Conflict between individual and personal communication and self control of privacy

Abstract

Historically privacy is seen as a way to protect the freedom of consciousness, relegating to the private sphere the exercise of freedom, so this is achieved through the fact that the person has your own privacy. The privacy has an instrumental value to the service of freedom. Moreover, freedom itself also has an instrumental value, since privacy is something that can also be revealed in the public space, and for this it is necessary that there is freedom of expression (as extrinsic condition of the communication of private matters). But privacy is also revealed in the absence of freedom as an intrinsic condition in certain situations in the act of communication. In this paper we compare between voluntary and involuntary communication of the privacy, and we emphasize the conflict that exist because the privacy is communicated involuntary, the person want to avoid this, and not achieve.
