An Analysis of the Consequences of the General Data Protection Regulation on Social Network Research

Abstract

This article examines the principles outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation in the context of social network data. We provide both a practical guide to General Data Protection Regulation--compliant social network data processing, covering aspects such as data collection, consent, anonymization, and data analysis, and a broader discussion of the problems emerging when the general principles on which the regulation is based are instantiated for this research area.
