Privacy is an incredibly elusive concept, partly because no one can agree on what constitutes an invasion of privacy.

Specifically, it does not address breach of privacy, a concept that is still disagreed

Ultimately, the utility of the service outweighs the privacy concerns of a small group of people. This paper outlines the privacy rights of United States citizens regarding Street View, what Google has done to address privacy concerns, and then offers a recommendation on whether Google has done enough to address these privacy concerns.

According to Amy Adele Hasinoff and Tamara Shepherd’s article “Sexting in Context: Privacy norms and Expectations” (2014) the modern Internet is seen by many as the place where privacy goes to die. With youth at the forefront as the ones quickest to jump on social media and the first ones blamed for the decline of society and moral values.

fact that the town endures zero privacy (everyone knows everyone’s business), expectations, and people seem to be going through the motions of life, and he does not intend to idealize Grover’s Corners as an establishment of uncompromising brotherly love. Wilder makes a point to include in the play characters who criticize small town life, and Grover’s Corners specifically. I believe that Our Town is a criticism of small town life because there is no personal privacy and people go through life hoping
