Promoted to curated: I think the consequences of privacy and how to navigate is a topic that isn’t covered well enough on LessWrong. A lot of information I interact with these days is confidential, and I’ve had to do a lot of work to figure out good norms and rules about how to navigate these situations, and have seen many people get into quite a bit of conflict over differing norms around privacy. I think this post covers one of the most important norms/questions in this space, which is to allow open and transparent communication about those differing norms.
