emergence of complicit risk communities where
personal information becomes social capital which
is traded and exchanged and where the concept
of public or private can be defined through the
nature of users' access, gaze, and the transactions
and interactions they permit.
The culture of social networking sites thrives
on the narcissistic and the performative, on one
hand, and reciprocity and exchange, on the other.
Hence the potential dangers and risks of willingly
disclosing and displaying personal details become
part of the architecture or code of these sites. The
appropriation of new technologies by individuals
in order to communicate, form new communities,
and maintain existing relationships signifies new
ways in which risk becomes embedded and en-
coded into our social practices, posing new ethical
and legal challenges which inadvertently expand
the landscape of risk.
