Privacy, Anonymity, and Perceived Risk in Open Collaboration: a Study of Tor Users and Wikipedians - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Andrea Forte, Nazanin Andalibi and Rachel Greenstadt.
Overview
This qualitative study examines privacy practices and concerns among contributors to open collaboration projects. Authors collected interview data from people who use the anonymity network Tor who also contribute to online projects and from Wikipedia editors who are concerned about their privacy to better understand how privacy concerns impact participation in open collaboration projects. Authors found that risks perceived by contributors to open collaboration projects include threats of surveillance, violence, harassment, opportunity loss, reputation loss, and fear for loved ones. Authors explain participants' operational and technical strategies for mitigating these risks and how these strategies affect their contributions. Finally, authors discuss chilling effects associated with privacy loss, the need for open collaboration projects to go beyond attracting and educating participants to consider their privacy, and some of the social and technical approaches that could be explored to mitigate risk at a project or community level.
