Abstract
With the increasing use of social networks, particularly Facebook, a large amount of data is made available. Such extensive and intensive disclosure of public and private matter aspects of individuals’ lives leads to theoretical and conceptual challenges. To answer some of these challenges, it is intended in this article, through the use of a qualitative methodology, to analyse the perceptions that Facebook users have of the surveillance they are subjected to, as well as the identification of prevention strategies that can be adopted. The interaction of these analysis dimensions has enabled the creation of a user typology that it is important, given the very recent nature of the object of this study, to confront and develop through new research. ************************************************************************************************************************************************* Avec l’usage croissant des réseaux sociaux, en particulier de Facebook, un grand nombre de données sont disponibles. Une telle divulgation extensive et intensive des aspects publics et privés de la vie des individus conduit à des défis théoriques et conceptuels. Afin d’y répondre, cet article prévoit à partir d’une méthodologie qualitative, une analyse des perceptions que les utilisateurs de Facebook ont de la surveillance dont ils font l’objet, ainsi que de l’identification des stratégies de prévention qu’ils peuvent adopter. L’interaction de telles dimensions d’analyse a permis la création d’une importante typologie d’utilisateurs, compte tenu de la nature très récente de ce type d’étude, qu’il faudra confronter et approfondir dans de nouvelles recherches.
