许多社交媒体网站允许用户删除、编辑、匿名化或以其他方式修改过去的帖子。这些机制使用户能够保护自己的隐私，同时也从本质上改变了过去。我们调查这些机制的必要性和可接受性的看法。利用隐私的边界监管理论，我们首先确定重新共享或回复帖子的用户如何受到其追溯修改的影响。这些机制可能通过重新安排过去的内容和限制问责制而造成边界动荡。相反，不允许修改可能会减少隐私，并使令人遗憾的内容的危害永久化。为了了解用户如何看待这些机制，我们进行了15次半结构化访谈。与会者认为，回顾性修改对于纠正过去的错误至关重要。尽管如此，他们担心通过选择性改变或删除可能会造成欺骗。参与者意识到回顾性修改会影响其他人，但他们认为可以通过上下文感知的标记和主动通知来最大限度地减少这些影响。
Many social media sites permit users to delete, edit, anonymize, or otherwise modify past posts. These mechanisms enable users to protect their privacy, but also to essentially change the past. We investigate perceptions of the necessity and acceptability of these mechanisms. Drawing on boundary-regulation theories of privacy, we first identify how users who reshared or responded to a post could be impacted by its retrospective modification. These mechanisms can cause boundary turbulence by recontextualizing past content and limiting accountability. In contrast, not permitting modification can lessen privacy and perpetuate harms of regrettable content. To understand how users perceive these mechanisms, we conducted 15 semi-structured interviews. Participants deemed retrospective modification crucial for fixing past mistakes. Nonetheless, they worried about the potential for deception through selective changes or removal. Participants were aware retrospective modification impacts others, yet felt these impacts could be minimized through context-aware usage of markers and proactive notifications.
