Expression in the Virtual Public
Information posted by youth in online social media contexts is regularly accessed, downloaded, integrated, and analyzed by academic researchers. The practice raises significant social justice considerations for researchers including issues of representation and equitable distribution of risks and benefits. Use of this type of data for research purposes helps to ensure representation in research of the voices of (sometimes marginalized) youth who …
Education, privacy, and big data algorithms
In this paper, we review the literature on philanthropy in education to provide a larger context for the role that technology company foundations, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, are playing with respect to the development and implementation of personalized learning. We then analyze the ways that education magazines and tech company foundation outreach discuss personalized learning, paying special att…
Getting at Equality
This article evaluates a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with mixed methods including concept mapping, q-sorting and deliberative dialogue in the context of a research project on young people's experiences with digital communications technologies, and addresses some of the central insights of intersectionality theory and praxis. Our approach seeks to ensure that, insofar as possible, the gathered data provide a rich and layered windo…
If these Canadians lived in the United States, how would they protect their privacy
This paper contributes to the debate about the adequacy of the United States’ fragmented, networked, federal system of privacy protection, an outlier among modern industrialized Western democracies, by taking the perspective of an individual seeking redress for privacy invasions. We analyze five actual privacy cases from the Canadian private sector, investigated by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and examine whether the privacy “wrong” experi…
Opening Windows on Surveillance
Social Dimensions of Privacy
Written by a select international group of leading privacy scholars, Social Dimensions of Privacy endorses and develops an innovative approach to privacy. By debating topical privacy cases in their specific research areas, the contributors explore the new privacy-sensitive areas: legal scholars and political theorists discuss the European and American approaches to privacy regulation; sociologists explore new forms of surveillance and privacy on …
Constructing the Suspicious
Suspicious activity reports (SARs) are an increasingly important tool in the law-enforcement repertoire, especially for counterterrorism. In spite of significant problems with such reports, they are experiencing a resurgence that can be attributed partly to the institutionalization of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “fusion centers,” which are taking the lead in vetting and interpreting these reports as they enter into law-enforcement and c…
Compromised Trust
State surveillance programs often operate in direct tension with ideals of democratic governance and accountability. The fraught history of surveillance programs in the United States, for instance, illustrates that government agencies mobilize discourses of exceptional circumstances to engage in domestic and foreign spying operations without public awareness or oversight. While many scholars, civil society groups, and media pundits have drawn att…
Fusion Center Accountability and Intergovernmental Information Sharing
Following the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the states cooperated in the establishment of fusion centers to facilitate sharing of data across government agencies, as well as across the public and private sectors. Based on interviews with officials in thirty-six different fusion centers and review of government documents and reports on fusion centers’ activities, this article analyzes the int…
Generational views of information privacy
This article investigates whether there are different attitudes about information and communication technologies and information privacy among members of different generations. Specifically we consider: do different generations experience information and communication technology-mediated environments in the same way or not? Are there disjunctures or continuities in the experience of privacy across one generation? Do different generations have dis…
Negotiating With Gender Stereotypes on Social Networking Sites
Research indicates that stereotypical representations of girls as sexualized objects seeking male attention are commonly found in social networking sites. This article presents the results of a qualitative study that examined how young women “read” these stereotypes. Our participants understood Social networking sites (SNS) as a commoditized environment in which stereotypical kinds of self-exposure by girls are markers of social success and popul…
Zones of Opacity
In this paper, we draw upon empirical research on fusion centres to theorize contemporary state surveillance. Instead of viewing fusion centres as central repositories for stockpiling and sharing personal data, we introduce the concept of "centres of concatenation" to describe how disparate data are drawn together as needed, invested with meaning, communicated to others, and then discarded such that no records exist of such surveillance activitie…

Federal Agency Blogs
This article reports on a systematic investigation of every federal department and independent agency for evidence of a current or past blog with a focus on three questions: Which agencies are using blogs, how are they using them, and why are agencies blogging? The question of why becomes particularly important as more agencies establish this online presence. We examine the relationships among the mission of the agency, the audience of the blog, …

A Response to Colin Bennett's 'In Defense of Privacy
Kids R Us
Our paper examines the dynamic of surveillance and empowerment from a theoretical perspective, identifies illustrative empirical examples, and perhaps most importantly investigates the practices that maximize the empowerment potential and minimize threats to that potential.In particular, we seek to understand the ways in which young people have adopted or adapted online media in order to deepen their social experiences, build community, and resis…

