This document discusses the concept of risk in digital societies. It outlines how risk has become a central part of everyday life and concepts of identity. Sociocultural approaches see risk as something that can be managed through human intervention. The document then examines questions around how risks are identified and blamed and how people conceptualize and avoid risks. It introduces the idea of a "risk society" characterized by individualization, breaking norms, and perception of widespread human-made risks. Specific digital risks are covered like cybercrime, data breaches, and online harms, as well as issues of digital inequality.
