The Internet has been transformed in the past years from a system
primarily oriented on information provision into a medium for
communication and community-building. The notion of "Web 2.0",
social software, and social networking sites such as Facebook,
Twitter and MySpace have emerged in this context. With such
platforms comes the massive provision and storage of personal data
that are systematically evaluated, marketed, and used for targeting
users with advertising. In a world of global economic competition,
economic crisis, and fear of terrorism after 9/11, both
corporations and state institutions have a growing interest in
accessing this personal data. Here, contributors explore this
changing landscape by addressing topics such as commercial data
collection by advertising, consumer sites and interactive media;
self-disclosure in the social web; surveillance of file-sharers;
privacy in the age of the internet; civil watch-surveillance on
social networking sites; and networked interactive surveillance in
transnational space. This book is a result of a research action
launched by the intergovernmental network COST (European
Cooperation in Science and Technology).
