Our article offers a user-centered contribution to understanding individual differences in experiencing triggers of a sense of dataveillance and adds to the empirical understanding on behavioral consequences, such as chilling effects.
2) Everyday life events become triggers when users consume information about dataveillance or feel that they are or someone else is subjected to it.
3) This is determined by the users’ imaginaries of dataveillance and the visibility of dataveillance practices.
Key findings:
1) Triggers of a sense of dataveillance are embedded in everyday life and can be characterized by who initiates them: corporate actors, public actors, private individual actors, or the self.
Based on a qualitative diary study with Swiss internet users, the article maps online and offline events in everyday life that trigger a sense of dataveillance—the feeling of being watched or listened to online.
