我们测试了这样一种假设，即增加个人对私人信息--甚至是允许他们被个人识别的信息--的发布和访问的控制力，将增加他们披露敏感信息的意愿。矛盾的是，如果他们披露信息的意愿充分增强，这种控制的增加可能最终会让他们更容易受到攻击。我们的发现突显出，如果人们以足够抵消的方式做出反应，旨在保护他们的技术最终可能会加剧他们面临的风险。
We test the hypothesis that increasing individuals' perceived control over the release and access of private information-even information that allows them to be personally identified-will increase their willingness to disclose sensitive information. If their willingness to divulge increases sufficiently, such an increase in control can, paradoxically, end up leaving them more vulnerable. Our findings highlight how, if people respond in a sufficiently offsetting fashion, technologies designed to protect them can end up exacerbating the risks they face.
