conceptions of anonymity and follow up on chat roulette
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.

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.

I wrote this in 2006 - it deals with the distinction between being anonymous and feeling anonymous: Kennedy, H. (2006) 'Beyond anonymity, or future directions for Internet identity research' New Media and Society vol 8 no 6 pp859-876. Reproduced in Media Studies: A Reader, 3rd Edition, Sage Publications, 2009, edited by Sue Thornham, Caroline Bassett and Paul Marris. danah boyd's talk at SXSW 'Making Sense of Privacy and Publicity' (http://www.danah.org/papers/talks/2010/SXSW2010.html) deals with differing conceptualisations of privacy. hmtk Dr Helen Kennedy Lecturer in New Media, Institute of Communications Studies, University of Leeds (http://ics.leeds.ac.uk/) Director, Inclusive New Media Design (http://www.inclusivenewmedia.org/) More about me: http://ics.leeds.ac.uk/staff/h.kennedy Email: h.kennedy@leeds.ac.uk Tel: 0113 3438748 ________________________________________ From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Seda Guerses [sguerses@esat.kuleuven.be] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 2:11 AM To: air-l@aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] conceptions of anonymity and follow up on chat roulette 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.
