Abstract:
The problem of boundaries detecting and individual private space protecting in the Internet is considered. In this work, the judgment is substantiated that total penetration of Internet technologies into public life and relationships increases the impact of various risk factors on the sphere of confidentiality and privacy of a person, which leads to the evolution of the very concept of privacy. It is suggested that understanding the evolution of the sphere of privacy in a digital society is crucial for understanding the problem of protecting a person’s personal boundaries. The necessity of finding a balance between the individual human right to privacy and the public demand for the protection of this right is shown. An assumption has been made about the possible effectiveness of the application of I. Altman’s theory describing the process of establishing the boundaries of confidentiality at the level of individual behavior to regulate the sphere of personal security protection in the Internet space.
