Computer Privacy

One author defines privacy as freedom from inappropriate use of judgement of others.

a.) Is this a good definition why or why not?
b.) Suppose we use this definition do we have a negative rights or do we have a positive rights? why or why not?

It is the ability of an individual or group to keep their lives and personal affairs out of public view, or to control the flow of information about themselves. - wikipedia.com

For the author he defines privacy as freedom from inappropriate use of judgement of others I think its is not a good definition for the word. Privacy is something like to be alone or a freedom for unauthorized intrusions. I don't think that in engaging in our privacy we don't judge other people in some other kind. I think the right word for his definition is the word criticism.

With this definition I thinks we will still have our negative rights and positive rights because a positive right imposes a moral obligation on a person to do something for someone, while a negative right merely obliges others to refrain from interfering with someones attempt to do something. This means that our positive rights are those those rights that are standard to our obligations to the society thus in negative rights, one is considered free to the extent to which no person interferes with his or her activity. for example right to property or right of freedom as long as you don't hurt anybody.

Privacy has no definite boundaries and it has different meanings for different people. Privacy for any people is very important it includes their important information that they their self must only know and it is unethical for people who disturb their privacy.
