“…But regulating access to pornography has proven difficult despite strong motivation from the challenges Internet porn creates or exacerbates. Stigma around nudity/sexuality coupled with easy access has led to concerns with "revenge porn" (Bates, 2017), "human flesh search"/facial recognition (Chao and Tao, 2012), and more recently "deep fakes". These put sexual minorities and women at additional risk, particularly as women are more likely than men to be victims (Bates, 2017).…”

2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the “digital divide.” Although a quarter century has passed, legacy digital inequalities continue, and emergent digital inequalities are proliferating. Many of the initial schisms identified in 1995 are still relevant today. Twenty-five years later, foundational access inequalities continue to separate the digital haves and the digital have-nots within and across countries. In addition, even ubiquitous-access populations are riven with skill inequalities and differentiated usage. Indeed, legacy digital inequalities persist vis-à-vis economic class, gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity, aging, disability, healthcare, education, rural residency, networks, and global geographies. At the same time, emergent forms of inequality now appear alongside legacy inequalities such that notions of digital inequalities must be continually expanded to become more nuanced. We capture the increasingly complex and interrelated nature of digital inequalities by introducing the concept of the “digital inequality stack.” The concept of the digital inequality stack encompasses access to connectivity networks, devices, and software, as well as collective access to network infrastructure. Other layers of the digital inequality stack include differentiated use and consumption, literacies and skills, production and programming, etc. When inequality exists at foundational layers of the digital inequality stack, this often translates into inequalities at higher levels. As we show across these many thematic foci, layers in the digital inequality stack may move in tandem with one another such that all layers of the digital inequality stack reinforce disadvantage.

“…The essence of HFS is a mass movement to find the identity of people or the truth of some events by voluntary crowdsourcing of users [83]. The term "Human Flesh Search" is equivalent to "Cyber Manhunt" in the West, although there were more large-scale HFS events reported in the East [84]. In most cases, HFS usually begins with an open query for information about any topic or event that is incompatible with social justice or a violation of the mainstream moral standard [84].…”

Cybersecurity researchers always ignore the “people” behind the issues when dealing with cyberspace security issues. The human and technological aspects of cyberspace security must be simultaneously addressed to enable a secure cyber environment. Social engineering is a discipline whose research object is people, and the combination of social engineering and cyberspace security can provide new solution ideas for lots of cyberspace security issues. This paper attempts to answer the question —— “How to solve cyberspace security issues via social engineering?” We briefly review existing frameworks for social engineering attacks and pro?pose a novel, recursive, and iterative framework for social engineering attacks in cyberspace. The existing research achievements of combination of social engineering and cyberspace security were reviewed in the order of cyber personality, hacker psychology, human flesh search, and social engineering defense. To answer this question, we summarized four “guidelines” for using social engineering. Finally, we look ahead, give our thoughts, and discuss answers of the question and future research. It is aimed at getting more researchers of cyberspace security and social science to pay attention to this field.

As in the case of crowdsourced vigilantism , individual Internet users collaborate to conduct the information seeking behaviors outlined in cyber vigilantism , digilantism (Schwarz & Richey, 2019), and the delectably named human flesh search (e.g., Chao & Tao, 2012;Wang et al, 2010). For example, Chen and Sharma (2011) defined human flesh search as "a joint effort by thousands of online participants to retrieve information in a collaborative manner" (p. 50).…”

Affordances of Internet sites and Internet-based applications make personal information about romantic partners, friends, family members, and strangers easy to obtain. People use various techniques to find information about others, capitalizing on online affordances by using search engines to find relevant websites and databases; scouring the target’s social media or social networking site presence; accessing information about the target via their links or network association with others on social media; or asking questions or crowdsourcing information through online channels. Researchers have coined an assortment of terms to describe online social information seeking behaviors, such as interpersonal electronic surveillance, social surveillance, monitoring, patient-targeted Googling, cybervetting, websleuthing, human flesh search, lateral surveillance, Facebook surveillance, and Facebook stalking. Although considerable research has examined these behaviors, there has been little effort to clarify the concepts themselves. As a result, the literature is currently full of inconsistent and overlapping conceptualizations. To synthesize these concepts for future research, this review examines 73 online social information seeking concepts extracted from 186 articles. Specifically, the concepts are reviewed in light of their scope; the information seeker or target of information seeking (e.g., romantic partners, parents, children, employees, criminals); motives for information seeking (e.g., uncertainty, threat, curiosity); and the intensity of the behavior. Recommendations are provided for future research, such as employing clear conceptualizations and incorporating affordances. Finally, we offer a decision tree that researchers can use to help select appropriate terms to use in their work moving forward.
