情绪通常与亲密和开放相关。对隐私的渴望似乎与这些相关的情感特征相矛盾。情感上的亲密意味着失去一些隐私，而保持更大程度的隐私会阻止我们情感上的亲密。同样，高度的开放性会危及我们的隐私并可能对我们造成伤害，而高度的隐私性又会降低我们的开放性。我在这里认为，隐私与情感亲密之间以及隐私与开放之间的冲突在网络空间中要弱得多。网络空间的相对匿名性以及控制我们希望透露哪些事项的能力使我们能够保护我们的隐私，同时增加情感上的亲密和开放。事实上，隐私本身的性质在网络空间中已经发生了重大变化，因为许多通常保密的事务往往在网络空间中进行讨论。网络上更加封闭和开放的趋势导致了对羞耻本质的重新定义，就像隐私一样，它与我们想要维护的基本价值观息息相关。隐私的特征是不受干扰、不受审查或评论的情况下开展活动的权利。为什么这样的权利很重要？为什么我们想要一个人呆着，没有其他人的关注或关注？简单的答案是，这种审查可能会伤害我们，因为它可能与我们所持有的某些价值观或对我们重要的其他人所持有的价值观相冲突。然而，虽然我们希望保护自己的隐私，但我们也希望通过表达我们真实的情感态度来与他人保持亲密和开放的关系，从而在关系中培养诚实。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Emotions are typically associated with closeness and openness. The desire for privacy seems to contradict these related emotional features. Being emotionally close means losing some of our privacy, and maintaining a greater degree of privacy prevents us from being emotionally close. Similarly, great openness endangers our privacy and may cause us harm, and a great degree of privacy decreases our openness. I will argue here that the conflicts between privacy and emotional closeness and between privacy and openness are considerably weaker in cyberspace. The relative anonymity of cyberspace and the ability to control which matters we wish to reveal allow us to safeguard our privacy while increasing emotional closeness and openness. In fact, the nature of privacy itself has undergone a significant change in cyberspace since many matters that are usually kept private tend to be discussed in cyberspace. The greater tendency toward closeness and openness online has led to a redefinition of the nature of shame, which like privacy is connected to fundamental values that we want to safeguard. Privacy is characterized as the right to be left alone, to be allowed to pursue one's activities without interference, scrutiny or comment. Why is such a right important? Why do we want to be left alone without having the focus or attention of other people trained on us? The simple answer is that such scrutiny can harm us as it may conflict with some of the values that we hold, or that other people significant to us hold. However, while we wish to guard our privacy, we also want to be close and open with others by expressing our genuine emotional attitudes through which honesty is developed in a relationship.
