===Information dissemination=== {{blockquote|Count not him among your friends who will retail your privacies to the world.|[[Publilius Syrus]]}} Information dissemination is an attack on privacy when information which was shared in confidence is shared or threatened to be shared in a way that harms the subject of the information.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} There are various examples of this.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Breach of confidentiality is when one entity promises to keep a person's information private, then breaks that promise.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Disclosure is making information about a person more accessible in a way that harms the subject of the information, regardless of how the information was collected or the intent of making it available.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Exposure is a special type of disclosure in which the information disclosed is emotional to the subject or taboo to share, such as revealing their private life experiences, their nudity, or perhaps private body functions.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Increased accessibility means advertising the availability of information without actually distributing it, as in the case of [[doxing]].{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Blackmail is making a threat to share information, perhaps as part of an effort to coerce someone.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Appropriation is an attack on the [[personhood]] of someone, and can include using the value of someone's reputation or likeness to advance interests which are not those of the person being appropriated.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}} Distortion is the creation of misleading information or lies about a person.{{sfn|Solove|2010|pp=104β05}}
