Privacy and pleasure: A paradox of the hedonic use of computer-mediated social networks

作者:

Highlights:

• People continue to use computer-mediated social networks despite privacy concerns.

• A hedonic explanation for this privacy paradox is proposed.

• Social exchange theory is used to identify hedonic benefits of CMSN use.

• Results show that people tradeoff their privacy concerns for hedonic benefits.

• This tradeoff explains privacy paradox and the continued use of CMSN.
