I think many discourses about the digital are lead as privacy discourses because privacy is thought as individualized and property which super fits the neoliberal world view where everything is tied to individuals and what they have.
"My data", "my privacy", "my right" shapes a discourse that sometimes makes sense but somehow forgets that human beings are essentially social and connected.
I kinda hesitate to re-tackle the issue just cause it kinda burned me and my name for years. But it's sad to see digital debates locked in that narrow a corridor.
Maybe what's mostly missing is a value or a label that is as strong as privacy (as an individualist concept) but focuses on the sorts of community and connection that create the social. But most words that would work there have been co-opted by corporate PR.
