Abstract

Will you remember to turn off the geotag function in your phone that could easily expose your current location to others? Much work has been done in photo sharing and privacy issues in mobile device usage, while little is done to study the temporal pattern of location disclosure through geotagged photo sharing. This work investigates the temporal sensitivity of geotagged photo sharing in scenarios that vary in social space and motivation. We found that people tend to be more cautious at private space all the time and public interest may stimulate instant uploading than personal desires.
