隐私在心理上很重要，对民主至关重要，在无处不在和移动的监控技术时代，面临着日益复杂的威胁和挑战。然而，监视往往是合理的，因为人们“没有什么可隐瞒的”。我们进行了焦点小组（N= 42）的监控和隐私的主题，并使用话语分析，确定意识形态的假设和人们采取的立场，使他们在一个监控社会的参与感。我们发现了一个前提，即监视越来越不可避免，但只有当人们报告感觉被歪曲时，或者当他们无法隐瞒自己身份的某些方面时，这一点才会遭到反对。监控技术的可见性也使监控的构建变得复杂。那些有兴趣让公众参与关于监视的辩论的人可能会更好地强调监视的身份后果，而不是将监视构建为一种普遍的隐私威胁。
Privacy is psychologically important, vital for democracy, and in the era of ubiquitous and mobile surveillance technology, facing increasingly complex threats and challenges. Yet surveillance is often justified under a trope that one has ‘nothing to hide’. We conducted focus groups (N= 42) on topics of surveillance and privacy and using discursive analysis, identify the ideological assumptions and the positions that people adopt to make sense of their participation in a surveillance society. We find a premise that surveillance is increasingly inescapable, but this was only objected to when people reported feeling misrepresented, or where they had an inability to withhold aspects of their identities. The (in)visibility of the surveillance technology also complicated how surveillance is constructed. Those interested in engaging the public in debates about surveillance may be better served by highlighting the identity consequences of surveillance, rather than constructing surveillance as a generalised privacy threat.
