Resumo(s)
Scientific and media discourse on the Internet of Things (IoT) emphasizes privacy concerns as a possible hurdle to widespread adoption. Drawing on a study conducted with users of home IoT devices and stakeholders, this article examines their perceptions, attitudes, and practices through the framework of privacy concerns, privacy rationales, and privacy work. The results show that users are ambivalent regarding data collection and transfer by IoT devices, oscillating between the advantages of personalization and fears of data commercialization, often accompanied by feelings of powerlessness and privacy resignation. Privacy rationales frequently translate into privacy work that includes rejection, digital housekeeping, and finding appropriate locations in the home. As IoT adoption expands beyond higher educated and higher skilled users, more effort should be made in regulating products and protecting citizens from the increased datafication of everyday life.
