[T]otalizing per­spec­tives which feed into mass-surveillance were framed ide­o­log­i­cal­ly in the Romantic peri­od.

[We’re] work­ing on a project called Foxy Doxxing, which is inspired by this inter­est­ing case that came out a cou­ple of weeks ago, maybe two weeks ago, about how a woman who had been attacked on Twitter by you know, ​“the trolls” decid­ed to take foren­sic analy­sis into her own hands in order to find out who was attack­ing her online.
