"Privacy's contribution to advancing a broad range of social and political values in stressed by David Feldman, “Privacy-Related Rights and their Social Value,” in Peter Birks, op. Cit. n 34. Feldman asserts that: “Privacy in its sociable form helps us the define and then to defend the social spheres in which we work or play with others. These spheres are more important than those fields in which we operate without others, and are very significantly more valuable than those areas in which we work selfishly against others” (at 22). Nonetheless, when it comes to identifying criteria to determine the scope and limitations on privacy rights Feldman adumbrates a list of distinctly liberal autonomy/harm principle considerations *at 24-5). Since my argument for an autonomy-”based” right to privacy leaves room for social, communal and collective aspects of privacy, there is perhaps little material distance between Feldman's position and mine, though I remain doubtful of aspects of his theoretical analysis."
