Abstract

In this article, we review Alice Marwick’s book, The Private is Political: Networked Privacy and Social Media, published by Yale University Press in 2023. In the book, Marwick argues that the digital nature of the social media landscape fundamentally changes contemporary notions of privacy. We trace three specific elements of her argument, namely: (1) the design of networked technologies to connect and leak, (2) the subsequent differential harms on those historically marginalized, and (3) the need to shift from individualized to more contextual and structural understandings of privacy. We discuss the implications of these arguments not just for privacy, but for expression. We describe the tensions around freedom of expressions and content moderation online. Finally, we conclude with a reflection on these arguments for academic expression given the socio-technological context in which we work and the differential harms that impact academics from historically marginalized communities. Building on Marwick’s arguments, we call for a social, contextual, and structural approach for responding to the targeted harassment of academics to protect and ensure academic freedom for all.
网络隐私及其更广泛的影响
本文回顾了爱丽丝-马威克(Alice Marwick)的著作《私人即政治:网络隐私与社交媒体》(The Private is Political: Networked Privacy and Social Media),该书于 2023 年由耶鲁大学出版社出版。在书中,马威克认为社交媒体的数字化本质从根本上改变了当代的隐私概念。我们追溯了她论点中的三个具体要素,即:(1)网络技术连接和泄漏的设计;(2)随后对那些历史上被边缘化的人造成的不同伤害;以及(3)需要将对隐私的理解从个人化转变为更具语境性和结构性。我们讨论了这些论点不仅对隐私,而且对表达的影响。我们描述了网上表达自由与内容节制之间的紧张关系。最后,考虑到我们所处的社会技术环境,以及历史上被边缘化的群体对学者造成的不同伤害,我们对这些学术表达论点进行了反思。基于马威克的论点,我们呼吁采用社会、背景和结构性方法来应对针对学术界人士的骚扰,以保护和确保所有人的学术自由。
