- The analysis found that the percentage of internet posts that cross the boundaries of appropriateness remains marginal, around 1-5% depending on the platform, with most inappropriate posts focusing on politics.
- A survey also found that only a few percent of internet users admit to occasionally crossing lines with their own posts through vulgar language, insults, or later regretting and deleting posts.
- While the scale of online discourtesy is small, the internet still has the worst public image compared to other media. However, perceptions of anonymity have decreased significantly over five years as most now see the web as a public space.

Thinking in networks: what it means for policy makers – PDF 2014Alberto Cottica
Network thinking is increasingly being adopted by policy makers, even at senior level. We explore what is driving this change, and what its long-term consequences might be in a society where "smart swarms" are becoming important, and public policy is being enacted by agents other than the state. Keynote given to Personal Democracy Forum Italy in Rome, September2014.

The social networks occupy a major place in the new technologies of information and communication. Beyond their weight ceaselessly increasing in the society, they became strategic supports as well for the individuals as for the organizations. With the social networks, a real revolution upsets in a radical way the ecosystem of the media and of the communication in our societies. Internet and the social media have individualized and democratized the access to real time diffusable contents in the global scale. Today, the consumers of information are also producers of information and can enter in competition with the traditional editors and broadcasting stations, the brands, the public authorities.

The research explored the role of social media as initial platform for relationship formation; and communicating partner’s motivation to migrate the online relationship to an offline modality. These questions were addressed by interviewing ten participants with experience in online to offline dating; a qualitative analysis of the data; and a construction of the results within the theoretical framework of Walther’s Social Information Processing Theory (SIPT) and the extended hyperpersonal model.

These slides provide the basic talking points for a series of talks I did in Paris, Rome and Berlin from the 11th through the 13th of July 2017. The talk was based on the Quello Center project on 'The Part Played by Search in Shaping Public Opinion', which was supported by a grant from Google.
The Turing test asked whether one could recognize the behavior of a human from that of a computer algorithm. Today this question has suddenly become very relevant in the context of social media, where text constraints limit the expressive power of humans, and real incentives abound to develop human-mimicking software agents called social bots. These elusive entities wildly populate social media ecosystems, often going unnoticed among the population of real people. Bots can be benign or harmful, aiming at persuading, smearing, or deceiving. Here we discuss the characteristics of modern, sophisticated social bots, and how their presence can endanger online ecosystems and our society. We then discuss current efforts aimed at detection of social bots in Twitter. Characteristics related to content, network, sentiment, and temporal patterns of activity are imitated by bots but at the same time can help discriminate synthetic behaviors from human ones, yielding signatures of engineered social tampering.
Americans have drastically expanded their active communities online and offline. Their world is expanding and narrowing at the same time because of social media’s hyperlocalization quotient. And “cyberdisinhibition”—being more willing to behave online in ways they wouldn’t in person—has both emboldened users and led them to inappropriate behavior. These are among the findings from a nationwide study on social media conducted by Euro RSCG Worldwide. Despite buzz to the contrary, online social networking is having the effect of enhancing, not deteriorating, relationships among Americans. This new study, of 1,228 American social media users, found that by interacting through online media, consumers are more connected than ever.

Fake news detection for Arabic headlines-articles news data using deep learningIJECEIAES
Fake news has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. The evolution of social websites has spurred the expansion of fake news causing it to a mixture with truthful information. English fake news detection had the largest share of studies, unlike Arabic fake news detection, which is still very limited. Fake news phenomenon has changed people and social perspectives through revolts in several Arab countries. False news results in the distortion of reality ignite chaos and stir public judgments. This paper provides an Arabic fake news detection approach using different deep learning models including long short-term memory and convolutional neural network based on article-headline pairs to differentiate if a news headline is in fact related or unrelated to the parallel news article. In this paper, a dataset created about the war in Syria and related to the Middle East political issues is utilized. The whole data comprises 422 claims and 3,042 articles. The models yield promising results.

