IWT SPION-Workshop: Privacy and Responsibilisation in Online Social Networks

Speakers: David Barnard-Wills, Rula Sayaf, Laura Brandimarte, Bo Gao, Ero Balsa

One of the main goals of the SPION project is to investigate ways of mitigating the responsibilisation of individuals for existing privacy risks on online social networks. As it is accustomed in SPION, the participants of this workshop will explore and discuss responsibilisation from different interdisciplinary angles and perspectives. We will explore how governments and companies push responsibilities onto individuals by externalizing online privacy risks. We will further explore the reasons behind processes of responsibilisation and the strategies employed to do this. We will present several user studies which explore the adequacy and efficacy of popular privacy tools, such as increased transparency and privacy preserving tools, and discus the role they may play in responsibilisation of individuals with respect to their privacy. Other topics that we will cover include the ethical issues that inform current access control models in online social networks, as well as the use of cryptography and feedback and awareness tools to help users protect their privacy online.

Speakers from within and without SPION will present these issues and try to provide answers to them, and we look forward to the audience's input for taking the discussion further!
