* interrupting your election doomscrolling * I'm on the job market! I address online abuse as the next frontier of security & privacy, so all people using tech feel safe. Open to TT faculty/industry research roles in the US/abroad -- lmk if you know of a good home for my work!

#CornellTech congratulates Associate Professor Nicola Dell on being awarded a 2024 MacArthur Foundation #fellowship for her work developing tech interventions to address the needs of overlooked populations. Congrats, Nicki! https://t.co/qvBgY3gKth @macfound @Cornell #MacFellow

Is sharing videos of children on TikTok safe? @sophxstephenson, a @WisconsinCS Ph.D. student, explores the privacy risks and benefits of sharenting on TikTok. Her @NSF funded research underscores the importance of human-centered cybersecurity. https://t.co/rEVsXggOVq

Attn: US middle & high school teachers or staff! We are researchers seeking your opinions about students using tech to create sexually explicit or nude images, sometimes called "deepfake nudes." 60 min online interview, $40! To join, fill out this survey: https://t.co/i1dD1Crfz2

Congrats to Professor @rhlchatterjee, who recently received an @nsfgov CAREER Award. Building upon his work with @DAISofDaneCo, Chatterjee’s proposal asks a startling question: What if everything we "know" about system security no longer applies? More: https://t.co/by7Va5yeXB

Promisingly, we observed that TikTok users are engaging in thoughtful conversations around sharenting and beginning to shift norms toward safer sharenting.

At the same time, creators voiced sharenting concerns and boundaries that reflect what has been observed on other platforms, indicating the presence of cross-platform norms. (E.g., not showing a child's face.)

Our results indicate that sharenting on TikTok indeed creates several risks for children, not only within individual posts but also in broader patterns of sharenting that arise when parents repeatedly use children to generate viral content.

In this work, we collected and qualitatively analyzed over 700 TikTok videos. We looked at videos where parents discuss or show their children ("sharenting") + videos where creators discuss sharenting.

I'm presenting this paper in the Children and Adults Online Safety session ✨tomorrow (Wed) at 12pm in 313B✨! Come hear about our work and say hello :) Link to paper: https://t.co/PMBiScyUum

🗣️HAVE YOU HEARD THE HOT GOSS?! 🗣️ i’m co-organizing the first Gender, Online Safety, and Sexuality (GOSS) workshop at SOUPS 2024 w/@kovila_c ! our goal: foster community around the study of online safety through the lens of gender + sexuality.

Cybersecurity researchers: Please consider submitting your work to our Special Issue on Inclusive Privacy and Security for the IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine. Deadline Feb 14, 2024. Guest Edited with Yang Wang.

So excited to share that our paper about sharenting on TikTok has been conditionally accepted to #CHI2024! 🎉 I had so much fun working on this project (and watching far too much TikTok) with @franziroesner, @_weimf, @apukapadia, & Chris Page. Preprint and more details to come!
