Never has privacy been so productive, so profitable, and so entertaining... 

...Other than it being a genuine concern for many individuals and communities, privacy has also become a productive field in itself. By now, our digital every day life is full of privacy by-products: privacy policies, privacy settings, privacy language, privacy reports, privacy rankings, privacy films, privacy tools, privacy legislation, privacy conferences, privacy festivals, etc. These products are brought to life most often by so called "experts": privacy researchers, privacy lawyers, privacy commissions, privacy activists, and sometimes by others like privacy bloggers and everyday users. These persons and products mediate our experience of digital privacy and are there to respond in one way or another to our privacy concerns. During my presentation, I would like to take some time to share my personal archive of privacy by-products in the domain of social networks and take these as a starting point for a discussion on how to engage in the privacy machinery.
