Corporate appropriation of privacy: The transformation of the personal and public spheres
Ethics and Behavior 7 (3):239 – 252 (1997)
| Abstract | The primary thesis of this article is that the rights and powers of corporations--to collect, recombine, and resell personal data--have accrued in such a way as to fundamentally circumvent traditional and conventional conceptions of privacy, especially with respect to the sphere of informational privacy. In so doing, informational capitalism has also altered in fundamental ways the public and social sphere itself, the sphere through which one might expect these corporate forces and uses of technology to be controlled. | |||||||||
