“…It can not simply think that the more third parties information sharing, the greater the profit of the platform. For instance, López, Marín, and Calderón (2017) identifying the human aspects related to ubiquitous systems focused on people's willingness to use them and privacy concerns. They found that female participants tend to be more worried than male participants, the youngest participants (16-25 years old) are the most concerned about privacy threats.…”

Internet have radically transformed how people live their lives, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic. People rely on various Internet platforms in daily life, such as e-commerce platforms, social media platforms, etc. With the time going, Internet platforms have accumulated more and more personal information about their users or customers. In order to improve user experience and increase their profits, Internet platforms are willing to open their interfaces to third parties and share users’ information with them. Internet platform gains revenue by providing services for users, the users get utility by Internet platform. At the same times, the third parties enhance users experience by providing diversity services, and gain revenue and users' data. However, such kind of sharing may infringe users’ privacy and then erode users’ trust, especially for those users with higher privacy concerns. This paper tries to find out how Internet platforms can walk a fine line between sharing users’ information and protecting their privacy. Firstly, we analysis the cost-benefit of stakeholders. Then, we propose a pyramid model that captures the interaction between the users, Internet platform, and third parties. Specifically, we focus on the influence of user privacy sensitivity on information sharing behavior of Internet platform. We construct a three-stage dynamic game model with complete information to obtain the threshold value of third parties under the equilibrium state. The result shows that unrestrained sharing of user’ information with third parties will bring negative effects for Internet platforms and finally reduce their profits. The most advantageous way is to develop differentiated privacy policies for users with different privacy preferences. Those users with higher privacy concerns can pay some membership fee to enjoy the service provided by an Internet platform without the disturbance from various third parties.

“…Other populations, such as those with juvenile arthritis and overweight/obesity, have noted the benefits of such data sharing options with parents and providers (Gabrielli et al, 2017; Waite‐Jones et al, 2018). However, pediatric patient feedback indicates the importance of user choice in sharing and desire for clear protections from privacy threats when data are shared (Beierle et al, 2020; López et al 2017). Further, some pediatric populations report that if they decide to share data, they want it to occur automatically to improve simplicity in mHealth interactions; this is something that may be of particular interest for those with more complex and/or multisystem chronic conditions (e.g., cystic fibrosis, spina bifida; Bendixen et al, 2017; Vilarinho et al, 2017).…”

Topic Mobile Health (mHealth) stands as a potential means to better reach, assess, and intervene with teens with socially complex needs. These youth often face overlapping adversities including medical illness and a history of experiencing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Clinicians are faced with navigating ethical decisions when developing mHealth tools for teens who have socially complex needs. Many tools have been developed for adults from the general population. However, despite the development of thousands of mHealth interventions, developers tend to focus on designing for usability, engagement, and efficacy, with less attention on the ethical considerations of making such tools. Purpose To safely move mHealth interventions from research into clinical practice, ethical standards must be met during the design phase. In this paper we adapt the Four Box Model (i.e., medical indications, preferences of patients, quality of life, and contextual features) to guide mHealth developers through ethical considerations when designing mHealth interventions for teens who present with a medical diagnosis and a history of ACEs. Sources A review of language, inclusive features, data sharing, and usability is presented using both the Four Box Model and potential scenarios to guide each consideration. Conclusions To better support designers of mHealth tools we present a framework for evaluating applications to determine overlap with ethical design and are well suited for use in clinical practice with underserved pediatric patients.

“…For example, communication between agents may depend on the compatibility of devices "representing" them, on the compliance of information encoding formats or transfer protocols. Furthermore, ubiquitous computing (López et al, 2017) and other phenomena result in the generation of so-called big data -which, because of its scale, is impossible for the human mind to analyze. In the inhuman cyberspace, humans appear to be increasingly subordinate to technical entitiessometimes our ICTs need to understand and interpret what is happening, so they need semantic engines like us to do the job (Floridi, 2014, 146).…”

Purpose/Thesis: The article opens new research opportunities by going beyond the concept of the information user and contributing to the development of a research paradigm based on the idea of information agency. It proposes a theoretical framework for a new way of thinking about the subject of information processes.Approach/Methods: This conceptual article is based on theoretical considerations and synthetic, critical analyses of the concept of the information user alongside other ideas underlying the approach proposed here.Results and conclusions: The article establishes a theoretical framework for thinking about the information agent. The information agent is seen as a dynamic, heterogeneous, multifaced and inseparable system gaining agency in specific situations and losing it in others.Originality/Value: The article presents the original concept of an information agent together with initial suggestions regarding how to apply it to, and make it operable in, empirical research.
