Topic

Privacy in the Age of Pervasive Photo Sharing

Language: English

Abstract

As digital photography and online photo sharing become more commonplace, we will need to reconsider our notions of privacy. How will people react to constant surveillance by their peers, and what technical solutions can enhance privacy in this new age? Can we leverage people's sense of 'propriety' to protect other people's privacy? In this talk, I will highlight some of our research on answering and addressing these questions from a social and technical standpoint.
