In light of Snowden/NSA, the Russian election meddlings, and the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal - what research in the social sciences looks at privacy?

Post Body

We're living in an internet/technological revolution, and our species is dealing with communication and technology on a scale never before seen. Personal information on almost everyone is online in some form, and this data is constantly purchased, stolen, and/or abused to breach our privacy and manipulate us.

I'm curious what research in the social sciences looks at privacy in general, and at digital privacy. I'm less interested in how one could use online data to learn about an individual and manipulate them, but rather how people feel about privacy, the fact their data is being used, what behaviors people engage in to avoid the use of their data, and the larger social implications of breaches of privacy. Do you know of any cool work on privacy in your field?
