Media of co-operation increase the potential for self-presentation both qualitatively and quantitatively. At the same time, they offer new opportunities for surveillance, and by no means only for state agencies or corporations. Thus, individuals have to deal with and appraise the tension between welcome and unwelcome observation. The project will investigate the relation between the surveillance society and a culture of maximization of media data from the perspective of adolescent users.
