Abstract
Online users often post facial images of themselves and other people on
online social networks (OSNs) and other Web 2.0 platforms, which can lead to
potential privacy leakage of people whose faces are included in such images.
There is limited research on understanding face privacy in social media while
considering user behavior. It is crucial to consider privacy of subjects and
bystanders separately. This calls for the development of privacy-aware face
detection classifiers that can distinguish between subjects and bystanders
automatically. This paper introduces such a classifier trained on face-based
features, which outperforms the two state-of-the-art methods with a significant
margin (by 13.1% and 3.1% for OSN images, and by 17.9% and 5.9% for non-OSN
images). We developed a semi-automated framework for conducting a large-scale
analysis of the face privacy problem by using our novel bystander-subject
classifier. We collected 27,800 images, each including at least one face,
shared by 6,423 Twitter users. We then applied our framework to analyze this
dataset thoroughly. Our analysis reveals eight key findings of different
aspects of Twitter users' real-world behaviors on face privacy, and we provide
quantitative and qualitative results to better explain these findings. We share
the practical implications of our study to empower online platforms and users
in addressing the face privacy problem efficiently.
