Abstract

ABSTRACT The widespread practices of data collection by third-party actors pose challenges to children’s and adolescents’ privacy when they navigate digital environments. Given that the informed-consent paradigm has largely failed in online contexts, nudging seems to be a promising alternative intervention to make internet users more privacy sensitive. At the same time, nudging faces sharp criticism, suggesting it violates various ethical values. In this paper, we present an ethical evaluation of nudges targeting children’s and adolescents’ information privacy. We identify three core ethical values that nudging potentially violates: personal autonomy, human dignity, and sustainable well-being. Focusing on personal autonomy, we then demonstrate that the autonomy of minors cannot be violated by nudging in the same way as that of adults. As a conclusion, practical implications in designing and implementing privacy nudges targeting minors are suggested.

推动儿童和青少年对网络隐私:一个伦理的观点
第三方行为者收集数据的广泛做法对儿童和青少年在数字环境中导航时的隐私构成了挑战。鉴于知情同意模式在网络环境中基本上失败了,轻推似乎是一种有希望的替代干预措施,可以使互联网用户对隐私更加敏感。与此同时,“轻推”也面临着尖锐的批评,认为它违反了各种道德价值观。在本文中,我们提出了针对儿童和青少年的信息隐私轻推的伦理评价。我们确定了轻推可能违反的三个核心伦理价值观:个人自主权、人类尊严和可持续福祉。关注个人自主权,然后我们证明未成年人的自主权不能像成年人一样被轻推侵犯。最后,提出了设计和实施针对未成年人的隐私提示的现实意义。
