Description

Social, ethical and regulatory challenges in the social media porn industry. This project aims to map the social, ethical, and regulatory challenges for creators, audiences, and intermediaries in Australia’s emerging social media pornography industry. It will generate new insights into social media porn work, using qualitative methods that centre the experiences of porn creators and audiences. Expected outcomes include revealing the role of social media porn in Australia’s digital economy, and equipping policymakers and porn creators with information on the current landscape in Australia. This should provide significant benefits for government and the industry seeking to balance personal freedoms, economic growth, and legal oversight, as well as understanding porn creation as a form of digital sexual labour.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4701 - Communication and Media Studies. Lead: Dr Emily van der Nagel
