"Some writers, such as Westin, introduce the element of “control”, defining privacy in terms of the extent to which individuals have “control” over, for example, the flow of information about themselves. Gavison however argues convincingly against introducing the element of “control” at the definitional stage, where the aim should be to formulate a neutral “descriptive” definition that does not pre-empt questns about the “value” of privacy, such as the question of when society, and the law, should respect and enforce an individual's privacy choices. Of course, as Gibbs points out, the notion of “control” is not always applicable, even in the context of discussing a “right” to privacy, since it is not possible for individuals to have control over all thhe ways in which they may suffer a loss of privacy against their wishes. The next quesiton is whether society hould recognise an individal “right” to privacy, by which we mean that a person should be able to choose the degree to hich he or she is assessible to tohers; that as far as possible, a person should have “control” over their accessibility to others and where control is not possible, that others should refrain from gaining access to that person against their wishes."