State Opposition to Real ID
The REAL ID Act requires states to adopt standardized procedures and formats for state driver's licenses and IDs. Twenty-one states have passed a law or resolution in formal challenge to REAL ID; only seven states have not initiated a formal challenge. Using qualitative and quantitative analyses, we find that relatively less populous and less wealthy states, which are likely to be more impacted by unfunded mandates and more conservative states, w…
The Technology of Policing
This is a richly textured analysis of the introduction, use, and effects of crime mapping technology in three police departments—Boston, Washington, DC, and a medium-sized American city referred to

Emergency Response Systems and the Creeping Legibility of People and Places
Over the last 35 years, centralized universal-number (in the United States, 9-1-1) systems have come to be the preferred means of emergency-response dispatching. The creation of these systems has motivated the development of information systems that render the landscape, to those with the right access, increasingly legible. This has been to the benefit of those receiving emergency services, but also to the benefit of police and commercial interes…
Safe Harbors or Free Frontiers? Privacy and Transborder Data Flows
This article explores the issues surrounding the harmonization of privacy or data protection during the last 30 years. It begins with a history of the conflict over transborder data flows and then proceeds to analyze current national and regional policy debates about the feasibility of policy solutions to address problems that are integral to global communications and economic networks. Ongoing discussions between the European Union and the Unite…
Privacy as a Common Good in the Digital World
This article seeks to broaden our understanding of online privacy in three ways: first, by drawing out the differences between the physical world and the digital world as those differences affect privacy; second, by exploring how the concept of the 'commons' might help us to understand social and economic relationships in cyberspace; and third, by analysing two contrasting views of privacy: privacy as a private or individual good and privacy as a…
Surveillance and Mobilities
The editorial introduces the pieces in this special issue on surveillance and mobilities. It draws out the key themes of the issue, asking: what is meant by 'mobility' and why it deserves such a focus; what are the goals and purposes of the surveillance of mobilities; and finally, what are the consequences. It proposes a simple typology of mobilities: 'what moves' (body, transactions, and artefacts); and 'movement itself

Learning to Govern Online
This research offers a limited empirical study of online service in federal government agencies. The authors are interested in the evolution of online governance and what factors influence the adoption and elaboration of online services. Information about online agency services was gathered primarily from online U.S. General Accounting Office reports and testimony offered between 1993 and 2000. The authors examine online activities that carry out…
Personal Information Policies in the United States and Britain
This article examines how issues of policy implementation affected the formulation and adoption of personal information policies in the United States and Britain. The analysis suggests that when implementation questions are raised during policy formulation, programmatic goals will be compromised to the interests bureaucracies have in implementation. In this case, the goal of protecting the privacy of personal information was sacrified to an imple…

Ideas or Interests
This article examines why the idea of privacy failed to structure policymaking in the case of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA). Although the relatively quick passage of ECPA might appear to be a case of the politics of ideas, the model of interest group politics more simply explains policy making. The analysis of this case suggests several factors as important in establishing the conditions under which a politics of ideas will be …

Privacy issues and the creation of campaign mailing lists
Modern political campaigns have increasingly turned to direct marketing to disseminate their message, “get out the vote,” and raise funds. Because the information used to create these lists is acquired from a variety of external sources, the lists come into conflict with individual privacy. This article explores the nature of modern political campaigns and describes how mailing lists for electoral campaigns are developed. A “Privacy Thermometer” …

The National Communications System and Federal Electronic Surveillance Policy
People throughout the world are experiencing a major revolution in how they communicate, why they communicate, and what they communicate. This revolution, which started a decade or two ago and shows no sign of abating, is driven by a combination of technological, institutional, economic, and social changes. Concurrent with the changes has been the significant expansion of the range of electronic surveillance devices that are available for surrept…

Policy Analysis
Privacy, Government Information, and Technology
All modern governments collect detailed personal information on citizens and residents, including information on financial activities, criminal charges, government subsidized loans, employment status and earnings, and, increasingly, medical treatments and costs. Such information is needed by governments to administer vast arrays of social welfare programs as well as more traditional activities of revenue collection and maintenance of law and orde…
