Networked privacy and its broader implications.

This article reviews Alice Marwick's 2023 book *The Private is Political: Networked Privacy and Social Media*, which argues that the digital and networked nature of social media fundamentally transforms contemporary understandings of privacy. Marwick highlights three key elements: the design of networked technologies to both connect and leak information, the disproportionate privacy harms experienced by historically marginalized groups (including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of color), and the need to shift from individualized to contextual and structural frameworks of privacy. The article further explores the implications of Marwick's arguments for freedom of expression, content moderation, and academic freedom, noting the rise of targeted online harassment against marginalized academics, particularly in the U.S., and calls for structural responses within institutions to protect academic freedom and address networked privacy violations.
