Mental privacy
Protection against hidden profiling, emotional exploitation, deceptive personalization, and unnecessary inference used to steer lawful thought.
Definition
Mental privacy limits how systems infer and operationalize private mental states. The concern is not ordinary personalization itself but covert, unnecessary, or coercive inference that becomes a channel of behavioral control.
Also used here as: bounded inference, cognitive privacy.
Why it matters
A system that knows how to influence a user can exercise power without issuing a visible command. Privacy therefore belongs inside cognitive liberty rather than being treated only as a data-retention issue.
