“…However, privacy literacy scholars and practitioners should also be on the lookout for ways that institutional rhetoric can co-opt community goals. For instance, laws that seek to protect children’s privacy can further marginalize LGBTQ or other minoritized youth (Grace et al , 2023; Lima, 2023); design standards that seek to protect privacy can sidestep the core issues of datafication (Steeves, 2022); and educational institutions often perpetuate the harms of datafication (Hillman, 2022; Jones, Briney, et al , 2020; Jones, Asher, et al , 2020; Jones et al , 2019; Jones and Hinchliffe, 2023). While no privacy literacy project can mitigate all of these tensions, aligning with specific communities can help scholars and practitioners identify and work toward concrete efforts for change.…”

Purpose This article advocates that privacy literacy research and praxis mobilize people toward changing the technological and social conditions that discipline subjects toward advancing institutional, rather than community, goals. Design/methodology/approach This article analyzes theory and prior work on datafication, privacy, data literacy, privacy literacy and critical literacy to provide a vision for future privacy literacy research and praxis. Findings This article (1) explains why privacy is a valuable rallying point around which people can resist datafication, (2) locates privacy literacy within data literacy, (3) identifies three ways that current research and praxis have conceptualized privacy literacy (i.e. as knowledge, as a process of critical thinking and as a practice of enacting information flows) and offers a shared purpose to animate privacy literacy research and praxis toward social change and (4) explains how critical literacy can help privacy literacy scholars and practitioners orient their research and praxis toward changing the conditions that create privacy concerns. Originality/value This article uniquely synthesizes existing scholarship on data literacy, privacy literacy and critical literacy to provide a vision for how privacy literacy research and praxis can go beyond improving individual understanding and toward enacting social change.

Despite efforts to promote children's rights in digital environments, a gap remains between principles and practice. To understand this gap and identify possible solutions, we examine whether and how designers embed children's rights when developing digital products and services. Using the child-rights-informed 'Playful by Design' (PbD) principles and associated card pack as discussion probes in workshops with 30 designers from diverse companies, we identify designers' understanding of children's rights, their workplace requirements for implementing these, and competing professional and commercial priorities faced in designing for children's play.Findings reveal the challenges of embedding rights-based principles in product design, given also the importance of child development.Designers may believe that children's rights are sufficiently realised by protecting children from risk, without ensuring their rights to provision and participation. Further, given the competing demands of commercial design settings, designers require a compelling rationale for and a practical means of implementing children's rights.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms.
