A compelling firsthand investigation of how social media and big
data have amplified the close relationship between privacy and
inequality  Online privacy is under constant attack by
social media and big data technologies. But we cannot rely on
individual actions to remedy this—it is a matter of social
justice. Alice E. Marwick offers a new way of understanding how
privacy is jeopardized, particularly for marginalized and
disadvantaged communities—including immigrants, the poor, people
of color, LGBTQ+ populations, and victims of online harassment.
 Marwick shows that few resources or regulations for
preventing personal information from spreading on the internet.
Through a new theory of “networked privacy,” she reveals how
current legal and technological frameworks are woefully inadequate
in addressing issues of privacy—often by design. Drawing from
interviews and focus groups encompassing a diverse group of
Americans, Marwick shows that even heavy social media users care
deeply about privacy and engage in extensive “privacy work” to
protect it. But people are up against the violation machine of the
modern internet. Safeguarding privacy must happen at the collective
level.
