In June 2025, I attended ICA where I was part of of a panel called, “Resurrecting Platform Pasts: Learning From Research on Defunct, Dead, or Obsolete Social Media Platforms.” We reflected on what we can learn from research about now-defunct or obsolete social media platforms. In another session, I presented my research on Prison TikTok, discussing how currently incarcerated people resist, reframe, and reinforce incarceration stigmas on social media.
