“…We suggest that the next steps in a multifaceted response to online GBV requires open discussion and debate as well as empirical research to better understand peoples' lived experiences of online GBV. While excellent work is emerging (see e.g., Chatterjee et al, 2018;Dragiewicz et al, 2018;Freed et al, 2017Freed et al, , 2018Lewis et al, 2017;Salter, 2017;Woodlock, 2017), more research is needed to understand the landscape of GBV and responses to it online. In particular, empirical research is needed in order to produce evidence to guide international efforts to modify and use Internet architecture to address GBV.…”

Human Rights by Design: The Responsibilities of Social Media Platforms to Address Gender‐Based Violence Online

Gender‐based violence online is rampant, ranging from harassment of women who are public figures on social media to stalking intimate partners using purpose‐built apps. This is not an issue that can be addressed by individual states alone, nor can it be addressed satisfactorily through legal means. The normalization of misogyny and abuse online both reflects and reinforces systemic inequalities. Addressing gender‐based violence online will require the intervention of the technology companies that govern the commercial Internet to prevent and combat abuse across networks and services. We argue that international human rights instruments provide an opportunity to identify with more precision the responsibilities of telecommunications companies and digital media platforms to mitigate harm perpetrated through their networks, and ensure that the systems they create do not reproduce gendered inequality. Finally, we present initial recommendations for platforms to promote human rights and fulfill their responsibilities under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

“…Abusers gain privileged access to survivors' accounts and devices, legitimated by traditional models of androcentric authority within family life. They are often the account holders for family phone plans and purchase devices for survivors, conferring authority to set up passwords and security information (Douglas et al, 2019;Dragiewicz et al, 2019;Freed et al, 2017Freed et al, , 2018Kleinman, 2017;Matthews et al, 2017). Survivors who are financially dependent upon their abuser are particularly vulnerable, emphasising the interrelated nature of economic and technology-facilitated abuse (Freed et al, 2017(Freed et al, , 2018.…”

“…When survivors are away from their device, abusers check text messages without permission (Freed et al, 2017(Freed et al, , 2018Gilchrist et al 2017) and install spyware on their phones without consent (Douglas et al, 2019;Matthews et al, 2017). Eterovic-Soric et al (2017) note the emergence of what they term the stalker app, described as "a particular type of spyware available for mobile devices, whose primary purpose is to allow a user to covertly monitor a smartphone carried by another person" (2017: 280).…”

“…Technology is part and parcel of abuse in the twenty first century, rather than being something separate from or parallel to it (Douglas, Harris and Dragiewicz, 2019;Gilchrist et al, 2017). Survivors are likely to experience other forms of abusive behaviour including economic abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and physical violence (Freed et al, 2018;Krebs, Breiding, Browne and Warner, 2011;Woodlock, 2017).…”

Technology-Facilitated Domestic Abuse in Political Economy: A New Theoretical Framework

Yardley

Violence Against Women

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article presents a new theoretical framework around technology-facilitated domestic abuse (TFDA) in identifying four distinct types of omnipresent behavior. Perpetrators are increasingly drawing upon networked technologies like smartphones, social media, and GPS trackers in monitoring, controlling, and abusing survivors. There is considerable academic literature developing in response to this. While this scholarship is valuable, this article argues that TFDA must be understood as a neoliberal manifestation of patriarchal legacies of misogyny and sexism. A failure to recognize this will serve to prioritize abusers’ freedom to do harm over rights of survivors to be protected from harm.

“…Even the simple scenarios of ubiquitous computing in Weiser's speculative work, Computers for the 21st Century provided a vision and guidance to multi-billion dollar industries of smartphones and Internet of Things devices [6,100]. As past work at CHI has indicated, the real-world impacts of this new age have been uneven [37]. In this section, we reflect on how, as researchers and practitioners, we might better account for and anticipate the ways in which speculation engages and impacts the real world.…”

Expanding Modes of Reflection in Design Futuring

Design futuring approaches, such as speculative design, design fiction and others, seek to (re)envision futures and explore alternatives. As design futuring becomes established in HCI design research, there is an opportunity to expand and develop these approaches. To that end, by reflecting on our own research and examining related work, we contribute five modes of reflection. These modes concern formgiving, temporality, researcher positionality, real-world engagement, and knowledge production. We illustrate the value of each mode through careful analysis of selected design exemplars and provide questions to interrogate the practice of design futuring. Each reflective mode offers productive resources for design practitioners and researchers to articulate their work, generate new directions for their work, and analyze their own and others' work.
