From Control to Free from Disturbance:Paradigm Shift of Privacy Protection in the Digital Age
The positive concept of privacy based on autonomous control is a contemporary para-digm for privacy protection,but this paradigm confuses and reverses the core values of privacy and appropriate strategies for its protection,and thus falls into the logical cycle of"the more control,the more infringement".The core values defended by privacy lie in personal dignity,self construction,and peaceful life,rather than possession,control,and self-determination.Its existence is negative,defensive,exclusive and embodied.We need to transform the paradigm of privacy protection,return to the original concept and human nature foundation of privacy protection,start from the passive pri-vacy concept of"free from disturbance",seek passive defense instead of autonomous control,aban-don laissez-faire disembodiment and shift towards personal embodiment,delineate clear boundaries and construct physical protection,develop embodied,personal and defensive privacy protection tech-nologies,institutional systems,and moral abilities,in order to better protect privacy.
