THE PRIVATE IS POLITICAL NETWORKED PRIVACY AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Th e term “network” can mean all sorts of things, but I use it here to<br /> <br /> describe three levels of connections, all insecure. Th ere are the social connec-<br /> tions made explicit by social technologies; the behavioral networks mapped<br /> <br /> and traced through consumer-level tracking and aggregation of big data; and<br /> perhaps most powerful and invisible, the deeply rooted and interconnected<br /> networks of surveillance by which the state controls its citizens through<br /> education, employment, social services, and criminal justice. As Ravi says,<br /> the agency to control the fl ow of information—to determine who receives<br /> it and in what context—is necessary to personal privacy, but when privacy<br /> <br /> is networked, this ability is always compromised. Networked privacy is en-<br /> abled not only by social platforms and the actors behind them but by the<br /> <br /> very act of digitization. Digitization transforms ephemeral information like<br /> who your friends are or what you buy into something visible, traceable, and<br /> <br /> measurable. Networked privacy is a new framework for understanding pri-<br /> vacy in a world saturated with social media, state and corporate surveillance,<br /> <br /> and big data technologies.
