Solove quotes “data-security expert” (par. 1) Bruce Schneier to make explicit a commonly held assumption, that privacy is “about hiding a wrong” (par. 9).

Are “one’s race, birth date, gender, address, or marital status [not] particularly sensitive, ” as Solove asserts (par. 6)? Can you think of situations in which this kind of information could be used to injure someone?

Solove counters the assumption that privacy is about bad things by stating that this assumption is not the only way to think about privacy. What alternatives does he offer? Are they convincing to you?
