People believe that privacy violations should be punished — and quite stringently. There are interesting survey results in a new report by Chris Hoofnagle, Jennifer King, Su Li, and Joseph Turow, How Different are Young Adults from Older Adults When it Comes to Information Privacy Attitudes and Policies?
The report focuses primarily on comparing the attitudes of the young with older people and concluding that there isn’t much of a divergence. I blogged about it here.
