How Does Surveillance Frame Social Networking Sites?

The research questions addressed in Social Networking Sites and the Surveillance Society by Christian Fuch are:

  • How does economic and political surveillance frame social networking site usage?

  • How knowledgeable are students about surveillance in society?

  • How critical are students about the potential surveillance by state and corporation?

  • How does the degree of knowledge about surveillance and the degree of critical consciousness on surveillance influence the usage of social networking sites?

The report is a case study of student usage of studiVZ, Facebook, and MySpace. Hat tip to beSpacific. [JH]
