Violencia de género expandida: vigilancia y privacidad en red

Abstract

In this paper, we present a reflection that links gender violence in digital environments, mass surveillance, discussions about privacy and the right to privacy on the internet. We analyze how the Internet can be the scene of two types of violence: one, located at the level of interactions (doxing, harassment, extortion and threats, identity theft, alteration and publication of photos and videos without consent, among others). The other, more invisible, is implicit in the architecture of the network, because, by promoting a systematic and gigantic system of tracking and analysis of personal data to feed the Internet business model, it has established a potential monitoring system that can affect the rights of women, via digital traces. To support this, we will examine the various notions of surveillance and privacy (Bruno, 2013; Siri, 2015; Sparrow, 2014) and current legislation in order to understand how they affect the human rights of women in cyberspace.
