| Popis: | Older adults (65+) use a wide range of digital media, yet have been slow in adopting social media specifically. In this paper, we explore to what extent privacy concerns could be a barrier to social media adoption in this demographic. By analyzing in-depth interviews with 40 older adult users and non-users of social media living in East York1, Toronto, Canada, we explore the types of social media privacy concerns that older adults have as well as the strategies they employ to mitigate these concerns. We found that older adult social media users and non-users shared similar privacy concerns; the most often mentioned being a concern for unauthorized access to personal information, and information misuse. While older adult non-users of social media protected themselves by avoiding social media, older adults who were social media users protected themselves by limiting the information they shared. This study has policy implications for training programs geared toward older adults and informs understandings of privacy literacy across the lifespan. |
