Strater, Katherine and Lipford, Heather Richter (2008): Strategies and Struggles with Privacy in an Online Social Networking Community. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 111-119.

Online social networking communities such as Facebook and MySpace are extremely popular. These sites have changed how many people develop and maintain relationships through posting and sharing personal information. The amount and depth of these personal disclosures have raised concerns regarding online privacy. We expand upon previous research on users' under-utilization of available privacy options by examining users' current strategies for maintaining their privacy, and where those strategies fail, on the online social network site Facebook. Our results demonstrate the need for mechanisms that provide awareness of the privacy impact of users' daily interactions.

Strater, Katherine and Richter, Heather (2007): Examining privacy and disclosure in a social networking community. In: Proceedings of the 2007 Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security 2007. pp. 157-158.

The popularity of social networking websites such as Facebook and the subsequent levels and depth of online disclosures have raised several concerns for user privacy. Previous research into these sites has indicated the importance of disclosures between users as well as an under-utilization of extensive privacy options. This study qualitatively examines college students' disclosure and privacy behaviors and attitudes on Facebook.com. Results support current research into social networking and privacy and provide user-generated explanations for observed disclosure and privacy trends. Implications for future research into privacy software are discussed.
