This article outlines the “social media surveillance assemblage” (Trottier 2011: 63) on Facebook, including its deployment against social activists. In particular, it traces intersecting, dynamic, and opaque data flows among Facebook, third parties, and law enforcement that undermine Black Lives Matter activists and suppress social dissent in the United States. Sources of data include interviews with academics, lawyers, and researchers as well as an in-depth examination of platform policies, Freedom of Information Act requests/lawsuits, and news articles. Theories of the surveillance assemblage (Trottier 2011), the surveillance-industrial complex (Hayes 2012), and surveillance capitalism (Zuboff 2015, 2019) frame the interviews and documents, demonstrating the multi-faceted nature of social media surveillance. Providing an interdisciplinary focus, this article engages with the fields of private policing, surveillance studies, and social movements literature. The article’s empirical data contribute to the existing literature by stressing the role of third parties and providing insights into the nontransparent system of surveillance on social media.

Facebook 和监视组合：监管黑人的命也是命活动家并压制异议

本文概述了 Facebook 上的“社交媒体监控组合”（Trottier 2011：63），包括针对社会活动家的部署。特别是，它追踪了 Facebook、第三方和执法部门之间的交叉、动态和不透明的数据流，这些数据流破坏了 Black Lives Matter 活动家并压制了美国的社会异议。数据来源包括对学者、律师和研究人员的采访，以及对平台政策、信息自由法请求/诉讼和新闻文章的深入研究。监视组合（Trottier 2011）、监视工业复合体（Hayes 2012）和监视资本主义（Zuboff 2015，2019）的理论构成了采访和文件的框架，展示了社交媒体监视的多面性。提供跨学科的重点，本文涉及私人警务、监视研究和社会运动文献领域。文章的实证数据通过强调第三方的作用并提供对社交媒体上不透明的监控系统的见解，为现有文献做出了贡献。
