secrecy and trust

collective information practices an alternative framing from privacy and security… … to collective information practices practice “practice is, first and foremost, a process by which we find the world and our encounters with it as meaningful” (Wenger) meaning-in-use as a collective phenomenon

technological development a change of tack how is practice enacted and sustained? technology as a platform for information practice helping people “do” privacy three design principles no normative distinction visualizing system activity integrating configuration & action

summary information practices privacy is not an abstract goal it is a way in which social action is achieved a fruitful avenue for design technology as a platform for practical action how practice is sustained and developed
