DESCRIPTION:\n	Professor of Media Studies\, University of Turku\, Finland\n	h
 ttps://www.utu.fi/en/people/susanna-paasonen\n\nIntimate Governance and th
 e Value of Sex in Social Media\n\nAbstract:\n	As networked media have grown
  infrastructural in how everyday lives are managed\, devices and apps have
  also grown into infrastructures of intimacy on which\, following Lauren B
 erlant\, we depend on for living. Intimate connections are established\, s
 evered\, and maintained through commercial platforms that collect and repu
 rpose data while delimiting the boundaries of acceptable sociability throu
 gh corporate community standards and terms of use\, many of which explicit
 ly and forcefully exclude all sexual content in the name of safety – a not
 ion that is as ephemeral as it is expansive. This talk inquires after the 
 broader implications of excluding sexuality from the realm of acceptable s
 ociability on social media platforms. What are the underlying understandin
 gs of sexuality and sociability at play? What happens to sexual rights on 
 social media platforms?\n\nBio:\n	Susanna Paasonen is Professor of Media St
 udies at University of Turku\, Finland. With an interest in studies of sex
 uality\, networked media and affect\, she is the PI of the Academy of Finl
