Résumé
It is becoming increasingly evident that individuals are now situated at the centre of a vast network of digital surveillance, whether by choice or otherwise. In a connected home, the concerns and behaviours of individuals faced with this surveillance are analysed from a temporal perspective. This study is based on a long-term qualitative analysis of four pairs of students who resided in a monitored flat equipped with over 70 sensors on an annual basis. The results demonstrate that, although individuals initially take measures to safeguard their data, they ultimately relinquish this practice as a consequence of the phenomenon of habituation to surveillance. This phenomenon provides an explanation for the divergence of results on the existence or otherwise of a privacy paradox.
