Online Privacy - No Longer Playing Catch-up?
Abstract
It may come to pass that 2013 will be regarded as the year that the general public sat up and took notice of online privacy. The Australian Information Commissioner advised earlier this year that “2013 is shaping up to be the biggest year for privacy in over 20 years”. As the year drew to a close, a number of major publications including the New York Times, Forbes and the Guardian heralded 2013 as a pivotal moment in the evolution of privacy, particularly online. Dictionary.com went so far as to name privacy as its “word of the year”.
