(2017): Repacking ‘Privacy’ for a Networked World. In: Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) 26 (4), S. 453-488. DOI: 10.1007/s10606-017-9276-y
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10606-017-9276-y Abstract: In this paper we examine the notion of privacy as promoted in the digital economy and how it has been taken up as a design challenge in the fields of CSCW, HCI and Ubiquitous Computing. Against these prevalent views we present an ethnomethodological study of digital privacy practices in 20 homes in the UK and France, concentrating in particular upon people’s use of passwords, their management of digital content, and the controls they exercise over the extent to which the online world at large can penetrate their everyday lives. In explicating digital privacy practices in the home we find an abiding methodological concern amongst members to manage the potential ‘attack surface’ of the digital on everyday life occasioned by interaction in and with the networked world. We also find, as a feature of this methodological preoccupation, that privacy dissolves into a heterogeneous array of relationship management practices. Accordingly we propose that ‘privacy’ has little utility as a focus for design, and suggest instead that a more productive way forward would be to concentrate on supporting people’s evident interest in managing their relationships in and with the networked world.

(2016): Data Science and Designing for Privacy. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 20 (1), S. 51-68. DOI: 10.5840/techne201632446
Abstract: Unprecedented advances in the ability to store, analyze, and retrieve data is the hallmark of the information age. Along with enhanced capability to identify meaningful patterns in large data sets, contemporary data science renders many classical models of privacy protection ineffective. Addressing these issues through privacy-sensitive design is insufficient because advanced data science is mutually exclusive with preserving privacy. The special privacy problem posed by data analysis has so far escaped even leading accounts of informational privacy. Here, I argue that accounts of privacy must include norms about information processing in addition to norms about information flow. Ultimately, users need the resources to control how and when personal information is processed and the knowledge to make information decisions about that control. While privacy is an insufficient design constraint, value-sensitive design around control and transparency can support privacy in the information age.

(2016): Information Privacy and Social Self-Authorship. In: Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 20 (3), S. 216-239. DOI: 10.5840/techne201671548
Abstract: The dominant approach in privacy theory defines information privacy as some form of control over personal information. In this essay, I argue that the control approach is mistaken, but for different reasons than those offered by its other critics. I claim that information privacy involves the drawing of epistemic boundaries—boundaries between what others should and shouldn’t know about us. While controlling what information others have about us is one strategy we use to draw such boundaries, it is not the only one. We conceal information about ourselves and we reveal it. And since the meaning of information is not self-evident, we also work to shape how others contextualize and interpret the information that they have about us. Information privacy is thus about more than controlling information; it involves the constant work of producing and managing public identities, what I call “social self-authorship.” In the second part of the essay, I argue that thinking about information privacy in these terms reveals threats to privacy that the control approach neglects. Namely, information technology makes social self-authorship invisible and unnecessary by making it difficult for us to know when others are forming impressions about us and by providing others with tools for making assumptions about who we are which obviate the need for our involvement in the process.

(2015) : YouQoS - Combining Quality of Service with Network Neutrality: Broadband Coverage in Germany. 9th ITG Symposium. Proceedings: Berlin, Germany: VDE, S. 1-6. Online verfügbar unter https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7109502/
Abstract: Broadband Internet connectivity is often limited by the last mile, which's average achievable data rate is rising only slowly. Quality of Service (QoS) measures to improve on existing lines may easily violate regulatory rules for privacy and network neutrality. YouQoS is a concept for user-controlled traffic management, which preserves privacy and network neutrality, while offering supreme Quality of Service especially in downstream direction. The idea is that users provide information on general preferences and situation-specific needs that an arbiter in the network uses to send flow configuration commands to the respective access network equipment. The arbiter, called the YouQoS Server, is a broker that on the one hand prevents user-provided private information from leaking, and on the other hand prevents the creation of malicious commands towards network operator equipment. In future Software-Defined Access Networks (SDAN) the only remaining physical devices will be simplified Software- Defined Network (SDN) Datapaths. To investigate options for YouQoS usage together with those SDN Datapaths, the YouQoS Box was defined. It implements all necessary YouQoS functionalities, like packet inspection, QoS marking, and shaping, in order to identify the most efficient function splits. With this device, it will be possible to add advanced functionality and full visibility to QoS experimentation. The YouQoS Box might even be added to current access networks between Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) and DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) to provide the YouQoS service.

(2010): Privacy in context. Technology, policy, and the integrity of social life. Stanford, California: Standford University Press. Online verfügbar unter http://site.ebrary.com/lib/academiccompletetitles/home.action
Abstract: As use of information technology increases, we worry that our personal information is being shared inappropriately, violating key social norms and irreversibly eroding privacy. This book describes how societies ought to go about deciding when to allow technology to lead change and when to resist it in the name of privacy

(2008): Internet Users' Information Privacy-Protective Responses. A Taxonomy and a Nomological Model. In: MIS Quarterly 32 (3), S. 503-529. DOI: 10.2307/25148854
Abstract: Although Internet users are expected to respond in various ways to privacy threats from online companies, little attention has been paid so far to the complex nature of how users respond to these threats. This paper has two specific goals in its effort to fill this gap in the literature. The first, so that these outcomes can be systematically investigated, is to develop a taxonomy of information privacy-protective responses (IPPR). This taxonomy consists of six types of behavioral responses-refusal, misrepresentation, removal, negative word-of-mouth, complaining directly to online companies, and complaining indirectly to third-party organizations-that are classified into three categories: information provision, private action, and public action. Our second goal is to develop a nomological model with several salient antecedents-concerns for information privacy, perceived justice, and societal benefits from complaining-of IPPR, and to show how the antecedents differentially affect the six types of IPPR. The nomological model is tested with data collected from 523 Internet users. The results indicate that some discernible patterns emerge in the relationships between the antecedents and the three groups of IPPR. These patterns enable researchers to better understand why a certain type of IPPR is similar to or distinct from other types of IPPR Such an understanding could enable researchers to analyze a variety of behavioral responses to information privacy threats in a fairly systematic manner. Overall, this paper contributes to researchers' theory-building efforts in the area of information privacy by breaking new ground for the study of individuals' responses to information privacy threats.
