“…That ability includes capability; that is, implementation must be practical. Currently information technology provides such control only for experts but the infrastructure’s robust design would incorporate new developments such as the ‘web-traveler policies’ that allow individuals to attach their use policies to materials that leave their immediate control (Squicciarini & Sundareswaran, 2009).…”

• Summary: Domestic violence agency administrators struggle to incorporate the Internet safely and effectively into their intimate partner violence (IPV) services. This study utilizes two data gathering tools to identify administrative concerns and web content in the 91 Texas shelters. The first research stage employed a mixed-methods questionnaire (89% response rate) to identify managers’ Internet use patterns and managerial needs. In the second stage, all shelter web sites (65) were submitted to a multi-context content analysis. • Findings: Overall, findings indicate that administrators see a serious need for basic administrative support tools (e.g. policies and training materials) and the development of cyber-safety resources (e.g. online stalking tips). Administrators view the Internet’s potential for increasing staff efficiency and clients’ sense of self-efficacy as worthwhile. Questionnaire findings indicate that 66 percent of directors need a means of helping clients learn to do their own information-seeking, only 54 percent have a written policy, and 46 percent have no in-house training at all. Web site findings indicate that 61 percent of the sites lacked minimal cyber-safety information despite administrative concerns about cyber-stalking. • Applications: IPV shelter administrators’ two Internet utility criteria, service priorities and resources, privilege implementation barriers and ignore the embedded expectations of communication and resource support. By shifting from a shelter-based Internet perspective to a user-generated perspective, administrators can integrate clients’ expectations with the shelter’s options. The resultant conceptual framework for Internet integration posits the lived information experience as managers’ basis for shaping social communication, resource generation, information seeking, and decision-making.

Considering that privacy is a fundamental right for every individual, in this thesis, we present an approach that increases privacy awareness of the users and maintains the sovereignty of their data when using SNS. The first contribution of this thesis is the classification of multiple types of risks as well as user expectations regarding privacy in SNS. Afterwards, we introduce the Privacy Framework for SNS and the concept of User Privacy Policy (UPP) to offer users an easy and flexible way to specify and communicate their privacy concerns to other users, third parties and SNS provider. Additionally, we define a taxonomy (possibly non-exhaustive) of privacy criteria that can enhance the user privacy if they are integrated within the design of a SNS and introduce the concept of a Privacy-enhanced SNS (PSNS). Furthermore, we present also Privacy Watch, a theoretical proposal of a PSNS platform that combines the concept of provenance and accountability to help SNS users maintain sovereignty over their personal data. Finally, we survey and compare several privacy-enhanced SNS that were recently proposed that try to integrate some privacy features directly into the design of the system. We also classify these different approaches with respect to the privacy criteria developed.

“…By strong content protection, we mean being able to control not only who access the content but also what operations the content recipient is allowed to perform on it. Our approach toward extended content protection builds on the notion of Web-Traveler policies [21] previously introduced by us. Web-traveler policies can seamlessly travel with the content, as they were attached to it.…”

Abstract-Social networking sites are ingrained in the fabric of our day-to-day lives, with these sites being widely used to exchange personal information and content. Some forms of access control are provided by the sites themselves to protect the useruploaded content. However, these types of control are limited in that they require the user's input for the effective protection, otherwise a default policy which provides minimal protection is often applied. Towards providing extended content protection, in this paper we propose an approach for automated user-uploaded content control. Automatic enforcement allows us to extend the protection of content for unprotected files, preventing underage viewers from accessing adult content, tracking stolen or misused copyright-free images. This work builds upon the notion of ' Web-Traveler policies', previously introduced as a new class of content control policies. In the paper, we also provide a proof of concept implementation of our algorithms for automatic propagation for images in order to prove the applicability and strength of our approach.
