Abstract(s)
Atualmente, uma grande quantidade de dados é disponibilizada nas redes sociais digitais. Tal exposição generalizada de aspetos do foro público e privado coloca questões que se prendem com a vigilância a que os utilizadores estão (potencialmente) sujeitos.
Com o progressivo aumento do uso da rede social Facebook, a problemática da vigilância ganha novos contornos e a vigilância eletrónica torna-se ainda mais intensiva e extensiva, o que coloca novos desafios teóricos e conceptuais. Procurando dar resposta a alguns desses desafios, pretende-se, nesta dissertação, recorrendo a uma metodologia qualitativa, mapear as perceções que utilizadores do Facebook possuem sobre a vigilância a que poderão estar sujeitos, tendo em conta diversas dimensões de análise: a importância atribuída à vigilância; a vigilância social e institucional; a gestão do fornecimento de dados a amigos e conhecidos versus preocupação com a privacidade; a política de privacidade do Facebook e as modalidades de resistência à vigilância.
Nowadays, a large quantity of data is available on digital social networks; such widespread exposure of aspects of public and private lives rises questions regarding with the surveillance that users are (potentially) exposed to. With the progressive use of Facebook network, the surveillance problem acquires new shapes and the electronic surveillance becomes even more either intensive and extensive, which places new theoretical and conceptual challenges. Looking for answers to some of these challenges, it is intended in this dissertation, applying a qualitative methodology, to map the perceptions that Facebook users have on the kind of surveillance that they might be exposed to, considering several analytical dimensions: the importance given to surveillance; the social and institutional surveillance; the management of data available to friends and acquaintances versus the concern with privacy; the Facebook privacy policy and the modalities of surveillance resistance.
