Dekortage writes "The New York Times has a piece up about the paradox of privacy: "normally sane people have inconsistent and contradictory impulses and opinions when it comes to their safeguarding their own private information." More specifically, it's all how you ask: if you don't talk about privacy, people won't worry about it. In one survey, "when the issue of confidentiality was raised, participants clammed up. For example, 25 percent of the students who were given a strong assurance of confidentiality admitted to having copied someone else's homework. Among those given no assurance of confidentiality, more than half admitted to it."" Link to Original Source
