• Title: The Sociotechnical Stack: Opportunities for Social Computing Research in Non-consensual Intimate Media
• Authors: Li Qiwei, Allison McDonald, Oliver L. Haimson, Sarita Schoenebeck, Eric Gilbert,
• Abstract summary: Non-consensual intimate media (NCIM) involves sharing intimate content without the depicted person's consent, including "revenge porn" and sexually explicit deepfakes. This paper addresses the gap by linking NCIM harms to the specific technological components that facilitate them. We introduce the sociotechnical stack, a conceptual framework designed to map the technical stack to its corresponding social impacts.

• Abstract: Non-consensual intimate media (NCIM) involves sharing intimate content without the depicted person's consent, including "revenge porn" and sexually explicit deepfakes. While NCIM has received attention in legal, psychological, and communication fields over the past decade, it is not sufficiently addressed in computing scholarship. This paper addresses this gap by linking NCIM harms to the specific technological components that facilitate them. We introduce the sociotechnical stack, a conceptual framework designed to map the technical stack to its corresponding social impacts. The sociotechnical stack allows us to analyze sociotechnical problems like NCIM, and points toward opportunities for computing research. We propose a research roadmap for computing and social computing communities to deter NCIM perpetration and support victim-survivors through building and rebuilding technologies.

  This paper unpacks the challenges workers face when consenting to workplace wellbeing technologies. We show how workers are vulnerable to "meaningless" consent as they may be subject to power dynamics that minimize their ability to withhold consent. To meaningfully consent, participants wanted changes to the technology and to the policies and practices surrounding the technology.
