a. What is the article all about?
The article discusses the importance of protecting privacy in a technology-driven world. It highlights a
legal case where an individual’s privacy was violated due to misuse of her image online. The article
emphasizes the role of laws like GDPR in protecting privacy and introduces the concepts of Privacy by
Design (PbD) and privacy engineering as methods to incorporate privacy protection into the design and
implementation of systems and technologies.
b. Explain how privacy by design and privacy engineering operate together.
Privacy by Design (PbD) is an approach where privacy measures are integrated into the design of
systems from the start. Privacy engineering applies this approach by developing specific tools,
techniques, and metrics to ensure that privacy protections are built into systems effectively. Essentially,
PbD is the overarching principle, while privacy engineering provides the practical methods and
frameworks to implement this principle in technology.
c. Do you agree with the article? Why or why not?
Yes, I agree with the article. It correctly emphasizes the need for privacy protections in technology and
the importance of integrating privacy measures into system design. Privacy by Design and privacy
engineering are crucial for addressing privacy concerns proactively rather than reactively, thus helping
to prevent issues like unauthorized misuse of personal data.
