Would you want a say?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Massive amounts of personal data<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We produce data every day as part of our work, communication, banking, housing, transportation and social life. We are often unaware \u2014 and therefore unable to refuse \u2014 how much data we produce, and we seldom have a say in how it\u2019s used, stored or deployed.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of control negatively impacts us, and the effects are disproportionate across the different intersections of race, gender and class.

Examples include diary-style blogs, creative writing, selfies and participating in fandom. This user-generated content, unless actions are taken to carefully delete them, can have a long life:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2018\/01\/10\/the-tyranny-of-the-internet-is-forever\/\">the internet is forever<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Decisions about what should happen to our digital traces should be influenced by the people who made them. Their use impacts our privacy, autonomy and anonymity, and is ultimately a question of power.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, when a website or platform \u201cdies,\u201d or \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netlingo.com\/word\/sunset.php\">sunsets<\/a>,\u201d decisions about data are made by employees of the company on an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/opinion\/story\/2021-05-04\/yahoo-answers-shut-down-social-platforms\">ad-hoc basis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-66964\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GeoCities.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GeoCities.png 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GeoCities-186x250.png 186w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Controlling data<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Proprietary data \u2014 that which is produced on a platform and held by the company \u2014 is at the discretion of the company, not the people who produced it. More often, options that a platform provides to users to determine their privacy or deletion do not remove all digital traces from the internal database. While some data is deleted on a regular basis (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2020\/mar\/10\/yahoo-deleted-all-my-emails-and-theres-nothing-i-can-do-about-it\">like Yahoo email<\/a>), other data can remain online for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, this data is collected by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/\">Internet Archive<\/a>, an online digital library. Once archived, it becomes part of our collective cultural heritage. But there is no consensus or standards for how this data should be treated.<\/p>\n<p>Users should be invited to consider how they would want their platform data to be collected, stored, preserved, deployed or destroyed, and in which contexts. What should become of our data?<\/p>\n<p>In my research, I interviewed users about their opinions on archiving and deletion. Responses varied drastically: while some were disappointed when they discovered their blogs from the 2000s had vanished, others were horrified at their continued existence.<\/p>\n<p>These varying opinions often fell along differences in context of production such as: the original size of their perceived audience, the sensitivity of the material, and whether the content comprised photographs or text, used vague or explicit language, or contained links to identifiable information like a current Facebook profile.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Privacy protections<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It is often\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aoir.org\/ethics\/\">debated by researchers<\/a>\u00a0whether user-generated content should be used for research, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/JICES-12-2021-0125\">under what conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ethics.gc.ca\/eng\/policy-politique_tcps2-eptc2_2022.html\">Tri-Council Policy Statement<\/a>\u00a0guidelines for ethical research assert that publicly accessible information has no reasonable expectations of privacy. However, there are interpretations that include social media specific requirements for ethical use. Still, public and private distinctions are not easily made within digital contexts.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr-info.eu\/\">General Data Protection Regulation<\/a>\u00a0(GDPR) has helped shift the standards with which personal data is treated by corporations and beyond, expanding rights to consider restrictions to access, amend, delete and move personal data.<\/p>\n<p>Articles 17 and 19 of the GDPR on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataprotection.ie\/en\/individuals\/know-your-rights\/right-erasure-articles-17-19-gdpr\">right to erasure (the right to be forgotten)<\/a>\u00a0are a significant move toward individual digital privacy rights. Those in the EU have legal standing to remove their digital traces, should it contribute towards personal injury, harm or provide inaccurate information.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The right to online safety<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>However, many have argued that a focus on individual privacy through informed consent is not well placed in digital contexts where privacy is often collectively experienced. Informed consent models also perpetuate expectations that individuals can maintain boundaries around their data and should be able to anticipate future uses of it.<\/p>\n<p>Suggesting that platform users can \u201ctake charge\u201d of their digital lives places the impetus on them to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reallifemag.com\/digital-hygiene\/\">constantly self-surveil and limit their digital traces<\/a>. Most data production is out of a user\u2019s control, simply because of the metadata generated by moving through online space.<\/p>\n<p>If the web is to be a space of learning, play, exploration and connection, then constantly mitigating future risk by anticipating how and when personal information may be used actively works against those goals.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Katie Mackinnon is a Postdoctoral Fellow, Critical Digital Humanities Initiative at the University of Toronto<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet plays a central role in our lives.
