Research on Digital Information Privacy Behavior of Social Network Users Based on Evolutionary Game

Abstract

This article takes social network services as the research object and mainly conducts two aspects of research: first, based on previous research, combining the behavior characteristics of users in the social network environment related to digital information privacy, the digital information privacy of users pays attention to the influential factors of users’ digital information privacy information disclosure behavior, summarize and refine them, establish theoretical research models, and then use structural equation modelling to empirically analyze the significance of each influence path; then, based on the first part of the empirical research, the evolutionary game theory was used to analyze the interests of digital information privacy between social network users and service providers. This paper also studies the evolution of the willingness of each parameter to provide digital information to users under variable expected return conditions and uses MATLAB to analyze its evolutionary trends. It is found that the regulatory intensity coefficient, information leakage loss, and information sensitivity are both for users and websites. It has an important impact, and the loss of information leakage and information sensitivity can affect the evolution direction of users’ willingness to provide digital information and change the speed of website evolution, and the regulatory intensity coefficient is the opposite.

An evolutionary game-theoretic analysis of the "multi-agent co-governance" system of unfair competition on internet platforms

“…Wang et al [ 32 ] verified the effectiveness of dual regulation by the governments and users by constructing an evolutionary game model involving governments, digital platforms, and users, thereby preventing digital platforms from abusing user data and protecting user privacy. Gu et al [ 33 ] took internet platforms and users as game participants and used MATLAB to analyze the evolutionary paths of both sides’ strategies. It is found that information leakage loss and information sensitivity are critical factors affecting users’ provision of digital information.…”
