Abstract: | Privacy concerns are rising among SNS users. However, privacy enhancing technologies are not, yet, widely deployed, moreover the rate at which their deployment has grown over the last few years has not been substantial. This is surprising given the fact that PETs are widely recognized as effective at reducing privacy risks. This paper discusses this paradox and tries to answer the question why PETs adoption by social network users is limited. It presents a framework of key factors that facilitates understanding of the issue and can serve as a guide for future research and practice. |
