For those interested in finer-grained correlations between Flickr privacy decisions and location, correlations between privacy decisions and tags, or people's (including parents') considerations in choosing privacy settings, check out another paper (PDF) from Yahoo! Research. Dean disclosure: I'm one of the authors, but do very much think y'all might find this relevant.

I think the map shows states in the US and countries elsewhere.
How else would the only UK Flickr users be in Scotland (and none in London)?
3 US states at the Pacific?

To clarify some confusion: It seems there is one “pin” for each country of the world + each state in the US. It has nothing to do with the number of users per location.

hm.. I live in the northern Europe and have many friends here..

#geoperdis put is very well: “Europeans generally go out to be with company, stay home to be alone. North Americans go out to be alone, stay home with company or go online to be social”

That is so much true. If I go out with my friends, we take pictures, then we share them among us. Why would we share them to outside people? Similarly, my private-life pictures I’d only like to share with people I know/like/want to..

Honestly, I have always been suprised why Americans like to show (off with?) their private life so much..

So maybe instead of wondring why northern Europe is “so private”, we should wonder why America is “so public”?

cheers

[...] TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb have written about a slide shared by Principal Research Scientist Elizabeth Churchill on geographical locations where Flickr users are more likely to post their photos with privacy settings (red) or use the default public setting (green).

Here's the presentation from which this slide seems to be taken: Sharing Preferences and Privacy Cultures by Elizabeth Churchill. It gives some more data, but still doesn't say much about the methodology for arriving at the slide.

it looks like there is one symbol for each country and U.S. state, its not based on user/population density. They aren’t centered very well on their region, but you can see that there is a pattern. maybe that was a lot harder to see on the old slide…

Not surprising. Europeans generally go out to be with company, stay home to be alone. North Americans go out to be alone, stay home with company or go online to be social. Pattern is somewhat reflected in Flickr privacy preferences.
