I’m at #CSCW2024 to present a taxonomy of digital harms and users' self-protective behaviors in algorithmically-mediated offline interactions (AMOIs) like gig work and online dating: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36… With Daricia 🇰🇳, Aurelia, Sophie, Elissa M. Redmiles, Ph.D., and Dr Angelika Strohmayer ✊🇪🇺

Safer Algorithmically-Mediated Offline Introductions: Harms and Protective Behaviors Wednesday, Nov 13 at 9-10:30am Session 1f: Digital Connections and Self-Disclosure by Veronica Rivera is on the job market!, Daricia 🇰🇳 , Aurelia, Sophie, Elissa M. Redmiles, Ph.D. , and Dr Angelika Strohmayer ✊🇪🇺

A great thread outlining the findings from our research on protective behaviours people use when they meet someone in person following an algorithmically-mediated online link-up (eg gig work or online dating)!
