Workshop: Social media surveillance, privacy, and data

While much of our online identity is self-constructed, there is also another identity that Beck (2015) defined as the invisible digital identity. This identity lies “under the hood” of the digital spaces that we occupy. In order to better understand the invisible digital identity, this workshop will seek to develop a digital literacy in understanding the terms of service (ToS) of social media and the ways in which we can begin to identify how algorithms aggregate and sell our data. As such, this workshop will be both hands on and discussion based in navigating what we own, how we’re protected, and what we can do to safely use and navigate social media spaces.
