The publication has been supported by EU COST – European Cooperation in
Science and Technology and the EU COST Action IS0807 “Living in
Surveillance Societies“.

This book is the first ever published volume that is dedicated to Internet
surveillance in the age of what has come to be termed “social media” or
“web 2.0″ (blogs, wikis, file sharing, social networking sites, microblogs,
user-generated content sites, etc). The Internet has been transformed in
the past years from a system primarily oriented on information provision
into a medium for communication and community-building. The notion of “Web
2.0”, social software, and social networking sites such as Facebook,
Twitter and MySpace have emerged in this context. With such platforms comes
the massive provision and storage of personal data that are systematically
evaluated, marketed, and used for targeting users with advertising. In a
world of global economic competition, economic crisis, and fear of
terrorism after 9/11, both corporations and state institutions have a
growing interest in accessing this personal data. Here, contributors
explore this changing landscape by addressing topics such as commercial
data collection by advertising, consumer sites and interactive media;
self-disclosure in the social web; surveillance of file-sharers; privacy in
the age of the internet; civil watch-surveillance on social networking
sites; and networked interactive surveillance in transnational space. This
book is a result of a research action launched by the intergovernmental
network COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
