This book examines how intimate relationships are built, negotiated
and maintained through social media. The study takes a
cross-platform approach, analysing three social media platforms of
different genres - Badoo, Couchsurfing and Facebook - and exploring
two interactive forces that shape the way people communicate
through social media: the platforms' architecture and policies, and
actual practises of use. Combining analysis of the political
economy of social media with users' perspectives of their own
practises - as well as exploring the tensions between the two - the
book provides a detailed picture of intimacy as a complex structure
of continuity and change.
