Abstract

In the age of algorithm, people can receive the information they are interested in more and more quickly. Although algorithm recommendation brings convenience to people and reduces time cost, some platforms collect users' personal information without the users realizing it. The purpose of these platforms to collect user information is to more directly and accurately understand the user's content preferences. However, this approach brings a great threat to users' privacy and security. In this case, people pay more and more attention to privacy management. This paper is based on the above background and the Chinese youth’s privacy management in the age of algorithms. The author conducted a quantitative study through a questionnaire survey combining online and offline form in order to explore the influencing factors of privacy protection attitude of Chinese youth groups. This study takes the Theory of Planned Behavior as the core and mainly in discuss the attitude towards the behavior. The final conclusion is as follows: demographic variables and privacy ownership affect the behavior beliefs; demographic variables, the knowledge of the result of privacy invasion and no inconvenience has been caused by privacy management influence the outcome evaluations together. Because behavior beliefs and outcome evaluations are two factors that affect the attitude towards the behavior, the author conclude that privacy ownership, demographic variables, the knowledge of the result of privacy invasion and no inconvenience has been caused by privacy management influence the attitude together.
