To achieve such a balance, technological means should be developed. The paper illustrates some of the inherent problems in database privacy that should be addressed by technical solutions. It next demonstrates that the notion of privacy is complex; this complexity is likely to impede development of technical solutions. Finally, the paper finally uses the notion of informed consent to illustrate how the privacy problem can be viewed from multiple angles to flesh out the underlying problems that may be addressed by technical solutions.
