在变装皇后中，常见的是发布截图，滑稽地突出Facebook错误地将他们的照片标记为彼此的时刻，这表明变装化妆提供了一种独特的方法来混淆面部识别算法。本文借鉴酷儿、跨性别者和新媒体理论，考虑变装作为一种信息混淆形式的方式，即以夸张的化妆和以半虚构的姓名、历史和个人信息为特色的社交媒体个人资料的形式添加“噪音”。此外，通过表演高度可见的身份，不断变化，并通过营地和真实性模式参与复杂形式的真实性，变装皇后破坏了许多关于用户和流行技术使用的共同理解，对数据完整性的假设，甚至是确保隐私的方法。通过这种方式，拖拽既提供了一个特定于文化的框架，用于概念化酷儿和跨性别者对监视的反应，也提供了一个潜在的工具包，用于避免、阻挠或减轻数字观察。
Among drag queens, it is common to post screenshots comically highlighting moments in which Facebook incorrectly tags their photos as one another, suggesting that drag makeup offers a unique method for confusing facial recognition algorithms. Drawing on queer, trans, and new media theories, this article considers the ways in which drag serves as a form of informational obfuscation, by adding “noise” in the form of over-the-top makeup and social media profiles that feature semi-fictional names, histories, and personal information. Further, by performing identities that are highly visible, are constantly changing, and engage complex forms of authenticity through modes of camp and realness, drag queens disrupt many common understandings about the users and uses of popular technologies, assumptions of the integrity of data, and even approaches to ensuring privacy. In this way, drag offers both a culturally specific framework for conceptualizing queer and trans responses to surveillance and a potential toolkit for avoiding, thwarting, or mitigating digital observation.
