Purpose

This research project considers what “meaningful consent” looks like in the context of online gaming. The discussion begins with a survey of the privacy impacts associated with online gaming through the investigation of certain technologies and features. Legal and technical research to convey the role that software updates, unilateral/browse-wrap agreements and settings will lay the foundation for how users can increase their engagement with privacy impacts and control will be compiled. Lastly, the project aims to take a critical look at the advertising strategies and approaches used by online gaming platforms.
