I have long thought that compartmentalization was a realistic, and indeed the best technique for an individual to avoid privacy breaches when using the Internet in their day-to-day lives. However, recently I was talking with a student who practiced compartmentalization in her everyday life, and yet still fell victim to a privacy violation. Despite being a computer science student with plenty of technical knowledge and hands-on privacy experience, she still fell victim to a privacy violation referred to as accidental outing.
