Screenshots in human communication research
The screenshot feature has offered human communication researchers a way to document participants’ digital lives without technical expertise nor compromising ecological validity. Despite its widespread utility, there have been limited remarks on the perils of the screenshot feature as a methodological tool to capture the digital world. This article reflects on human communication research which has leveraged the screenshot feature. In doing so, I…
Protecting Children of the TikTok Era
Insufficient protections from platforms and policymakers have left children vulnerable to the harms of social media, engendering years of lively discussion around who should be held responsible for their continued engagement. Particular concerns have arisen around TikTok, a Chinese owned social media company with a distinct format and appeal toward children. In the absence of overarching governance, the public discourse fueled an understanding of…
Understanding screenshot collection and sharing on messaging platforms
Individuals rely on messaging platforms to form and maintain intimate relationships, trusting shared information will remain within intended digital confines. However, the screenshot feature allows people to capture and store pieces of private conversations as a separate file on their device, rendering them shareable with third parties. While usage of this feature can be benign, this study focuses on its ability to breach privacy expectations wit…
Distinguishing social virtual reality
Social virtual reality (SVR) attempts to allow for connections akin to face-to-face communication (Ftf). Yet, it is unclear whether the technology successfully mimics Ftf or more closely resembles other mediated communication channels. This study empirically compares SVR and other communication channels in terms of perceived social affordances, privacy, and trust through a between-subjects online survey (n = 743). Findings indicate that SVR and F…
Shifting platform values in community guidelines
Social media can establish governance frameworks for their users through public-facing documents and policies. Such governance frameworks are value-laden and embody platform values. As a newly dominant platform in the United States, TikTok serves as an exemplary medium to study the evolution of platform values. Based on the iterations of TikTok’s Community Guidelines from 2018 to 2022 ( N = 25,641), we conducted longitudinal lexical analyses to d…
Platform rules as privacy tools
Society has normalized the use of the screenshot feature to surreptitiously capture and share private digital messages. While screenshots have utilitarian purposes, we provide evidence that this feature enables violations of interpersonal privacy expectations. In addition, we extend communication privacy management (CPM) theory beyond its interpersonal limitations to include platforms as privacy rulemakers through explicit cues and embedded trust…
