“…This also corroborates another point, namely, that the privacy paradoxwhich assumes that there is no relevant relation between privacy concerns and online behavior (Gerber et al, 2018) is most likely false (Dienlin, 2019). The GDPR and the CPRA were also passed because of growing concerns that have been expressed by citizens in the respective countries and regions (European Commission, 2015).…”

Abstract. Privacy is a hotly debated topic in academia and society. The digitalization of our world has had enormous implications for our privacy. Some researchers and public figures agree that privacy has changed substantially, that we are living in a post-privacy world, and that we need to address privacy differently. Conversely, others maintain that privacy remains a relevant concept in our society, and that, although facets and degrees of privacy change, the conceptual core and societal relevance remain unchanged and intact. In this paper, we discuss the current state and future of privacy, presenting two opposing stances on four central questions: Has privacy changed? Is privacy dead? Have we lost control over our own privacy? How should we react? With this dialogue we hope to provide an overview of current positions on privacy by presenting divergent lines of reasoning and thinking, while outlining potential paths forward.

“…Such regulatory and legislative efforts can, thus, push new global standards of online privacy and contribute to the empowerment of users. This also corroborates another point, namely, that the privacy paradox -which assumes that there is no relevant relation between privacy concerns and online behavior (Gerber et al, 2018) -is most likely false (Dienlin, 2019).

Privacy is a hotly debated topic in academia and society. The digitalization of our world has had enormous implications for privacy. Many researchers and public figures agree that privacy has changed substantially, that we are living in a post-privacy world, and that we need to address privacy differently. Others maintain that privacy remains a relevant concept – although facets and degrees of privacy have changed, its conceptual core and societal relevance have stayed the same. In this paper, we discuss the state and future of privacy, presenting two opposing stances on four central questions. Has privacy changed? Is privacy dead? Have we lost control over privacy? How should we react? With this dialogue we provide an overview of current positions on privacy, discussing divergent lines of reasoning and thinking, while also suggesting potential ways to move forward.

“…What is more likely to be correct, the privacy calculus model or the privacy paradox approach? If understood deterministically, both understandings are mutually exclusive (Dienlin, 2019). If behavior is paradoxical, then it cannot be rational.…”

“…Arguably, the most prominent (albeit indirect and implicit) challenge of the privacy calculus is the privacy paradox (Barnes, 2006). 2 Both approaches are incompatible (Dienlin, 2019). Whereas the privacy calculus starts from the premise that individuals are largely rational and that their online privacy behavior is hence not paradoxical, the privacy paradox considers people's behavior as nonrational and paradoxical.…”

The privacy calculus states that before disclosing personal information online, people engage in a rudimentary tradeoff by comparing expected benefits with anticipated costs. If benefits exceed costs, people are more likely to self-disclose. In this chapter I present the privacy calculus’ theoretical underpinnings and empirical implementations. Focusing on the privacy paradox, I discuss how the privacy calculus is challenged from other perspectives. I counter these critiques by adopting a meta-position, building on general psychological models of behavior and a philosophy of science perspective. In asking which of the two competing models (i.e., privacy calculus vs. privacy paradox) seems more likely in light of the available data, I introduce a Bayesian approach to the discussion. I also briefly discuss the privacy calculus from a political perspective: Although behavior is (at least somewhat) rational on the level of the individual level, the situation is different on the societal level. I end with a new take on the privacy calculus, namely a probabilistic privacy calculus model. I argue that it is more fruitful to pursue the perspective of the privacy calculus instead of the privacy paradox, acknowledging relevant limitations and outlining promising paths for future research.
