| Abstract |
Privacy is a major concern in online social networks.
Online social networks allow users to specify privacy concerns to some
extent, but enforcing them over distributed content is difficult. The
main reason for this is that the users are allowed to create and share
content about themselves as well as about others. When multiple
entities start distributing content without a control, information can
reach unintended individuals. Since privacy constraints of these
users may be different from each other, privacy disputes occur.
Ideally, all relevant users of a content must be able to engage in a
discussion of their privacy constraints so that they can agree on
whether to share the content and if so with whom. This talk will
discuss our recent work on collaborative privacy management to resolve
disputes among users in online social networks.
This talk will discuss our recent work on collaborative privacy
management to resolve disputes among users in online social networks,
with a focus on argumentation. Our work is based on
representing each user in an online social network with an agent that
is responsible for managing and enforcing its user's privacy
constraints. When an agent wants to share a post, an agreement
session starts between the agent and other relevant agents. The agents
provide each other arguments to express their privacy stance and try
to convince each other that their claim is true. At the end of the
session, the system decides whether sharing the post is justified
according to the provided arguments of the agents. |
