Abstract:
This paper examines privacy as something people do, seeing privacy as a constant negotiation of technical and social aspects of technology use. To be able to examine privacy aspects of live video sharing on social media, we have designed and deployed a technology probe in amateur running events. The findings suggest that audio wouldn’t be shared a lot in this context, since it captures audible signs of fatigue. Further, it seems that sharing of performance indicators are problematic, so it is more likely that the probe would be used to mediate the general experience of taking part in a running event. Lastly it seems that very few would be comfortable with immediate sharing and would like to have the option of removing recordings and control its recipients. Overall, we find that when confronted with new mediating information technologies, people are quickly able to re-negotiate their privacy boundaries, using earlier experience with similar technologies.
