TL;DR: This paper explores how 20-something Facebook users understand and navigate privacy concerns, and examines the somewhat subversive practices which users engaged in to enhance their own social privacy, and in some cases, violate that of others.
Abstract: This paper explores how 20-something Facebook users understand and navigate privacy concerns. Based on a year long ethnographic study in Toronto, Canada, this paper looks at how - contrary to many mainstream accounts - younger users do indeed care about protecting and controlling their personal information. However, their concerns revolve around what I call social privacy, rather than the more conventional institutional privacy. This paper also examines the somewhat subversive practices which users engaged in to enhance their own social privacy, and in some cases, violate that of others. Finally, this paper examines some of the reasons that users may continue using the site, despite privacy concerns.

TL;DR: It is argued that a market-based approach to privacy protection would be far more effective and efficient in protecting individual information than current approaches.
Abstract: Since the 1960s privacy advocates have relied on regulatory and legislativeapproaches to privacy protection in the United States, Canada and Europe. Whileimportant progress has been made in certain areas, there are large gaps andsignificant loopholes in existing legislation. I argue that a market-based approachto privacy protection would be far more effective and efficient in protectingindividual information than current approaches.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach that combines machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics to solve the challenge of how to manage and protect people's privacy.
Abstract: Developing effective privacy protection technologies is a critical challenge for security and privacy research as the amount and variety of data collected about individuals increase exponentially.

Journal Article
TL;DR: In this paper, Dinur and Nissim considered a statistical database in which a trusted database administrator monitors queries and introduces noise to the responses with the goal of maintaining data privacy, and they proved that unless the total number of queries is sublinear in the size of the database, a substantial amount of noise is required to avoid a breach, rendering the database almost useless.
Abstract: In a recent paper Dinur and Nissim considered a statistical database in which a trusted database administrator monitors queries and introduces noise to the responses with the goal of maintaining data privacy [5]. Under a rigorous definition of breach of privacy, Dinur and Nissim proved that unless the total number of queries is sub-linear in the size of the database, a substantial amount of noise is required to avoid a breach, rendering the database almost useless. As databases grow increasingly large, the possibility of being able to query only a sub-linear number of times becomes realistic. We further investigate this situation, generalizing the previous work in two important directions: multi-attribute databases (previous work dealt only with single-attribute databases) and vertically partitioned databases, in which different subsets of attributes are stored in different databases. In addition, we show how to use our techniques for datamining on published noisy statistics.
