Understanding youth, privacy and reputation
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society has published its Youth and Media Policy Working Group Initiative's literature review mapping out "what is currently understood about the intersections of youth, reputation, and privacy online, focusing on youth attitudes and practices": Youth, Privacy and Reputation
From the introduction: "We summarize both key empirical studies from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and the legal issues involved in regulating privacy and reputation. This project includes studies of children, teenagers, and younger college students."
The review was authored by Alice E. Marwick, Diego Murgia Diaz, and John Palfrey. It provides a substantial foundation for researchers and others engaged with questions and issues around youth and privacy online, as well as a foundation for the ongoing activities of the Working Group Initiative's Privacy, Publicity and Reputation research area.
