Nudging Privacy: The Behavioural Economics of Personal Information by Alessandro Acquisti

Short paper about individual's preferences for privacy, how these can be conflicting and influenced by behavioural 'nudges' - describes how tech could implement those nudges for the benefit of society & individuals.

Discussion Qs:

  • Do the article's statements about peoples' preferences for privacy align with your existing views?
  • What are you views on the idea of nudging users towards certain sets of decisions? A related question might be who decides what those decisions should be.
