Strategies of Balancing Privacy and Publicness in Social Network Services

摘要

While social network services (SNSs) are used for sharing content, few people wish to share everything, with everyone, all the time. Furthermore, users have scarce control over what others disclose about them. The presented PhD research concerns users' strategies for balancing with privacy and publicness online. Focusing especially on group co-presence and interpersonal management of boundaries, the research advances our understanding of identity and self-presentation. The findings are expected to have implications for designing services that support users' privacy and publicness management strategies.
