移动应用程序的设计会对用户隐私产生巨大的影响。但手机开发者如何了解什么是隐私？我们分析了两个主要开发者论坛上关于隐私的讨论：一个针对iOS，一个针对Android。我们发现，不同的平台对隐私的定义明显不同。对于iOS开发者来说，苹果是一个看门人，控制着市场准入。随着开发者试图解读苹果的政策指导，隐私的含义也发生了变化。对于Android开发者来说，谷歌只是众多数据收集对手中的一个。隐私变成了一组防御功能，开发者通过这些功能来应对数据驱动的经济中权力的不平等分配。通过关注每个平台产生的发展文化，我们强调了设计方法中隐私固有的权力差异，说明了平台不仅作为隐私敏感内容的中介，而且作为帮助定义隐私是什么以及隐私如何运作的监管者的作用。
Mobile application design can have a tremendous impact on consumer privacy. But how do mobile developers learn what constitutes privacy? We analyze discussions about privacy on two major developer forums: one for iOS and one for Android. We find that the different platforms produce markedly different definitions of privacy. For iOS developers, Apple is a gatekeeper, controlling market access. The meaning of privacy shifts as developers try to interpret Apple's policy guidance. For Android developers, Google is one data-collecting adversary among many. Privacy becomes a set of defensive features through which developers respond to a data-driven economy's unequal distribution of power. By focusing on the development cultures arising from each platform, we highlight the power differentials inherent in privacy by design approaches, illustrating the role of platforms not only as intermediaries for privacy-sensitive content but also as regulators who help define what privacy is and how it works.
