Maintaining user trust is essential to reaping the benefits of the participative web, but individuals are becoming increasingly sensitive to real and perceived risks related to privacy, security and safety. To which extent do individuals, and particularly younger generations, make informed choices when they upload increasing amounts of detailed personal information to the web? Questions arise about how the data are used, who has access and whether it can be effectively secured in the long term. What are safety issues -particularly related to children? And what about the longer term implications?
Questions to be addressed include:
- What are the new challenges that emerge from the participative web, in terms of privacy, security and consumer protection?
- Do policy approaches and legal frameworks need to be modified to address these changes?
- What are the best communication and education strategies to help individuals understand how to miminise their risks while taking advantage of new opportunities?
