Who owns the content?

It is an odd sensation, the feeling of lost sovereignty over self that comes with posting content online. Shrouded with social acceptance and normalisation, this feeling has become a norm of online privacy affordances. There seems to have been a collective social agreement that once content is posted or shared on an online platform, it no longer belongs to the individual but is an article of public possession, free to be acquired, interpreted, shared and edited by absolutely anyone. 

Who does posted content belong to? The content subject? The sharer? The appropriator? (Image source: Alamy) 

As quoted in Megan Whelan’s Wireless article, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said in 2010 that privacy is no longer a social norm, it is no longer achievable nor expected within the affordances of the internet. I wholly agree with Zuckerberg’s statement, yet the reality of this does not sit right with my ethical compass. Elements of respect for boundaries and contexts are missing from the conversation of ownership. The case of actor Teuila Blakely, as examined in Whelan’s piece,  demonstrates the normalised attitude of acceptance towards privacy and ownership disempowerment. Videoed partaking in a sex act with a prominent rugby league player, the content of Blakely spiralled its way to Twitter and eventually to mainstream media outlets. 

Blakely and friend Konrad Hurrell, who also featured in the leaked video.

Blakely claims an acceptance of the culture of sharing explicit content in a small circle, saying that the act of sharing the content made her the one responsible for the fact of it leaking to greater media. Whilst I admit that Blakely is correct in acknowledging the reality of sharing norms, I believe an ethical boundary was crossed in sharing the explicit content of her to a greater audience without her prior knowledge and permission. 

Whilst Blakely accepts the nature of sharing content, she was unprepared for and at the online backlash she copped as a result of the video being shared to a wider audience without permission. (Source: NowToLove blog) 

It seems internet users are conditioned to accept shifting boundaries and no longer question the emotional, social and psychological ramifications the act of sharing and recontextualising another content can have on the individual.

The Privacy Horrors of Facebook: Week 9

Facebook is by far one of the most used social platform for me personally. I’ve had it and used it for communication for an insane amount of time, making my profile in year 6, meaning 8 years ago when I was 11 years old. Using it as young as 11, I didn’t understand privacy at all, I just used Facebook for the fun games and to talk to my friends, since reading the week 9 reading, and writing this blog, it has only come to my concern that my Facebook privacy settings may be public. 

It was clear I didn’t quite understand how to use Facebook back then, so setting up my profile, I wouldn’t have been aware of all the implications and privacy meets. Back then it was socially normal to just use Facebook for games and to be silly, however since then I never made a new profile nor changed any settings, so I wouldn’t be surprised if 11-year-old Nina never protected her privacy simply because she wouldn’t have known how, and the social norms have most definitely changed from playing games, to communicating friends, stalking people, uploading photos/videos so my privacy these days should matter.

 After stalking my own account on Facebook, I was shocked, developing a sick feeling in my stomach while scrolling down on all my content that I thought only my friends would be able to see. I discovered that people could follow me, and that I currently have over a thousand followers, that aren’t my friends on Facebook, but they can still follow my posts and read my content, knowing that over a thousand strangers, or friends through friends have been following me, makes me feel unconfutable. I also noticed the public can access and see 940+ photos that I’ve either uploaded or been tagged in. Being a teenager at University I obviously have many photos I probably wouldn’t want everyone seeing, well little did I know, everyone can see them, things such as birthday posts others have posted on my wall, embarrassing photos and videos are all public. For 8 years, I have been wrong about my privacy settings, I experimented a little while stalking myself, and looked up my phone number, it was a surprising shock that my name popped up, I don’t remember linking my phone number up with Facebook, and this is another breach of my privacy, that people can access my personal phone number. Actor from Shortland Street Teuila Blakely stated that “people can be very careful about privacy settings, but people circumvent them”. It is possible to change your privacy settings on social platforms these days, however like me, we just don’t do it, which I can relate to immensely. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook “famously said in 2010 that privacy is no longer a social norm” and that people no longer have an expectation of privacy, Teuila backed this statement up with her own opinion that she feels like she has “the right to a private life” but she also feels like “in this day and age, is there any way of actually protecting that?”. I can relate to this, as now days everything is displayed on the internet, and somehow nobody cares, for 8 years it has never crossed my mind to check my privacy settings. After researching this, I am going to change my settings to be more private as it all scared me. Since researching this, I’ve talked about the issue in casual conversation, I got into a conversation with my step dad, he told me that he interviews clients, and as part of the process he stalks them on Facebook, he told me he’s declined hundreds of applications due to the content he has found on their account. This has all influenced me to change my settings and save my privacy, as I’m growing up and will eventually need a stable job, This research has been a wakeup call to change.

Yesterday Teuila Blakely went on the radio and spoke publicly about her sex tape scandal that took place this week. She is honestly one of the most inspiring women, and the way she is handling the situation is amazing. To be ridiculed by so many and still stand so proudly and accept responsibility for her actions says so much about her as a person. She has done absolutely nothing wrong and I really admire her for staying strong in this situation. So proud to have women like this in New Zealand. I hope things get better for her soon.
