死亡后的数据：澳大利亚用户偏好及保护逝后用户数据的未来解决方案
Data After Death: Australian User Preferences and Future Solutions to Protect Posthumous User Data
AI总结：
本文通过调查1020名澳大利亚人，发现公众更希望由可信赖的个人或可自行管理的第三方软件而非社交媒体平台来管理逝后数据，并提出未来应开发与主要在线平台对接的第三方解决方案以实现逝者意愿。
摘要：
当今活跃于互联网的个体所留下的数字足迹是其生命的见证，并有可能在他们去世后成为数字遗产。今日在世者的后代将极为珍视这种对其早已逝去祖先生活的空前洞察，但只有当我们今天建立起数据保存与逝后移交的流程时，这一切才有可能实现。许多主流在线平台在逝后数据处理方面提供的政策含糊不清或完全缺失，尽管近期有所进展，但目前尚不清楚普通澳大利亚人希望在其去世后由谁来管理其数据（即社交媒体平台、受信任的个人，还是其他数字执行人）。虽然目前逝者账户的管理主要由平台（例如 Facebook）执行，但可以想见，许多澳大利亚人可能并不信任此类平台会以诚信的方式完成这一任务。本研究旨在通过深入探究澳大利亚公众对其逝后数据管理的偏好，进一步推进围绕逝后数据的学术讨论，最终为未来研究项目和行业解决方案的开发提供参考。一项针对 1020 名澳大利亚人的调查显示，大多数人希望对逝后数据的管理方式拥有一定程度的控制权。澳大利亚人目前更倾向于将数据管理委托给一位值得信赖的亲近个人，或委托给他们可以自行管理的第三方软件。正如预期的那样，社交媒体公司在逝后数据管理的信任度和便利性方面排名均较低。未来的研究重点应是构思并开发一种第三方解决方案，使这些偏好得以实现。此类解决方案可以与主要在线供应商（社交媒体、云托管等）进行对接，以执行逝者的遗嘱。
英文摘要：
The digital footprints of today's internet-active individuals are a testament to their lives, and have the potential to become digital legacies once they pass on. Future descendants of those alive today will greatly appreciate the unprecedented insight into the lives of their long since deceased ancestors, but this can only occur if today we have a process for data preservation and handover after death. Many prominent online platforms offer nebulous or altogether absent policies regarding posthumous data handling, and despite recent advances it is currently unclear who the average Australian would like their data to be managed after their death (i.e., social media platforms, a trusted individual, or another digital executor). While at present the management of deceased accounts is largely performed by the platform (e.g., Facebook), it is conceivable that many Australians may not trust such platforms to do so with integrity. This study aims to further the academic conversation around posthumous data by delving deeper into the preferences of the Australian Public regarding the management of their data after death, ultimately to inform future development of research programs and industry solutions. A survey of 1020 Australians revealed that most desired a level of control over how their data is managed after death. Australians currently prefer to entrust the management of their data to a trusted close individual or third party software that they can administrate themselves. As expected, social media companies ranked low regarding both trust and convenience to manage data after death. Future research focus should be to conceptualise and develop a third-party solution that enables these preferences to be realised. Such a solution could interface with the major online vendors (social media, cloud hosting etc.) to action the deceased's will.
