Abstract

Darknet technologies are a transformative technology, particularly in the context of online social media. This paper explores social media platforms where user anonymity artificially constrains self-disclosure. It proposes a social media platform anonymity continuum that recognises how the emergence and growth of darknet social platforms - and the affordances of darknet technologies - have exposed conceptual limitations in our understanding of self-disclosure and technical and social anonymity on social media platforms.
