On May 3, 2024, Prof. Dr. Karoline Reinhardt gave a talk on "Privacy, Consent, and Diversity" at the Philosophical Perspectives on Privacy Workshop, held at LMU, at the invitation of Prof. Dr. Laura Valentini. In her presentation, Prof. Dr. Reinhardt presented the initial findings of the BMBF project "Diversity-appropriate privacy protection in digital environments" (DiversPrivat). This project is dedicated to ethically systematizing the diverse privacy needs of various vulnerable groups, such as children, adolescents, senior citizens, people with migration backgrounds, and individuals with cognitive impairments.

A core aim of the project is to raise awareness about the risks associated with the disclosure of private data, thereby helping to prevent potential negative consequences. The project focuses on developing effective mechanisms, such as attention-grabbing signals and visual overlays, to prevent users from hastily consenting to data collection. Additionally, the project investigates whether the perception of privacy intrusions can be made instinctively tangible, with the goal of strengthening intuitive behaviors that protect privacy.

The workshop also featured presentations on "The Source View on the Right to Privacy" by Leonhard Menghes, "Reflections on Privacy" by Niko Kolodny, and "Rethinking Oppressive Shame and Shame’s Relationship to Privacy Interest" by Euan Allison.
