In my last post, I started sounding forth on the messy, complicated, work in progress issue of privacy and our lives online. I found that there's a whole lotta, quite valid, reasons as to why we want privacy online and that it seems, we're still figuring out what are the boundaries. For a big finish, I drew on the work of Foucault and the 'panopticon' effect of the constant surveillance that social media suggests and how that can affect us. In this final post on privacy, I want to look at our right to privacy, how might we begin to define privacy for social media and what the implications can be for PR and public communications practice.Ruminations on social media, communications, connection....oh, and paper clips.
