论文摘要
在公共和受保护之间更改Twitter帐户的隐私设置会改变过去推文的可见性。通过检查3个月内超过100K Twitter用户的隐私设置，我们注意到，超过40％的用户将至少更改其隐私设置一次，而大约16％的用户将其更改为5次。这促使我们探讨了人们切换隐私设置的原因。我们通过比较公共与受保护时用户的推文行为进行了定量研究这些切换现象，并使用两个随访调查（n = 100，n = 324）定性地了解观察到的行为背后的潜在推理。我们的定量分析表明，切换隐私设置的用户在设置公开时提及其他主题标签，并共享主题标签。我们的调查强调，用户受到保护，以共享个人内容和规范边界，而他们则将公众与他人互动以受到保护的方式与他人互动。
Changing a Twitter account's privacy setting between public and protected changes the visibility of past tweets. By inspecting the privacy setting of over 100K Twitter users over 3 months, we noticed that over 40% of those users change their privacy setting at least once with around 16% changing it over 5 times. This motivated us to explore the reasons why people switch their privacy setting. We studied these switching phenomena quantitatively by comparing the tweeting behaviour of users when public vs protected, and qualitatively using two follow-up surveys (n=100, n=324) to understand potential reasoning behind the observed behaviours. Our quantitative analysis shows that users who switch privacy settings mention others and share hashtags more when their setting is public. Our surveys highlighted that users turn protected to share personal content and regulate boundaries while they turn public to interact with others in ways prevented by being protected.
