Social networks provide many benefits, but also give rise to serious concerns regarding privacy. Indeed, since privacy protections are not intrinsically incorporated into the underlying technological framework, user data is still accessible to the social network and is open to misuse. While there have been efforts to incorporate privacy into social networks, existing solutions are not sufficiently lightweight, transparent, and functional, and therefore have achieved only limited adoption. This project develops a privacy-preserving social network (Trusted-Space) where user data are protected from the social network itself, other social network users, and advertisers. The project synthesizes solutions from a technological and sociological perspective to ensure that all of the required functionalities for both users and advertisers to participate effectively in the social network are available. The project develops compact data representations and usability driven functionalities that are privacy-preserving. The project also evaluates people's expectations about the implications of their own actions on their privacy and the future behavior of the algorithms, towards creating a simple, transparent, and predictable environment to facilitate widespread adoption. Since social networks permeate modern life, the project will have significant impact through enabling the incorporation of usable privacy technology into the social network fabric. The project also cultivates the integration of research and education, by providing opportunities for research to undergraduates and graduates, while increasing the awareness of privacy issues among the general public through outreach activities.

社交网络提供了许多好处，但也引起了对隐私的严重担忧。事实上，由于隐私保护并未本质上纳入底层技术框架，因此社交网络仍然可以访问用户数据，并且容易被滥用。尽管人们一直在努力将隐私纳入社交网络，但现有的解决方案不够轻量、透明和实用，因此仅获得了有限的采用。该项目开发了一个保护隐私的社交网络（Trusted-Space），其中用户数据受到保护，免受社交网络本身、其他社交网络用户和广告商的影响。该项目从技术和社会学的角度综合解决方案，以确保用户和广告商有效参与社交网络所需的所有功能均可用。该项目开发了紧凑的数据表示和可用性驱动的隐私保护功能。该项目还评估人们对自己的行为对其隐私和算法未来行为的影响的期望，以创建一个简单、透明和可预测的环境，以促进广泛采用。由于社交网络渗透到现代生活中，该项目将通过将可用的隐私技术纳入社交网络结构而产生重大影响。该项目还通过为本科生和研究生提供研究机会，同时通过外展活动提高公众对隐私问题的认识，从而促进研究和教育的融合。
