“…3 Recent research has explored policing and new media, 4 sexting, 5 revenge porn, 6 sexual assault survivors' use of social media, 7 the use of social media to expose police misconduct 8 and the growth of what has been referred to as 'anti-social' media such as fight pages. 9 Indeed, a range of criminal activities have been aided by new media technology, such as identity theft, online fraud, hacking, cyberbullying and the activities of criminal gangs and terrorist networks. Through social media, messages can spread at rapid speed, authors have the option to remain anonymous and the cyberspace remains largely unregulated.…”

The focus of this chapter is on the growth of 'anti-crime' Facebook groups in Australia. Specifically, we focus on the ways in which community justice and vigilantism are exercised through social media in the wider context of the racialized criminalization of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and increasingly other minority groups. We build on earlier work, drawing on a number of anticrime Facebook pages to examine the ways social media is used to produce and reproduce a racialized narrative of crime. Our analysis finds that these Facebook groups have the effect of legitimating racial vilification, vigilantism and violence against racialized 'others' and that the current regulation of online racism and racial vilification appears to be profoundly inadequate for addressing these concerns. While there are examples of direct links between Facebook groups and incidence of violence, at a broader level it is the constant reinforcement of an environment of racist violence that is most troubling.

“…The outcomes of this have included small scale usercentred design projects, which we detail elsewhere [40]. However, in addition to this, we were also looking at ways digital systems can change how public health is provided, on a broader level of service delivery.…”

“…Practices of sharing intimate experiences have been examined by [18] indicating a shift to consider performative levels of community sharing. The potential for digital technology to encourage face-to-face, collaborative interactions around sexuality has been examined by [40], however they indicate difficulty in maintaining a healthpromotion agenda through these more collaborative approaches, and were hence unsuccessful in being incorporated in the delivery of young people's sexual health services. Therefore, in the current research, in collaborating with sexual health providers, we sought to introduce a community-driven approach to developing a digital intervention which had the potential to be integrated into the sexual health service through retaining a clear agenda of sexual health promotion.…”

This paper analyses sexual health workers' 'talk' around their introduction of a digital platform to enhance a regionally managed condom distribution scheme for young people. In examining the discursive resources workers used in framing the sexual health service, their service users and digital technology, we argue that problematic ideologies around young people and sexuality were exercised and reproduced. Workers positioned themselves as the gatekeepers of young people's sexual health, who were in turn constructed as 'mischievous' and 'misguided', with technology having a corruptive role over what was considered to be 'healthy' and 'normal' sexual relationships. We suggest our findings indicate severe challenges in developing community-commissioned platforms alongside service providers, and questions how plausible user participation can be in attempting to conduct collaborative, participatory and engaged work in this context.
