Title
Uninformed use
Description
Nowadays, there are a lot of applications that are very easy to use but act to some extent as a black box for the user who has no idea about what data the application gathers about herself and/or what technology it uses. This has consequences on social sustainability: first the user may not be aware of what information is available about her or what consequences her actions may have, but also she does not feel the need to know more as it is just so easy to use. As the edge computing paradigm develops and new applications emerge, it is going to become more complicated to know what data is gathered and where it is stored.

Context

Feature
Using a new service/technology
Tactic intent
Making it hard for the end user to understand what it is she is using, which may lead to unwanted usage
Intent measure
Level of awareness of the end user
Countermeasure
Educating the users to such questions becomes crucial in order to avoid e.g., integrity issues, and policies should evolve to better protect the end users’ interests. At the same time as edge computing applications are released, it would be interesting to assess the level of technology literacy of edge users and design appropriate education.
