Abstract

The article focuses on the justification of criticisms against privacy norms. It talks about the relativity of privacy and the contradictory norms concerning its justification within their respective contexts. The interpretations of arguments on criticisms showing that the second class of privacy-limiting acts committed by others are too large or too narrow are discussed. The article also explores the relationship between harm and certain privacy-limiting acts and the typical reasons for the lack of privacy.
