Traditional models of privacy are individualistic, but the realities of privacy reflect the location of individuals in contexts and networks. The affordances of social technologies, which enable people to share information about others, further preclude individual control over privacy. Despite this, social media technologies primarily follow technical models of privacy that presume individual information control. We argue that the dynamics of sites like Facebook have forced teens to alter their conceptions of privacy to account for the networked nature of social media. Drawing on their practices and experiences, we offer a model of networked privacy to explain how privacy is achieved in networked publics.}, publisher = {Sage}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/networked-privacy-how-teenagers-negotiate-context-in-social-media/}, journal = {New Media & Society}, edition = {New Media & Society}, note = {Sage does not allow for online prints by authors.}, }
