Guest lecture by Roger Clarke, Xamax, Canberra, Australia on:
Privacy as a Strategic Factor in Social Media: An Analysis Based on the Concepts of Trust and Distrust
Monday, June, 25th at 10.30 AM in room 43.2-29
Social media services offer users tools for interaction, publishing and sharing, but in return demand exposure of users' selves and of the members of their social networks. The Terms of Service imposed are uniformly privacy-hostile. The practice of social media exhibits a great many distrust influencers, and some are sufficiently strong that they constitute distrust drivers. The analysis reported in this paper leads to constructive suggestions for those social media designers that seek to overcome user distrust and even to actively inculcate user trust.
Opportunities are identified for research that will inform and assist in the articulation of such designs.
Roger Clarke of Xamax, Australian National University, and University of New South Wales has a long international record combining research with consulting and policy advice on security and privacy issues. He has published over 100 papers on many aspects of surveillance and privacy. He has been a member of the Privacy International Advisory Board since its inception in 2000, and is currently Chair of the Australian Privacy Foundation - the world's oldest such body, having been founded in 1987.
