The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether there has been a change in attitude of newspaper editors toward privacy matters. The study examines a 1976 survey of editors on some specific situations involving privacy and compares that survey with one done for this paper in the spring of 1983. The study also seeks to determine whether such factors as circulation size, type of readership and political philosophy have any influence on privacy decisions made by editors. The study shows that there has been a change in attitudes. A chi square test showed that the comparison of the two surveys was significant at .01. Figures gathered to determine influences on privacy decisions were scattered among many categories and too small to be statistically significant.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Johannesburg, 2017 / This research investigates real names, pseudonyms, and anonymity online. From its small beginning as a research tool, the internet has grown radically and been increasingly incorporated into people’s daily lives. Simultaneously, as the internet has grown and changed, so have its uses, and perceptions of the naming practices used on it. Attitudes towards acceptable name use online have changed over time. Social networking sites have had a strong influence on name usage policies. This research examines how these attitudes have changed, and the implications of real names, pseudonyms and anonymity for behaviour on the internet and privacy. The radically disembodied nature of online communication lends itself to disinhibition, which in turn has resulted in online communications’ reputation for trolls and abusers. Contrary to the common assumption that the use of real names offline indicates the legitimacy of using real names online, online and offline communications are radically different. Online communications have very different considerations regarding privacy, identity theft, the digital footprint, and collapsed context, many of which are not present in offline communications. This paper examines naming policies and site structure through two case studies. The first case focuses on News24 and the Daily Maverick, both of which are South African news sites. Due to the need for rational and polite discourse, these implemented real name policies in order to enforce good behaviour amongst their users. In both cases, the real name policies failed. The second case study is that of 4chan, the American image board site. 4chan does not require any login process, and its users are typically anonymous. Despite being notorious for trolls, illegal content, and its image board /b/, the site’s architecture, along with the way that posts are created and then kept alive, mean that the site can be effective at moderating the kinds of content that it deems appropriate for each of its boards. Despite the contrasting nature and purposes of the news sites and 4chan, there are lessons to be learnt from the failure of real name policies, and the architecture and set up of sites which can be used to enforce particular behaviours. Furthermore, despite the ephemeral and shifting nature of 4chan, identity and a sense of belonging remain important to its users, hinting at the importance of a sense of identity to site members and the role of this identity in ensuring that users adhere to the norms. / XL2018

Therefore, a multidisciplinary study will be done, starting from psychoanalysis, religion, philosophy and history, as well as the conflict will be analyzed from a broad meaning of law, which does not abandon the State law as the protagonist, but sees the other structural spaces of capitalist societies. We will depart from the approach and response by the State law to the conflicts to, at the end, seek an interaction with other existent right forms, especially the systemic right, the community's right and domestic's right, aiming a balance between memory and oblivion that presents effectiveness with emancipation / O objetivo do presente trabalho é estudar o conflito existente entre a memória e o esquecimento, com o intuito de buscar o fundamento para a existência de um direito ao esquecimento. Para tanto, será feito um estudo multidisciplinar, a partir da psicanálise, religião, filosofia e história, bem como será analisado o conflito a partir de uma acepção ampla de direito, que não abandona o direito estatal como protagonista, mas enxerga os demais espaços estruturais das sociedades capitalistas. Partiremos da abordagem e resposta dada pelo direito estatal aos conflitos ocorridos para, ao final, buscar uma interação com as demais formas de direito existentes, especialmente o direito sistêmico, o direito da comunidade e o direito doméstico, objetivando um equilíbrio entre memória e esquecimento que apresente efetividade com emancipação
