Using Natural Language Policies for Privacy Control in Social Platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability of defining privacy preferences in the current social platforms are very restricted. Typically, the user is provided with only some predefined options to select from. In this paper, we present an approach that exploits Semantic Web policies allowing users to control privacy in social web applications. Such policies are general statements that define the behavior of a system. Although Semantic Web policies gained a lot of interest in recent years and policy languages became more and more complex, suitable and easy-to-use solutions for highly dynamic social platforms are still needed. In order to allow common users to define policies about the data to be shared, we introduce natural language policies. We further present an implementation based on the policy framework Protune that allows users of a collaborative learning platform to restrict access to their learning material to collaborators by means of controlled natural language policies.

Examples of this approach include Facebook, Yammer, and Salfesforce. Unfortunately, users running a third-party “app” have little control over what it does with their private data. Today’s platforms offer only a...
متن کاملThe Usable Privacy Policy Project: Combining Crowdsourcing, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to Semi-Automatically Answer Those Privacy Questions Users Care About
Natural language privacy policies have become a de facto standard to address expectations of “notice and choice” on the Web. However, users generally do not read these policies and those who do read them struggle to understand their content. Initiatives aimed at addressing this problem through the development of machine-readable standards have run into obstacles, with many website operators sho...
متن کاملEnabling Privacy-Awareness in Social Networks
Most social networks have implemented extensive and complex controls in order to battle the host of privacy concerns that initially plagued their online communities. These controls have taken the form of a-priori access control, which allow users to construct barriers preventing unwanted users from viewing their personal information. However, in cases in which the access restriction mechanisms ...
