DESCRIPTION:This talk will describe four mechanisms by which the big data p
aradigm degrades user autonomy:
1) Sensitive data is being aggregat
ed without transparency and without meaningful consent from users\;
2) Search functions and algorithms\, content recommendations\, and ads ex
pose users to unwanted and potentially harmful content\;
3) Behavio
ral analytics creates profit\, often by exploiting addictive tendencies\,
both by platform design as well as by targeted content\;
4) Dataism
\, a growing trust in the "objectivity" of data\, justifies and reinforces
norms while further marginalizing deviant identities and behaviors.
Each of these mechanisms are increasingly problematic when the platform
in question is sexual in nature or is dealing with the collection\, sharin
g\, and use of intimate data. Keegan will provide examples of the ways in
which different sex technologies\, through these mechanisms\, are violatin
g users' capacities for self-determination\, sexual or not. The technologi
es discussed to exemplify these mechanisms include pornography\, dating ap
ps\, sex-tracking apps\, and period-tracking apps.
The aim here is
not so much to prescribe any certain path forward to overcome these comple
x issues\, but rather to provide insight on the rapidly evolving terrain o
f our consumer culture\, and perhaps inspire deeper and broader considerat
ion of the relevance of technological discourse and digital privacy to sex
education.
