“金钱让世界运转”：从开发者的角度识别儿童应用程序中更好的隐私障碍
"Money makes the world go around'': Identifying Barriers to Better Privacy in Children's Apps From Developers' Perspectives
摘要：
儿童应用程序行业的蓬勃发展是以儿童隐私为代价的：这些应用程序经常将儿童数据泄露给多个数据跟踪器和广告网络。随着儿童上网时间的增加，这种暴露会积累长期的隐私风险。在本文中，我们使用混合方法来研究为什么会发生这种情况，以及开发人员如何改变他们的实践。我们的分析基于5个领先的数据保护框架，这些框架规定了儿童应用程序中数据汇集的要求和建议。为了了解开发人员的观点和限制，我们对流行的Android儿童应用程序开发人员进行了134次调查和20次半结构化访谈。我们的分析显示，开发人员在很大程度上尊重儿童的最大利益;然而，由于有限的货币化选择，某些第三方库的无害性以及缺乏设计指南，他们不得不做出妥协。我们确定了未来研究的具体方法和方向，以帮助克服这些障碍。
英文摘要：
The industry for children's apps is thriving at the cost of children's privacy: these apps routinely disclose children's data to multiple data trackers and ad networks. As children spend increasing time online, such exposure accumulates to long-term privacy risks. In this paper, we used a mixed-methods approach to investigate why this is happening and how developers might change their practices. We base our analysis against 5 leading data protection frameworks that set out requirements and recommendations for data collection in children's apps. To understand developers' perspectives and constraints, we conducted 134 surveys and 20 semi-structured interviews with popular Android children's app developers. Our analysis revealed that developers largely respect children's best interests; however, they have to make compromises due to limited monetisation options, perceived harmlessness of certain third-party libraries, and lack of availability of design guidelines. We identified concrete approaches and directions for future research to help overcome these barriers.
