Privacy, anonymity, visibility : dilemmas in tech use by marginalised communities

M. Ganesh, J. Deatch, J. Schulte

This paper synthesises reflections and learnings from two studies, in Kenya and South Africa, about how marginalised communities - lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) people in Nairobi, Kenya, and economically marginalised housing and urban development rights activists in Johannesburg, South Africa - use technologies commonly applied in transparency and accountability work, and the limits of their use of these technologies.
