Privacy and Social Networks

Privacy and SNs Tel Aviv University, 07/01/08

The web has become platform for sharing

The Kokhav Nolad Syndrom lands on the web

Teens use the internet as a theater
55% have an online profile (mostly with full names, photos, and photos of friends)
46% post fake information to protect themselves
49% use networks to make friends
32% have been contacted by strangers
Girls are more concerned than boys on privacy
Older teens share more
More rules in household than other media

Is Privacy an illusion?

Once your data is Public this is too late, unless…
Google Yourself to find out
Online Advertising is based on knowing what you do. Does that disturb you?
Privacy is an illusion only if you want to. But it is very hard to avoid

The BeaconGate proves we are not in a jungle

The ScobleGate

Questions and expectations

Who owns your data? (you, platform, advertiser, friend)
How easy is it to modify/delete? (bebo winner according to this )
Is our friend’s data our data?
What usage can we do of this data?
In which context can we use it? Is our data portable? Are SNS ready to open?
How to attribute the permissions to use it? Who has the authority?
How to maintain a good level of trust with my friends?
What standards/best practices are going to be adopted and what regulation? Check up DataPortability.org

Be Careful but not obsessed
