Content of the Course

Description:       

One of the challenges that users face when deciding about their privacy limits is the uncertainty they feel. They are uncertain to what degree and what magnitude of audience they should share their information. This uncertainty arises partly due to lack of accumulated contextual knowledge relevant to the kind and amount of information and the audience, and partly due to the fact that users are not supported with pertinent information that can help them for decision at the given context. This project aims at studying the background problem about uncertainty  challenges in privacy decision making
