ABSTRACT
Privacy has always been conceptualized as social. But only lately and particularly with reference to social media have so many different terms emerged, such as group privacy, relational privacy, interpersonal privacy, networked privacy, and collective privacy. In this chapter, Sabine Trepte disentangles these terms, defines each of them, and reviews how they have been applied in privacy research and practice. Most importantly, this chapter sheds light on avenues to broaden and further build on these approaches around social privacy in future privacy research, policymaking, and lawmaking as well as privacy design.
