[Air-L] "creepy" social media studies

[Greg Elmer]

Hi folks, wondering if anyone has come across research that discusses
users' feelings of being creeped out or similar expressions of discomfort
with regards to the surveillant capacities and techniques of social media.
Please email me off-list and I can post a summary if there is interest.
