  • Designing Privacy Into Online Communities
    Dwyer and Hiltz Designing Privacy Into Online Communities Designing Privacy Into Online Communities Catherine Dwyer Starr Roxanne Hiltz Pace University New Jersey Institute of Technology [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Participation has exploded in online communities such as social networking sites, media sharing sites, and blogging sites. This widespread participation has generated substantial concern about the privacy implications of use. Although most online communities include privacy management features, it is not well understood how members of online communities take advantage of privacy management. To explore this issue, a study was conducted that compared privacy management on Facebook and MySpace, two popular social networking sites. Out of 222 subjects, 18.9% or nearly one in five had suffered a privacy incident within the past year. In a particularly striking result, less than half of those who suffered a privacy incident either reviewed or changed their privacy settings. So even though privacy incidents occur regularly, these findings indicate privacy management tools are not extensively used to protect privacy. This provides evidence of poor design of privacy management on social networking sites. To improve design, we argue that privacy must be conceptualized as a quality of an online space, rather than as a collection of access settings to be managed by individual members. This moves privacy from an individual consideration to the level of a structural component of a system. We offer an analysis of current privacy management practices and offer suggestions for improving the design of privacy management in social software. Keywords Online privacy management, social software, system design INTRODUCTION Social networking sites have grown to be the most popular type of computer-mediated communication system to support online communities.

Otherwise, contracted pay raises and health-insurance cost hikes together eat up more than the cap, which this year is actually two percent. The tentative budget, fi led Septem- ber 30, shows expenses of $11,872,921, of which $9,898,272 would be raised through taxes. The tax levy of the ap- proved 2018 budget is $8,348,108. Cuts identifi ed by Bettez and comptrol- ler Jean Gallucci bring the increase down to 8.9% from the 17.5% in the “wish-list” round. The tax cap would limit increases to $176,000, which Gallucci called “im- possible,” as fi xed expenses alone will rise $234,000. That includes $40,000 for workers’ compensation and $67,000 in police pay increases agreed to in a past multi-year contract which current council members are bound to honor.
