Visual Analysis of Photo Policy Misconfigurations Using Treemaps
This addresses privacy concerns for social media users by providing a visualization tool, but it is incremental as it builds on existing tools without major methodological breakthroughs.
The researchers tackled the problem of identifying unintended photo sharing in social media by developing a tool that visualizes photo albums with policy misconfigurations using Treemaps, aiming to help users quickly fix these issues.
Online photo privacy is a major concern for social media users. Numerous visualization tools have been proposed to help the users easily compose and understand policies on social networks. However, these tools do not incorporate the ability to quickly identify and fix unintended photo sharing. We propose a tool that displays the photo albums w.r.t their policy misconfigurations using a Treemap visualization.
