This document discusses privacy challenges in design and ways to address them. It notes that privacy settings are often static while sharing decisions are contextual, and people do not always understand who they are sharing with. The goals are to avoid surprise, regret, and lack of intimacy for users while empowering them. Specifically, the document aims to help those concerned with privacy, vulnerable users, and those who are unsophisticated or irrational in their sharing. Some potential solutions proposed are providing feedback through social cues, preventing creeping people out, clearly communicating the audience, and allowing for ephemerality and forgetting of shared content.