Discussion 1 By Karthik KondlaThe capability to connect indivi.docxcuddietheresa
Discussion 1: By Karthik Kondla:
The capability to connect individuals around the world through the spread of internet solutions has been described by the World Bank to be vital in promoting accessibility to information as well as lifting people from poverty (Langley, 2016). According to the data released on the use of internet, it is estimated that around 3.5 billion people were making use of the internet by 2016 (Clement, 2017). Based upon the world's population record, the above stats mean that about 45 percent of the worldwide population were accessing the internet in 2016. With slowly rise on the planet's population in the last 3 years paired with the penetration of internet usage, there is no question that the use of internet will additionally increase in the next decades. Nevertheless, the continued use internet likewise includes its share of negative problems such as increased cyberbullying, cyberterrorism, dependency, and also erosion of social morals amongst teens who spend a lot of their time on unlawful sites such as pornographic sites. Such unfavorable concerns associated with internet use necessitate the requirement for federal governments to control making use of internet in their nations.
If I was to have absolute power to control the internet as well as its material, one thing I will do to promote sanity as well as morality among internet users will certainly be to completely obstruct various websites with fierce as well as unethical material. I am particular that by obstructing these websites, it will be very impossible for users to access such unlawful websites, a technique which is usually applied by Chinese government (King, Frying Pan, & Roberts, 2017). The other method that I will certainly make use of to control the internet as well as its web content is to develop a law which forbids minor people from accessing internet sites which are viewed to be past their age restriction. Finally, I will also call for all designers of these websites to filter and also check the materials of the information they post so that it does not interfere with the welfare of other groups. By carrying out these choices, I believe I will take care of to make the internet the most effective platform of accessing information and also entirely prevent individuals from accessing unwanted, unethical, or fierce information which can trigger violence, spread hate and also stereotype, or even decrease the principles amongst people.

Social Networking Channels
Thomas Lamonte Esters
Independence University
29 September 2018
SOCIAL NETWORKING CHANNELS 1
I dislike social networking sites because of the dangerous hazards connected to it.
The ProCon article vividly describes the numerous benefits that are attached to the social networking sites such as connecting people, enhancing advertising and marketing, promoting research and education, assisting to spread information faster as compared to other media, connecting employers and employees and assisting the government to identify and prosecute criminals. These are just a few examples that the article illustrates to support the necessity of the social networking sites in the society today. According to the article, the social networking channels have significantly transformed different sectors such as businesses for the better since they can sell their products and services globally (Procon.org, 2018).
However, the detrimental effects connected with the social networking channels are also numerous and most of them may lead to permanent damage to our lives. It is very clear that the education is the backbone of our lives and also the key to success. Currently, about 69% of the American population use social media channels which is a drastic increase in the usage from 2008 where about 26% of the Americans were connected to the social media (Procon.org, 2018). Most of the social networking sites users are the youths who are in their lower grade level, colleges or even universities. The research shows that using social media when handling assignments decreases the quality of work and makes the students drop in their performance. Education is a core value to a successful life and allowing social media to intrude in the academics will be detrimental since it will lead to the production of incompetent individuals who may end up causing problems in the society (Rowell, 2015).
Moreover, the social media channels expose individuals’ to privacy problems and intrusion by any interested parties. In fact, nothing which is shared in the social media channels is private. According to the survey conducted, 81% of the people surveyed believed that social media is insecure. The government through the NSA (National Security Agencies) intrudes to people’s data and communication in social media meaning that their private information ends up in the hands of the government. Many people do not know about social media privacy settings and this means that they leave their social media accounts prone to invasion (Procon.org, 2018). Viruses such as Steck. Evl can also be propagated via the social media to cause harm to the users. Most of these viruses are spies and send users priv.

Contrary to the common belief that there is no culture of speech on the
internet, once again, the research of IAB Polska proves that this is not
the case. Crossing the borders of culture on the net is still a marginal
occurrence. Unfortunately, because of universal accessibility, the
internet has the worst image among all means of communication in this
context. Since the phenomenon of insulting on the net remains
inconsequential, it is obvious that the best form of prevention is constant
education of internet users. It is worth noting that indeed, thanks to the
appropriate education, the perception of online anonymity has changed.
The percentage of web surfers convinced that the internet allows
anonymity has decreased by half over the last five years, reaching 26%.
Since the definite majority of internet users already acknowledge that
the web is a public space, they certainly care more about the culture of
their own expressions online. Our newest report gives hope that in the
future, we will no longer discuss the internet culture of insult, but rather
the culture of speech.
Włodzimierz Schmidt
CEO
IAB Polska
Already for the third time, we invite you to read the report concerning the
borders of culture on the internet. Facing various phenomena,
discussions and publications, it must be emphasized that we did not
focus on so called ‘hate speech’, which is understood as an attack on
a particular social group, and close to terms such as social stigma,
resentment or xenophobia. Likewise, we also did not focus on so called
‘hate’, meaning offensive online content, usually affecting particular
individuals. The starting point for the IAB Polska project was a general
approach towards the culture of speech, its scope and the ways of
crossing its boundaries, as well as the image of various means of
communication. Once again, the results of the study lead to various
after-thoughts. Did the internet bring upon the origin of new phenomena
or rather – as the first medium given over to the hands humanity – show
the real human condition in the context of culture? The question arises
whether to hide what the internet shows, leading to censorship and
restrictions against freedom of speech, or to educate? To punish, whom
and what for? In the newest IAB Polska report, concerning “Internet
culture of insult”, we encourage you to exactly such reflections.

