Dear All
Apologies for the long hiatus in blogging!! Unfortunately, the doctorate and my part-time job are keeping me pretty busy and away from blogging!!
Normal duties will definitely resume once I submit the doctoral thesis later this year!!
For those of you who fervently keep abreast of the privacy issues related to Facebook, my upcoming talk at the Kent Critical Law Society Conference 2013 may be of interest. I will present a paper entitled
'The Irish Facebook Audit: On
Power and Relations' this Saturday.
This paper will highlight some of the key
findings of my doctoral research related to the Irish Data Protection
Commissioner`s audit of Facebook. In particular, I will explore how the
audit process is constructed as a 'socio-legal-technological' process,
what rationalities and practices render the audit process 'reasonable',
'routinised' and 'rational.' I will also suggest possible reasons for
the rise of an 'audit' culture in Facebook.
