Online social media has brought the digitization of our lives to new heights in just a few short years with the explosion of tools like Facebook and the adoption of Internet-ready smart-phones. But all of this information sharing comes at a price: privacy. Prof. Ben Zhao joined hosts Levi Maaia and Tim Grigsby on UC Santa Barbara’s morning radio show on KCSB 91.9FM to discuss privacy issues in the world of web 2.0, and some of his recent projects that showcase the positive and negative sides of online social networks. An audio transcript of the show is available as a downloadable podcast at: http://www.radioip.org/2010/03/09/privacy-social-networking-in-web-2-0/
