The Teen Meme Privacy Project set out to address particular ways in which privacy and surveillance impact youth, complicated by intersections of their sociopolitical identities. We committed to acknowledge the reality of systems of power in their lives – such as white supremacy, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy. By honestly and unequivocally engaging these within the context of their lived experiences, we worked with our Teen Advisory Board to create relevant, authentic, and impactful shareable material, and fill the need for a robust set of privacy resources made just for teens, on topics they care about, in language and formats they use.
