ABSTRACT
Ethnocentric conceptualizations on privacy in social media are common and mainly represent the views of white and middle-class populations. Such conceptualizations combined with an underrepresentation of minority voices in empirical studies make it difficult to understand privacy at the margins. In this chapter, we present empirical studies focused on the privacy of ethno-religious minority children and youth in Flanders, Belgium. Building on these studies, we propose a working definition to study privacy among minorities. Finally, we put forward three considerations to better understand minorities’ privacy in social media.
