a historical point of view, the constitutional guarantees pertain to lines of control over what we share, when we share and with whom we share. Anonymity implies the absence of any form of identity so the requirement is not one of erasing identity but rather preserving that identity in a secure and undisturbed form. People don’t want to vanish into obscurity, they want to be known as obscure, private individuals. There is, however, the reality that DCT has swamped our ability to create privacy shields and that transparency may be the new normal.
