Abstract

While risk is highly subjective, especially when it comes to the private online interactions of youth, third-party annotations are often performed to identify risky content. Therefore, we conducted a mixed-methods study to examine if, how, and why risk perceptions might differ between youth and third-party annotators who were research assistants (RAs). We first asked 100 youth to share their Instagram private messages and flag media that made them feel unsafe. Then, we had RAs annotate the same media to identify what they thought was unsafe or risky. Compared to RAs, youth tended to flag images as risky when they perceived targeted harassment towards them or unwanted solicitations from strangers. In contrast, RAs were more likely to risk-flag sexual images with a humorous undertone shared among friends. Our findings highlight the differences between how online risks are perceived by youth compared to RAs. We provide recommendations for assessing online risks based on multiple perspectives to inform future youth-centered risk mitigation approaches. Content Warning: Sensitive topics, including sexual risk involving minors, are discussed in this paper. Readers should use their discretion as to whether they would like to proceed.
