Liu, L. &
Chen, Y., 20 Oct 2025, In: International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction.
Dr Yiming Chen from the Academy of Film and Creative Technology published a paper entitled "Understanding Privacy Visibility Dialectic in the Post-PIPL Era: Users’ Everyday Privacy Negotiations of (In-)Visibility on Digital Platforms" in the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, an SSCI-indexed, JCR Q1 core journal in Human-Computer Interaction, in October 2025. Grounded in the legislative context of China's 2021 Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), the study systematically investigates the perception, processing, and management mechanisms of personal information on digital platforms from the user's perspective. By revealing users' negotiation strategies in the data visibility game, this research provides both theoretical foundations and practical pathways for designing truly user-centred data management frameworks on digital platforms.

Mr Zhonghao Chen has co-authored "Quantumtechnics: Printing as a Cross-Media Phenomenon of Observing and Materialising in Shaping Reality," published in Cross-Cultural Design (Springer).
