From Michael Zimmer: "I think an outright ban, I don’t see that as the right solution to this problem...I think this is a larger question about privacy and algorithms and internet culture that is more than TikTok." cbs58.com/news/tiktok-ta…

I was reminded today of that time, a dozen years ago, I was labelled "academic paparazzi" for daring to engaging in a critical assessment of the T3 Facebook study. My reflection on that at the time is here: michaelzimmer.org/2011/07/11/har…

Leah is presenting this paper today in paper session 4: Self-reflection (in W194B) at #FAccT2023. Go go, Leah, I'm so proud of you!!

I'm not making it to #FAccT2023 this week, but keep an eye out for my phd student @nidhi_nellore who is attending ACM FAccT for the first time!

I needed a pick-me-up today, so I registered for #AoIR2023. Hope to see many of you in Philly!

SOUPS (Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security) posted the program for this year's conference: usenix.org/conference/sou… I'm happy to have a paper led by my student Sunyup Park (Sunyup Park) being presented there. Coauthors include Anna Lenhart and Michael Zimmer. Quick 🧵 on it:

This platform is toxic. This is my new pinned post. Y’all should leave too.

In the early days of the pandemic, Michael Zimmer & I noticed a sharp uptick in media stories on new types of workplace surveillance to monitor employees remotely. As privacy scholars, we were concerned about wider implications of these practices. Let me share what we found. 🧵

Hubris + no pushback - customer empathy - data = a great way to light billions on fire 🔥 💰 🔥

LOL. Zuck's first post on twitter in over 10 years (and probably his last).

🚨 New article alert! 🧵 I'm excited to *finally* share a paper that was initially written in 2019 & was just published Human-Machine Communication. "Boundary Regulation Processes and Privacy Concerns With (Non-)Use of Voice-Based Assistants": stars.library.ucf.edu/hmc/vol6/iss1/… Dr. Priya Kumar, [email protected] Michael Zimmer

In the current volume, Dr. Jessica Vitak, Privacy Zealot, Dr. Priya Kumar, [email protected], Yuting Liao, and Michael Zimmer extend Communication Privacy Management Theory (CPM) to #hmc. This article is important for examining privacy issues with #VBAs. #HAI #HCI stars.library.ucf.edu/hmc/vol6/iss1/…

Do VBA users even care about privacy? Terrific research by Dr. Jessica Vitak, Privacy Zealot, Dr. Priya Kumar, [email protected], Liao, & Michael Zimmer, who apply a tensional lens (CPM theory) showing complex negotiations and agentic work of users & non-users. Here we taste the early fruits of a dialectical approach to #hmc.

I still think often about this question I posed at the 2017 AI Now Institute gathering. Feels like many are only now realizing the privacy impacts of AI wrt ChatGPT's training data, etc.

New blog post: 'Reflecting on the future of workplace surveillance', in which Dr. Jessica Vitak, Privacy Zealot and Michael Zimmer discuss their article which can be found here: medium.com/surveillance-a… #surveillance #EmployeeMonitoring #privacy #covid19

We are thrilled to share with you the #AoIR2023 Conference Program! conftool.org/aoir2023/sessi…

Should you delete your Facebook? 👀 One man has been recording everything Mark Zuckerburg says in public, in an archive known as "The Zuckerberg Files", has told Sky News what he's learnt 👇

I can't believe I'm actually posting on this hellsite for this, but it is striking how AI, Ethics, and Society Conference (AIES) Association for Computing Machinery AAAI never seems to really think a conference on "AI, Ethics, and Society" should be planned out more than a few months....
