Abstract

Transborder data flows offer opportunities, such as health data sharing, but they also bring risk. Research has explored the tensions between transnational and regional linkages, striving to understand when transborder flows of data bring benefits or drawbacks. By viewing global data flows as a social change process, this commentary strives to complement existing perspectives. It advocates embedding data studies within the framework of social transformation theory to transcend the distinction between theory and its empirical application across diverse social and cultural contexts. Inspired by Stephen Castles’ approach to human migration, it introduces the concept of “social data migration” as a dynamic social transformation. This approach enhances our understanding of the complex, interconnected, and context-dependent nature of transnational flows of data across platforms amid rapid global changes.

社会数据迁移概念：分析后工业经济中的跨境数据流动

跨境数据流动提供了机会，例如卫生数据共享，但也带来了风险。研究探索了跨国和区域联系之间的紧张关系，努力了解数据的跨境流动何时带来好处或缺点。通过将全球数据流视为一个社会变革过程，本评论力求补充现有观点。倡导将数据研究嵌入到社会转型理论的框架中，超越理论与实证应用在不同社会文化背景下的区别。受Stephen Castles人类迁移方法的启发，本书引入了“社会数据迁移”的概念，将其视为一种动态的社会转型。这种方法增强了我们对全球快速变化中跨平台跨国数据流动的复杂性、相互关联性和情境依赖性的理解。

期刊介绍： Social Media + Society is an open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal that focuses on the socio-cultural, political, psychological, historical, economic, legal and policy dimensions of social media in societies past, contemporary and future. We publish interdisciplinary work that draws from the social sciences, humanities and computational social sciences, reaches out to the arts and natural sciences, and we endorse mixed methods and methodologies. The journal is open to a diversity of theoretic paradigms and methodologies. The editorial vision of Social Media + Society draws inspiration from research on social media to outline a field of study poised to reflexively grow as social technologies evolve. We foster the open access of sharing of research on the social properties of media, as they manifest themselves through the uses people make of networked platforms past and present, digital and non. The journal presents a collaborative, open, and shared space, dedicated exclusively to the study of social media and their implications for societies. It facilitates state-of-the-art research on cutting-edge trends and allows scholars to focus and track trends specific to this field of study.
