Hello, Mia.
Talking about Internet and Trust, I can mention the problem of social
capital, which is closely related to the question of trust. Barry Wellman
has several publications about it:"How does the Internet Affect Social
Capital" (
www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/internetsocialcapital/Net_SC-09.PDF)
"Network Capital in a Multi-Level World" (
www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman/publications/networkcapital/hlmnan10.pdf)
Also he participated in the Pew Internet Project's research "The Strength
of Internet Ties" (www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Internet_ties.pdf) which
deals with problems of weak and strong ties of people who use and don't use
Internet.
Hope it hepls.
Best wishes,
Alexander.
