Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to be one of the most significant disruptive technologies of modern times, and promises to impact our lives in many positive ways. At the same time, its interactivity and interconnectivity poses significant challenges to privacy and data protection. Following an exploratory interpretive qualitative case study approach, we interviewed 14 active IoT users plus ten IoT designers/developers in Melbourne, Australia to explore their experiences and concerns about privacy and data protection in a more networked world enabled by the IoT. We conclude with some recommendations for ‘responsive regulation’ of the IoT in the Australian context.

迈向物联网的响应式监管：澳大利亚的观点

摘要物联网（IoT）被认为是现代最重要的破坏性技术之一，并有望以许多积极的方式影响我们的生活。同时，其交互性和互连性对隐私和数据保护提出了重大挑战。在探索性的定性定性案例研究方法之后，我们采访了澳大利亚墨尔本的14位活跃的IoT用户以及10位IoT设计师/开发人员，以探讨他们在由IoT推动的更加网络化的世界中对隐私和数据保护的体验和关注。最后，我们针对澳大利亚背景下的物联网“响应性监管”提出了一些建议。
