“…Rather than perceiving such images as 'content' that we produce and either do or do not publish, we tend to think of them more like 'digital prostheses'extensions of ourselves, of our will and our agency (Rey & Boesel, 2014). They do not merely represent us but also embody us.…”

Activists and legal scholars seeking remedies to non-consensual pornography (known colloquially as 'revenge porn') have generally framed it as a violation of privacy; however, the concept of privacy a fraught history, linked to women's exclusion from the public sphere, denial of their sexual expression, and impunity for abusers. I argue that the concept of body integrity better maps onto the experiences described by victims, who seldom distinguish between digital representations of their body and the body itself and who often liken non-consensual pornography to sexual assault. However, a feminist approach to bodily integrity (rather than one rooted in classical liberalism) is require in order to account for the disproportionately negative consequences nonconsensual pornography has for women.

“…An additional component of the contextual integrity concept that arose in these discussions is the idea of achieving separation of the digital and physical ‘you’—reflecting the digital dualism fallacy (Jurgenson, , ; Rey & Boesel, ) that allows for surveillance of the ‘digital you’ to be constructed as inconsequential. A potential for future research is to connect this to Haggerty and Ericson's () theorisation of ‘data doubles’—where your digital presence can be pieced together and targeted by surveillance.…”

Beyond ‘nothing to hide’: When identity is key to privacy threat under surveillance

Privacy is psychologically important, vital for democracy, and in the era of ubiquitous and mobile surveillance technology, facing increasingly complex threats and challenges. Yet surveillance is often justified under a trope that one has ‘nothing to hide’. We conducted focus groups (N = 42) on topics of surveillance and privacy and using discursive analysis, identify the ideological assumptions and the positions that people adopt to make sense of their participation in a surveillance society. We find a premise that surveillance is increasingly inescapable, but this was only objected to when people reported feeling misrepresented, or where they had an inability to withhold aspects of their identities. The (in)visibility of the surveillance technology also complicated how surveillance is constructed. Those interested in engaging the public in debates about surveillance may be better served by highlighting the identity consequences of surveillance, rather than constructing surveillance as a generalised privacy threat.

“…The concept of subjectivity has a long tradition and is central to both sociological and psychological research. Lately, subjectivity has been introduced as a theoretical angle to understand individuals' relations to digital tools as well as the potential to expand the limits of the self through "digital prostheses" such as mobile phones or personalised medical devices more in general (Rey and Boesel 2014; see also Lynch and Farrington 2018). In what follows we will mainly draw on conceptualisations based on the work of Rey and Boesel (2014) and Giraud (2015).…”
