    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Privacy norms vary radically by context (doctor-patient vs. workplace); universal control rules cannot capture this complexity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.People often want information shared appropriately within contexts (medical records among doctors) but not across them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Focusing on individual control ignores power imbalances where vulnerable people cannot meaningfully consent to information flows.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Context-based norms are vague and contestable; individuals need clear, enforceable control mechanisms to protect themselves.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Contextual integrity assumes shared norms exist, but modern data ecosystems create novel contexts where norms remain unestablished.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.De-emphasizing individual control underestimates how personal autonomy itself—choosing what about oneself becomes known—matters intrinsically.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
