The neighborhood is a historic and contemporary site of the assertion of white racial and economic domination, particularly over Black people. Although there is strong evidence that whites continue to prefer racially segregated neighborhoods, fifty years of fair housing jurisprudence has made it more difficult to openly bar non-white residents. Among the many strategies used to protect white domination of residential space is the coordinated surveillance and policing of non-white people. In this paper, I show how Nextdoor, a neighborhood-based social network, has become an important platform for the surveillance and policing of race in residential space, enabling the creation of what I call digitally gated communities. First, I describe the history of the platform and the forms of segregation and surveillance it has supplemented or replaced. Second, I situate the platform in a broader analysis of carcerality as a mode and logic of regulating race in the United States. Third, using examples drawn from public reports about the site, I illustrate how race is surveilled and policed in the context of gentrification and integration. Finally, I discuss implications, questions, and future issues that might arise on the platform.

建立数字化门控社区：隔壁的案例

该社区是白人和经济统治者断言的历史和当代遗址，尤其是对黑人的统治。尽管有充分的证据表明，白人继续偏爱种族隔离的社区，但五十年的公平住房法理使得公开禁止非白人居民更加困难。在保护白人占主导地位的居住空间的众多策略中，有一项是对非白人的协调监督和维持治安。在本文中，我将展示基于邻域的社交网络Nextdoor如何成为监视和监管居住空间种族的重要平台，从而创建所谓的数字门控社区。首先，我描述了平台的历史以及其补充或替代的隔离和监视形式。其次，我将平台放在更广泛的角度来分析car病，将其作为美国监管种族的一种模式和逻辑。第三，使用有关该站点的公共报告中的示例，我说明了在高档化和融合的背景下如何对种族进行监视和监管。最后，我讨论了平台上可能出现的含义，问题和将来的问题。
