“…[15]. There are works showing that the physical privacy concerns are more important than online privacy concerns for homesharing [118], [126]. We believe that the concept of physical privacy will be considered in privacy protection studies in other areas in near future, such as ridesharing.…”

Emerging Privacy Issues and Solutions in Cyber-Enabled Sharing Services: From Multiple Perspectives

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fast development of sharing services has become a crucial part of the cyber-enabled world construction process, as sharing services reinvent how people exchange and obtain goods or services. However, privacy leakage or disclosure remains as a key concern during the sharing service development process. While significant efforts have been undertaken to address various privacy issues in recent years, there is a surprising lack of review for privacy concerns in the cyber-enabled sharing world. To bridge the gap, in this study, we survey and evaluate existing and emerging privacy issues relating to sharing services from various perspectives. Differing from existing similar works on surveying sharing practices in various fields, our work comprehensively covers six branches of sharing services in the cyberenabled world, and selects solutions mostly from the recent five to six years. We conclude the issues and solutions from three perspectives, namely, from users', platforms' and service providers' perspectives. Hot topics and less discussed (cold) topics are identified, which provides hints to researchers for their future studies.

“…Lutz et al [126] explicitly divided the privacy concerns into physical privacy concerns (e.g., physical damages of private assets) and online privacy concerns (e.g., personal identity leakage). They conducted a survey on MTurk involving 389 participants; and most of them were hosts on Airbnb.…”

“…Online privacy concerns. Four items were used to measure online privacy concerns, adapted from Lutz et al [18]. The participants were asked to indicate their level of concern about potential online privacy risks that could arise from personal information disclosure on the home sharing platform (the risk of identity theft, hacking, cyberstalking and publishing personal information without consent).…”

Focusing on personal information disclosure, we apply control theory and the notion of the Order of Control to study people's understanding of the implications of information disclosure and their tendency to consent to disclosure. We analyzed the relevant literature and conducted a preliminary online study (N = 220) to explore the relationship between the Order of Control and perceived control over personal information. Our analysis of existing research suggests that the notion of the Order of Control can help us understand people's decisions regarding the control over their personal information. We discuss limitations and future directions for research regarding the application of the idea of the Order of Control to online privacy.

“…Sharing of resources regularly touches upon public interest and public goods as well as social impact (including, but not limited to, the 'tragedy of the commons' which describes the problem of self-interested individuals exploiting shared resources [Hardin 1968;Ostrom 1990]), with important implications not only for sharing economy organizations and their clientele but also for policy-makers and public sector actors. It brings to the fore questions about regulatory frameworks addressing (un-) fair competition, tax regime/discipline, socio-ethical aspects such as labor standards in sharing economy organizations, and consumer protection, safety, and privacy (e.g., Ranzini et al 2017;Lutz et al 2017). These questions have made visible a number of governance gaps ) and led to intense debates on the necessity of public intervention and suitable means to do so (e.g., Schor 2014;Morozov 2013;Mason 2015;McLaren and Agyeman 2015a;Sundararajan 2016).…”

Envisioning the ‘Sharing City’: Governance Strategies for the Sharing Economy

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recent developments around the sharing economy bring to the fore questions of governability and broader societal benefitand subsequently the need to explore effective means of public governance, from nurturing, on the one hand, to restriction, on the other. As sharing is a predominately urban phenomenon in modern societies, cities around the globe have become both locus of action and central actor in the debates over the nature and organization of the sharing economy. However, cities vary substantially in the interpretation of potential opportunities and challenges, as well as in their governance responses. Building on a qualitative comparative analysis of 16 leading global cities, our findings reveal four framings of the sharing economy: 'societal endangerment,' 'societal enhancement,' 'market disruption,' and 'ecological transition.' Such framings go hand in hand with patterned governance responses: although there is considerable heterogeneity in the combination of public governance strategies, we find specific configurations of framings and public governance strategies. Our work reflects the political and ethical debates on various economic, social, and moral issues related to the sharing economy, and contributes to a better understanding of the field-level institutional arrangements-a prerequisite for examining moral behavior of sharing economy organizations.
