Transparency tools\r\nbecome crucial to inform people, though it is unclear how well they work. To\r\ninvestigate this matter, we conducted a user study focusing on Facebook, which\r\nhas recently released the \"Off-Facebook Activity\" transparency dashboard that\r\ninforms about personal data collection from third parties. We exposed a group\r\nof n = 100 participants to the dashboard and surveyed their level of awareness\r\nand reactions to understand how transparency impacts users' privacy attitudes\r\nand intended behavior. Our participants were surprised about the massive amount\r\nof collected data, became significantly less comfortable with data collection,\r\nand more likely to take protective measures. Collaterally, we observed that\r\ncurrent consent schemes are inadequate. Based on the survey findings, we make\r\nrecommendations for more usable transparency and highlight the need to raise\r\nawareness about transparency tools and to provide easily actionable privacy\r\ncontrols.","lang":"eng"}]}
