| Summary: |
People tend to value their privacy, but are usually unaware
about the extent to which their personal information is exposed through
ordinary data available online. In this paper we describe an experience
in which a group of students worked to identify a group of people from
partial data that had been stripped of any direct identifiers, such as name
or identification number. The students were successful in the assigned
task, and as an indirect consequence, there was an increase of interest in
the topic of privacy. With the partial evidence collected from this case,
we argue that a hands-on, exercise-solving approach could be adapted to
communicate privacy issues more effectively |
