The aim of this study is to show how Google's business model is concealed within Google Apps for Education (GAFE) as well as how such a bundle is perceived within one educational organisation, consisting of approximately 30 schools. The study consists of two parts: 1) a rhetorical analysis of Google policy documents and 2) an interview study in a Swedish educational organisation. By making an implicit demarcation between the two concepts (your) 'data' and (collected) 'information' Google can disguise the presence of a business model for online marketing and, at the same time, simulate the practices and ethics of a free public service institution. This makes it problematic for Swedish schools to implement Google Apps for Education, bearing in mind Google's surveillance practices for making profits on pupil's algorithmic identities. From a front end viewpoint of Google Apps for Education, the advantages of the services are evident to the users, and emerge in the study, whereas back end strategies are relatively hidden.

ÖzSosyal paylaşım ağları; bireylerin kendilerini etkili biçimde ifade edebildikleri aynı zaman da paylaşımda bulunabilecekleri ortamlar sunması açısından bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinde önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Facebook'un kişilerarası iletişim üzerine en önemli etkileri arasında 'kişilerin bu ortamda görme ve göstermeye dayalı yeni bir iletişim şekli edinmeleri ve bunun sonucunda mahremiyet algılarının dönüşüme uğraması' gösterilmektedir.Çalışmanın konusunu, Facebook'da fotoğraf ve mekan paylaşımları ve Facebook'a ilişkin algılarının mahremiyet kaygısı üzerindeki etkileri oluşturmaktadır. Makalede Facebook'la ilgili literatürde yer alan çalışmalar, Facebook ve mahremiyet ekseninde incelenecek ve bireylerin mahremiyet anlayışında yaşanan dönüşümün resmi ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Sosyal Paylaşım Ağları, Mahremiyet, Facebook, Fotoğraf Paylaşımı. AbstractSocial media networks have important part in information and communication technologies which provide environments for individuals to express themselves efficiently and share their ideas. It is indicated that one of most significant effects of Facebook on interactions between individuals is to make them start obtaining a new communication type which is based on showing, watching and being watched and as a result the transformation of their understanding of privacy.This study aims to reveal the effects of photography and location sharing on Facebook and their perceptions of Facebook on privacy related concerns. In this paper, Facebook related works in the literature will be examined in terms of Facebook and privacy and it will be tried to draw a picture of the transformation in understanding of privacy of individuals.

“…As Wood et al (2006) note, surveillance measures carried out regularly on citizens by businesses and intelligence services include Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV), electronic tagging, biometric scanning, and mass data collection and analysis of personal information. This has expanded to include surveillance opportunities facilitated through mobile technologies and devices (Caushaj et al 2013), drones and unmanned vehicles (Wall and Monahan 2011), and consumer level personal surveillance devices (Humphreys 2011). These forms of surveillance require significant resources, and thus surveillance is often thought of as being instituted by state authorities (see Lee and Cook 2015).…”

Integrating subjects: Linking surveillance experiences to social patterns using Ethno‐Epistemic Assemblages

Surveillance can be experienced in a variety of ways, but how these experiences might be linked to broader social patterns is currently underdeveloped. There is a growing body of research exploring the surveillance subject and how individuals may (dis)engage with surveillance practices. This includes (but is not limited to) surveillance as a bargaining process (Pallitto 2013), counter surveillance activities such as sousveillance (Mann, Nolan and Wellman 2003), and surveillance as a process of exposing subjects (Ball 2009). But while shedding light on the experiences of surveillance subjects, how these experiences might be placed in relation to broader social and surveillance structures is not always automatically evident. This paper presents an initial engagement with this topic, and suggests that a possible angle for linking surveillance subjects to broader social patterns may be achieved through concepts from science and technology studies, specifically Irwin and Michael's (2003) concept of the ethnoepistemic assemblage (EEA). The EEA is a theoretical heuristic originally envisioned to help understand the blurred relationships between science and society, emphasising the heterogeneous composition and relationship of technoscience and society. The EEA specifically links an individual's contexts (ethnos), and the forms of knowledge relevant to their contexts (episteme), into assemblages, highlighting the interwoven, dynamic, and fluid nature of ethno-epistemes against and in conjunction with other EEAs, and other social narratives. A brief exploration of the marginal positioning of surveillance subjectivities is presented, followed by a detailed description of the EEA, and how it may contribute to structuring and placing the complexities of surveillance subjects in society. IntroductionAs surveillance practices become increasingly prominent in modern society, questions about the interplay between individual lives and surveillance structures are raised. Specifically, what is the relationship between individual perspectives and experiences of surveillance, and those structures that conduct surveillance? "As the systematic attention to personal detail" (Lyon 2007: 14), surveillance occurs through a variety of systems in modern society (Haggerty and Ericson 2000: 608). Many examples are found in the social structures and technical infrastructures of society, such as through regimes of state sponsored surveillance or consumer data collection (Wood et al. 2006). Just as it is unreasonable to suggest that the growing array of surveillance structures can be understood under any one logic or rationale, it is also unreasonable to suggest that surveillance can be understood as being uniformly experienced. There is a growing body of literature that highlights not only the multiplicity of surveillance practices, but also the multitude of ways surveillance can be engaged with by subjects. For example, surveillance subjects have been found to purposefully adopt and use surveillance as a part of (post)modern social rel...
