Data, Surveillance and Social Media Corporations VS Fetishism

This theme will look into the data, surveillance and social media corporations in relation to the notion of fetishism and how it utilizes social media to monitor and observe people’s behavioural patterns in order to fulfil their fixations. Using Trottier’s analogy of facebook and surveillance, I will demonstrate why data and surveillance is a weapon for personal satisfaction

According to Emmett, social media is “the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented” (Emmett 2011). Social media is now tantamount to surveillance as institutional, interpersonal as well as other kinds of scrutiny takes place on social media. Trottier believes that surveillance on social media includes numerous kinds of watchers (Trottier, 2015). “These include friends, family and employers, but also law enforcement agencies and those who control sites like Facebook” (Trottier, 2015). It is important to note that this perspective considers surveillance to be the focused and systematic collection of personal information (Lyon 2001). Boyd (2008) states that surveillance practices result in privacy violations, but also compromise factors such as social relations, social sorting and “an ever-mutating political economy of personal information” (Boyd, 2008). Social media carries a significant cultural impact (Trottier, 2015). Social media users exchange personal information and other digital media in a routinic manner. Social media is also now the center of visibility in terms of personal information. Whether we realise it or not, it fuel contemporary identity construction through micro-level relations (Trottier, 2015). Trottier (2015) believes that social media marks a consolidation of attention among individuals and institutions. ”Not only does it become the primary location to communicate with people, often in plain sight of a very broad audience, but it also becomes the first location where people are identified” (Trottier, 2015). Users of course focus much their attention towards the way their profiles look – reputation, aesthetics and such. Facebook’s increasing control of individual identities can be compared to attempts to implement national identity cards. Identity card schemes dictate that every citizen possesses a card, and that the card becomes the frontline means to identify citizens (Lyon 2009).  

Trottier uses Facebook as an example. The author asks us to consider the introduction of the news feed in September 2006. This feature aggregates users’ personal information and displays it on a prominent section of the site for others to see (Trottier, 2015). Users are often upset by these developments, but with time and experience they come to accepting Facebook as the ever-changing platform that it is. This means that their personal information will likely be disseminated in ways that are unexpected and non-consensual. Users grow accustomed to the volatility of information control on social media. What is amazing about surveillance on social media is that there are so many different kinds of watchers involved. Facebook’s continued growth amounts to a joining of visibility (all can be seen on one site), and of watching (all can watch on one site). “Surveillance becomes democratizing and decentralized, but this convergence also facilitates a centralized kind of watching” (Trottier, 2015). This is important when considering that some groups may have access to information that exceeds privacy settings put in place by users, and that those groups can protect their practices from visibility and maintain a selective presence on the site.

Trottier furthermore speaks of “mutual augmentation” and states that one must consider three tangible types of surveillance: (a) individuals watching over one another, (b) institutions watching over a target population, and (c) businesses watching over their market. Individual, institutional, and market scrutiny all rely on the same interface and information (Trottier, 2011). This means that personal information that has been uploaded for any single purpose will potentially be used for several kinds of surveillance. All three types of ‘watching’ are augmented by social media’s growth, as more users are joining the site to watch over peers, populations, and markets. The potential of being watched by others contextualizes their own surveillance. Not only does this suggest that surveillance is extensive on the site, but it also dampens users’ ethical concerns about covertly watching others(Trottier, 2011).

Police and other investigative agencies are turning to social media in order to collect information about criminal activity (Lynch, 2010).Threats that are uttered online are treated as punishable offences (Protalinski 2011). For example, In the United States, Department of Homeland Security officials are ‘friending’ applicants for citizenship in order to scrutinize them (Lynch 2010). Police can obtain information on social media through conventional and unconventional means. Social media services have opened up official channels for police to obtain private information from their servers (Trottier, 2011). Professional watchers are often personal users, and this knowledge and access are assets. A lot of information on social media can be obtained simply by logging on to these sites (Trottier, 2011). Mutual augmentation suggests that different watchers trigger each other’s surveillance. Interpersonal transparency and disclosure is a specific kind of visibility that improves formal types of surveillance. Users are increasingly comfortable on a platform that is the first line of scrutiny for investigations (Lynch, 2010).

“On first pass it seems that all social media users have the potential to watch over each other. But those who manage the enclosure have a privileged view of its contents. As a result, user behaviour can trigger revisions to the interface”. Fetishistic disorder is an intense sexual attraction to objects or body parts not traditionally viewed as sexual, coupled with clinically significant distress or impairment (Kafka, 2010). Just like anything, social media has a dark side to it. Many stories have been told about connections made over social media which had a tragic end to a story. One I’d like to address is about Corrective rape. In 2014, a lesbian woman named Thabsile Gumede from Thokoza was befriended by a Facebook account holder, who is also an apparent lesbian, who came across as inconspicuous and not dangerous. After months of communicating on the application and establishing a connection, Thabsile was proposed a date. Little did Thabsile know that she had indeed been communicating with someone who lied about their identity. The meeting took place in a private area where she could not receive any help. When she reached the meeting venue, instead of the image of the Facebook profile Thabsile was familiar with, it was a man – Jabu Malunge – who appeared. “Why are you dressing like this? Acting like a boy? Why are you dating women? ”She answered: “I’m just being me.” “No, you are a woman.” He said. Thabile became a victim of corrective rape that evening. The man, Jabu Malunge, was found and arrested and questioned by a psychologist. The psychologist then determined that Jabu has a Fetishistic disorder. He spent months on social media, cyber stalking Thabsile to learn her routines, to figure out who she spends her time with and her general life dynamics. When he was asked why he did such a cruel thing he responded “Having sex with women who think they are men arouses me. I wanted her to feel that she was a woman and not the man she’s pretending to be”. Jabu had done this terrible act to many lesbian women who were too afraid to speak out. “Fetishistic disorder tends to have a continuous course that fluctuates in intensity and frequency of urges or behavior along the life course” (Kafka, 2010). Data, surveillance and social media may have a devastating aftermath on the victim as seen in this incident
