Discuss Core principles of communication privacy management referring to experience with WhatsApp groups and provide practical examples
1. People believe they own and have a right to control their private information
2. We control this through privacy rules
3. When we share, others become Co-owners of information
4.Co-owners need to negotiate mutually agreeable privacy rules about telling others
5. When these boundaries aren't effectively controlled or adhered, boundary turbulence results
One core principle of communication privacy management is that people believe they own and have a right to control their private information. This can be seen in WhatsApp groups, where users may feel a sense of ownership over the information they share within the group.
Another principle is that individuals control their private information through privacy rules. In a WhatsApp group, members may establish rules about what is and isn't allowed to be shared with others outside of the group.
When individuals share information, others become co-owners of that information. This can create a need for negotiation of mutually agreeable privacy rules about who can share the information with others outside of the group.
If these boundaries aren't effectively controlled or adhered to, boundary turbulence can result. This can happen if a member of the group shares information with someone outside of the group without permission, causing conflict and potentially harming the trust within the group.
A practical example of these principles in action in a WhatsApp group could be if a member shares a personal story with the group, expecting it to stay within the confines of the group. If another member then shares that story with someone who is not in the group, it could lead to boundary turbulence and a breach of trust within the group. In this case, the group may need to reevaluate their privacy rules and come to a mutual agreement on how to handle sensitive information in the future.
