Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the views expressed in the television show You on topics such as digital interactions, surveillance and privacy. The series in question helps to take the discussion beyond the simplistic view of opposition between the real and virtual world and, thus, address the problems that actually exist around the use of technologies in our society: the invasion of privacy and the constant surveillance that not only the female protagonist of the series is submitted, but also, with due proportions, all the billions of social media users, who have fun and express themselves through these tools while their data is exploited.
