Weekend Pictures

The goal of this platform is to assist creators of user-generated content to prudently maximize their use of the internet as a creative outlet.

Specifically, Weekend Pictures is here to provide insight into the ways in which the sharing of photos, videos, rants, romances, banana bread recipes and the like via a networked online environment impacts privacy.

While we’re at it, we’ll also explore what we even mean these days when we speak of privacy, where that increasingly blurred line between public and private can be found, whose responsibility is it to be worrying (or not) about the culling and commodification of personal information, and how concerns over the control of our digital data doubles extends beyond embarrassing party snaps.

In the spirit of user-generated content, this site is chalk full of video interviews on the topic of user-generated content and privacy conducted with academics, students, bloggers, journalists, Facebookers, lawyers, and others.
