Social media, surveillance and censorshiplilianedwards
Talk delivered at European University Florence, March 2012.

Can they be arenas for free speech when platforms likeTwitter are refining their censorship policies to avoid legal risk?

Gatewatching 5: Weaponising Newssharing: ‘Fake News’ and Other MalinformationAxel Bruns
Lecture 5 in the course From Gatekeeping to Gatewatching: News and Journalism in the Digital Age.
This lecture series addresses the continuing transformation of the production and consumption of journalism in the contemporary media environment. It provides a brief history of the impact of participatory online news production and engagement practices – from the first wave of citizen journalism to the social media platforms of today – on how news content is disseminated and experienced; examines reactive and proactive responses to these changes by news organisations and journalists; and explores the longer-term impact of these developments on the public sphere, touching on the power of social media platforms and their role in shaping their users’ information diets.
Readings are largely drawn from Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere (Bruns, 2018), with additional readings recommended for selected lectures.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The Arab Spring and Twitter
o Twitter analysis:
o Tracking of key hashtags (#egypt, #libya) throughout 2011
o #egypt: 23 Jan. to 30 Nov. – 7.48m tweets, 445,000 unique users
o #libya: 16 Feb. to 30 Nov. – 5.27m tweets, 476,000 unique users
o Language differentiation:
o Fewer than 10 characters above ASCII 127 tweet is ‘Latin’
o More than 10 characters above ASCII 127 tweet is ‘non-Latin’
o User groups: ‘Latin’ (< 33%), ‘mixed’ (33-66%), ‘non-Latin’ (> 66%)
o User differentiation:
o Lead users: top 1% most active users
o Highly engaged users: next 2-10% active users
o Least active users: bottom 90% active users
http://mappingonlinepublics.net/
10. Comparing Different Phases
o Twitter activity patterns change over time:
o #egypt: 1-28 Feb. vs. 15 June to 15 Sep.
o #libya: 16 Feb. to 15 Mar. vs. 1 Aug. to 30 Sep.
o Early media attention vs. later developments
o Differences in Latin / mixed / non-Latin tweeting?
o Differences between most / least active users?
o Interactions between language groups?
http://mappingonlinepublics.net/
17. Findings
o Clear differences between #egypt and #libya:
o #egypt:
o Significant Latin participation at first, then strong shift towards non-Latin
o May indicate fading of #25Jan hashtag, shift to #egypt for ongoing discussion
o Lead users especially likely to send non-Latin tweets
o More mixed-language users in lead groups
o #libya:
o Latin-dominated throughout, small shift to non-Latin
o May point to limited domestic use of / access to Twitter
o Lead users especially likely to send Latin tweets
o Both:
o Latin users most likely to engage with non-hashtag users
(e.g. news organisations, other external sources)
o Non-Latin users (in #egypt) equally engaging with non-hashtag users and mixed-language
users
o To do:
o What URLs are being shared in each case?
o Are there differences between Latin / non-Latin users?
o Are there differences between more / less active users?
