Abstract: Users share a vast amount of data while using web and mobile applications. Most service providers such as email and social media providers provide users with privacy controls, which aim to give users the means to control what, how, when, and with whom, users share data. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to hear users say that they feel they have lost control over their data on the web. This article aims to shed light on the often overlooked difference between two main types of privacy from a control perspective: privacy between a user and other users, and privacy between a user and institutions. We argue why this difference is important and what we need to do from here.

Position: Considerations for Differentially Private Learning with Large-Scale Public Pretraining [75.25943383604266]
We question whether the use of large Web-scraped datasets should be viewed as differential-privacy-preserving. We caution that publicizing these models pretrained on Web data as "private" could lead to harm and erode the public's trust in differential privacy as a meaningful definition of privacy. We conclude by discussing potential paths forward for the field of private learning, as public pretraining becomes more popular and powerful.

Privacy Explanations - A Means to End-User Trust [64.7066037969487]
We looked into how explainability might help to tackle this problem. We created privacy explanations that aim to help to clarify to end users why and for what purposes specific data is required. Our findings reveal that privacy explanations can be an important step towards increasing trust in software systems.

In pandemic situations, such as the COVID-19 and Ebola outbreak, the action related to sharing health data is crucial to avoid the massive infection and decrease the number of deaths. In this sense, permissioned blockchain technology emerges to empower users to get their rights providing data ownership, transparency, and security through an immutable, unified, and distributed database ruled by smart contracts.
