Abstract
Individualists, communitarians, and technological determinists agree that privacy´s benefits accrue to individuals, and that its costs (in terms of less security or efficiency) fall on society. As such, it is the individual´s choice to give privacy away. However, privacy does benefit wider society in important respects, and so this consensus is flawed.
