When you posted last night’s party photo on social media, did you
think about who might get access to that photo and how it might be
used? When you sent an email to your friends about your government’s
policies, who did you think would be reading that email? When you
searched online for medical treatments, did you think anyone would be
tracking your searches?

Communicating Confidentially

There are many reasons why Internet users might wish to be anonymous
online, keep the content they are reading or sharing confidential, and
why they may not want others to know which services they are using –
privacy; personal security; concerns about surveillance by governments
or private companies; concerns about potential repercussions for
statements made in social media and/or hosting blogs for
“cyber-activists”; and concerns about conclusions that may be drawn
about them based on what they see and communicate on the Internet, to
name a few. Each use case might require different tools and
strategies.

To better understand the problem space, we would like to collect
information from Internet users that will help us gain a more complete
understanding of their needs and expectations for confidential
communications online.

Take the Survey!

The Internet Society invites you to participate in an online survey to
help us better understand what are your needs and expectations when it
comes to communicating confidentially online.

Click here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/confidcommunications> to
start the survey.

The survey will remain open until 26 August 2014.

Please help us gather more information by sharing the survey
invitation with interested people. Thanks in advance for your help
with this initiative.
