Abstract: Much work in privacy focuses on educating a system’s users so they will be better armed to take action based on the benefits and drawbacks of how their data is treated. Intuitively, this makes sense; one may expect people who perceive more benefit than risk in a system will elect to use it, but our research shows that is commonly not the case. We surveyed users of a social network to quantify what they perceive as the benefits and drawbacks of the platform. Given their net “value” perceived, we would have expected those who see mostly drawbacks (or a net cost) in its use to abandon the platform for a more privacy-preserving alternative. What we found was that only 62% of individuals we surveyed acted so rationally—the remainder either chose to use a platform they felt had a negative impact on their life, or chose to abandon one that served them favorably. This result indicates there are strong factors beyond rational cost/benefit analysis that lead people to decide what social platfo rms they use. This means that privacy professionals must focus not only on building transparency and choice, but also constructing viable alternatives so people do not feel pressured into using a platform they see as a net loss of personal privacy.
