Fuchs, Christian, Kees Boersma, Anders Albrechtslund, Marisol Sandoval, eds. 2012. The Internet and surveillance: The challenges of web 2.0 and social media. New York: Routledge. Chapter by Christian Fuchs: Critique of the political economy of web 2.0 surveillance. Chapter by Mark Andrejevic: Exploitation in the data mine. Chapter by Daniel Trottier and David Lyon: Key features of social media surveillance. Ask yourself:

• Make a systematic and ordered typology of characteristics of social media surveillance. Give a name to each dimension and take care that the dimensions are not overlapping. Constructing such a typology presupposes that you understand and can define the terms “social media” and “surveillance”.

• Have a look at your characteristics of social media surveillance. Give two examples that relate to specific platforms for each dimension.
