<< Within the context of these socio-cultural and linguistic
circumstances, insistence on the right to privacy as "the right to be
let alone" indicates a lack of cooperativeness as well as an inability
to communicate with others. The right to privacy, understood as "the
individual's right to control the circulation of information concerning
him or her", is considered a shameful excess of mistrust in relation
both to a cooperative society and to those who collect, store, share,
and use personal data. Consequently, the sense of a right to privacy is
foreign and less important to Japanese society than it is in Western
societies. >>
