Gary T. Marx has some great articles on conceptual distinctions about anonymity, privacy, and volunteered privacy disclosures. http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/garyhome.html ======================================================= Ronald E.

has anybody been working on the difference between feeling anonymous and technical understandings of anonymity and re-identification, and how to relate these two things? i know sherry turkle wrote about anonymity on the internet long time ago and inspired much (critical) work, but i do not know of any recent works outside of the security/ privacy studies which often pose users as being naive/uncaring and identity as something fixed.
i had to come back to the question today after colleagues posted information about a site which automatically maps ip addresses of the chatrouletters to approximate locations on a google map together with a screenshot of the chatterer. http://www.chatroulettemap.com/ more information can be found here: http://www.geekosystem.com/chatroulette-map-anonymity/.
a more general article on ubiquitous video streaming is here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/mar/19/streaming-video-online-priv...
any tips or thoughts on this matter are much appreciated. cheers, s.
