Incidents of online harassment are increasing and can have significant consequences for victims. Witnesses (“digital bystanders”) can be crucial
in identifying and challenging harassment. This study considered when and how young adults intervene…

With the increase in algorithms on social media, scholarship is increasingly focused on “algorithmic literacy,” or users’ understanding of
algorithms. Algorithmic literacy is multi-faceted (knowledge, attitudes, and behavior), and researchers are…

Social media platforms employ algorithmic recommendations to optimize the user’s experience and incentivize particular forms of cultural pro-
duction. While prior research shows that creators respond to these incentives and seek to optimize their…

Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks are an emerging technology at the center of the datafication and optimization of far-reaching environmental
infrastructures—from “smart cities” to workplace efficiencies. However, this low-power, low-cost…

In-home sensor systems supported by machine learning are increasingly used to enhance communication between those living with long-term
conditions such as dementia and healthcare professionals and carers who support them. Perspectives from the…

This special issue examines mediated communication through the rise of sensors. Sensors are increasingly in the phones we carry, in the cars

we drive, and throughout the homes and communities in which we live. In this introduction to the special…

Sensor-based technologies (SBTs) allow users to track biometric data and feature interactions that foster social support. The social support from
SBTs can increase intrinsic motivation to engage in and sustain positive health behaviors. Guided by…

This article explores how women in Turkey use sensing technologies to render visible their productivity at home in ways that contest home–
workplace boundary under neoliberal, digital capitalism. It does so by focusing on a group of lower- and…

This study investigates digital parenting divides, or how parents’ strategies for regulating their children’s online activities differ based on their
available resources and digital parenting readiness (i.e., digital parenting self-efficacy,…

This article examines the “sensor work” carried out in the development of autonomous vehicles which, without sensor data, would not and
arguably still do not, have the capacity to decide on where, and how, to drive. I begin by discussing three…
