This last underlying category demonstrates the temporal nature of privacy,
that time can be not only a healer but that a lack of time can agitate the immediacy
of the unpleasant emotion. Time, then, is a fundamental privacy
process. Privacy preferences are said to be different for different situations,
contexts, and points in time, and desired privacy fluctuates over time
(Altman, 1975; DeCew, 1997; Petronio, 2002; Westin, 2003). The data from
these interviews supports this notion yet further identifies that privacy violations
do not necessarily result in defriending. Forgiveness may occur when
such trust is breached within online interaction, as is suggested by Vasalou,
Hopfensitz, and Pitt (2008).
