The successes and failures of an industry that claims to protect and promote our online identitiesWhat does privacy mean in the digital era? As technology increasingly blurs the boundary between public and private, questions about who controls our data become harder and harder to answer. Our every web view, click, and online purchase can be sold to anyone to store and use as they wish. At the same time, our online reputation has become an important part of our identitya form of cultural currency.The Identity Trade examines the relationship between online visibility and privacy, and the politics of identity and self-presentation in the digital age. In doing so, Nora Draper looks at the revealing two-decade history of efforts by the consumer privacy industry to give individuals control over their digital image through the sale of privacy protection and reputation management as a service.Through in-depth interviews with industry experts, as well as analysis of media coverage, promotional materials, and government policies, Draper examines how companies have turned the protection and promotion of digital information into a business. Along the way, she also provides insight into how these companies have responded to and shaped the ways we think about image and reputation in the digital age.Tracking the successes and failures of companies claiming to control our digital ephemera, Draper takes us inside an industry that has commodified strategies of information control. This book is a discerning overview of the debate around who controls our data, who buys and sells it, and the consequences of treating privacy as a consumer good.

Framing the Consumer Privacy Industry

From PRISM and the Edward Snowden scandal to the arrival of Google Glass, 2013 was the year that the desire to be seen and heard was turned on its head. Consider the following: in January, the TSA scrapped airport body scanners that produce near-naked images of travelers; in June, Edward Snowden revealed the widespread global-spying program, Project PRISM; in October, Google announced new privacy policy plans that allow the company to incorporate user data into advertisements. The discussion of privacywhat it is and what it isntembodies the preeminent concerns of 2013. For this reason, privacy is Dictionary.coms Word of the Year.

selfie noun, informal (also selfy; plural selfies). A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.

Today Oxford Dictionaries announces selfie as their international Word of the Year 2013. The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression that has attracted a great deal of interest during the year to date. Language research conducted by Oxford Dictionaries editors reveals that the frequency of the word selfie in the English language has increased by 17,000% since this time last year.

In 2013, I came across several social media posts juxtaposing the selections of privacy and selfie as words of the year by Dictionary.com The selection of these terms in the same year, therefore, raises a question: how can a society that is deeply implicated in cultures that encourage self-promotion and information sharing be simultaneously preoccupied with anxieties about overexposure and unwanted observation?

This tensionbetween impulses to share and anxieties about losing control over personal informationwas highlighted in 2014 when an illegal hack of Apples iCloud servers resulted in the publication and circulation of a trove of personal photographs. Although successful hacking efforts often receive news coverage, the inclusion among the stolen images of selfies taken by female celebrities, some of which depicted the women without clothing or in revealing outfits, generated immense public interest. The incidentknown alternately as celebgate and the fappeningprovoked public debate about the responsibility of image sharing platforms that were trafficking in these stolen photos. The resulting conversations contributed to ongoing debates about where and how to allocate responsibility and blame for failures to properly safeguard personal information in the digital age.

The celebgate incident clarifies the intimate connection between the cultural trends that resulted in privacy and selfie being selected as lexical exemplars in the previous year. Although selfies are visual artifactsdefined in part by their circulation through digital networksnot every selfie is intended as a public document. Expectations about the visibility of images stored on private servers or circulated in a specific network are informed by assumptions about the boundaries of those spaces. Taking a picture does not confer consent for that image to be viewed by others, just as sharing an image with a person or group does not grant rights for unlimited public visibility. Although we may not consider selfies circulated among friends or posted on social network sites to be private, we may nevertheless wish to limit how these images are accessed and by whom.
