This week on Privacy Please, we discuss the concept of feeling "normal" in the digital realm. Despite the increasing presence of surveillance and data collection, users in the United States seem unfazed and have developed a sense of acceptance within digital infrastructures. Feeling "normal" online provides a sense of comfort, connection, and social inclusion, even though it may not evoke strong emotions. This desire for normalcy explains why users identify with digital platforms, despite being aware of the potential harm associated with them.
