Privacy is about much broader values than just “hiding things.” . . . [U]ltimately the fullest retort to the “nothing to hide” impulse is a richer philosophical defense of privacy that articulates its importance to human life—the human need for a refuge from the eye of the community, and from the self-monitoring that living with others entails; the need for space in which to play and to try out new ideas, identities, and behaviors, without lasting consequences; and the importance of maintaining the balance of power between individuals and the state.

In broadening the online privacy conversation to include more nuanced perspectives and definitions, scholars claim that we rise to the occasion and bring light to all the complex seriousness of online privacy issues in the United States. Irina Raicu (2017), director of the Internet Ethics program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, claims that “In addressing issues such as the balance of power between individuals and the state, weighing the benefits and harms that result from a particular privacy-related practice, or considering whether privacy is a right that must be respected, you are engaging in a process of ethical analysis.” Because there have been no resolutions in the online privacy debate, the conversation will continue until a side wins, for privacy concerns, both online and offline, directly impact the present and the future of multiple generations.