The analysis of internet posts shows that the percentage of statements crossing the borders
of appropriateness is still marginal. It is worth noting that definite majority of such posts refers
to politics. This area is one of the key topics which heat up the discussion on the internet.
The scale of discourtesy is confirmed in a survey conducted among internet users – only a few
percent declare that they occasionally cross the borders of appropriateness, use vulgarisms
or offend others. A similar percentage admits that they often regret what they wrote and delete
such posts (3%).
During last 5 years, a decrease in the percentage of Web users declaring that online content
crosses the borders of appropriateness was observed. At the same time, the number of
internet users who think that impoliteness often appears in traditional media has increased
significantly.
Despite the aforementioned marginal scale of online discourtesy – both in posts and
declarations – the internet has the worst image among all forms of communication. At the
same time, however, freedom of speech online is linked not only to a lack of manners – internet
users more frequently make jokes online.
The perception of online anonymity has definitely changed. In 2011, 54% of Web surfers
declared that the internet permits anonymity of speech, while in 2016 the percentage
decreased to 26%. This observation coincides with the changes in perception of privacy
observed and described in another report of IAB Polska, (vide: Privacy in network 2016/2017)
showing that the Web is perceived as a public space and internet users are becoming
increasingly aware and experienced in terms of privacy protection.

Percentage of posts crossing the borders of appropriateness still marginal
The analysis conducted in 2011 showed that – depending on the type of online service researched –
from 0,5% to 0,9% of posts were inappropriate. In the next measurement, the percentage stayed on
similar level. However, in 2016 some significant changes were observed. Although the overall lowest
percentage of inappropriate posts was observed on blogs (remaining under 1%), and in case of social
networking services it slightly rose to 2% in November 2016, the distinct increase was noted in case
of posts on forums and in article comments(from around 1% in 2011 to almost 5% in the last wave).
Notably, the definite majority of inappropriate posts refers to politics. This area – discussed in-depth
in the 2011 report – is one of the key topics heating up online discussions. The above-mentioned results
find grounds in the currently observed strong polarization of social debate, related to political–
worldview topics, visible in all media. The results are also confirmed in findings related to media image,
presented in the further part of the report.

Post analysis and self-evaluation still consistent
Despite the changes observed in post analysis, the percentage of inappropriate online comments is
still minute. The diagnosed scale is confirmed in respondents’ declarations, reflecting their own self-
evaluation of the level of appropriate manners – only a few percent declare (“definitely yes” or “rather
yes”), that in their posts they happen to cross the borders of appropriateness, use vulgarisms or offend
others. Similarly as in the post analysis, the amount of such declarations has increased only slightly in
comparison to 2011. The scale is also consistent with percentage of those who admit that they tend to
regret what they wrote and delete such posts (3%).

An analysis of the survey results shows that the internet image – similarly to the wave conducted in
2011 – remains in contradiction with both post analysis and self-evaluation of Web surfers’ behavior.
Although the percentage of posts and declarations considered as inappropriate comments is marginal,
the internet still has the worst image among all researched forms of communication.

of Web users declaring that online content crosses the borders of appropriateness was observed, and
more respondents think that impoliteness often appears in the traditional media – TV, press and radio.

The results – also mentioned in terms of post analysis – show a general deterioration of public debate
quality in media, while discussion in daily talks remains on a similar level.
Anonymity of speech on the Web to a limited extent
When analyzing detailed dimensions of public image concerning discussion on the internet, it is
necessary to note that the perception of online anonymity has definitely changed. The percentage of
those declaring that the internet permits anonymity of speech has distinctly decreased over the last
5 years from 54% to 26%. The data further confirms the results of the other IAB Polska report, (Privacy
in network 2016/2017, March 2017) showing that the Web is perceived as a public space and internet
users are increasingly aware and more experienced in terms of privacy protection.

As it was pointed out above, post analysis is coherent with the declarations concerning crossing the
boundaries of appropriateness and show the marginal scale of the phenomenon. Nevertheless, the
internet has the worst image among all researched types of communication. This results from many
factors, not only connected with subjectivism of perception or nature of the medium itself.
Content distribution
According to the idea of the internet 2.0, this medium is co-created by its users. Their posts are not
edited by specialists before publication, as is done in the case of other media publications and
professional publishers online, who try to respect the law as well as ethics and etiquette. Only in the
case of some environments (e.g. professional portals) is there so-called moderation, automatic or
partly automatic, that selects content before it appears in the Web. Moreover, in case of many mass
environments (e.g. social networking services) verification of content is executed sporadically and
post-factum, e.g. when reported by internet users. However, even in such cases, reported posts are
not always deleted, due to the service providers’ concern for freedom of speech, and censorship
happens rarely, e.g. only in case of unequivocal law violation charges. Thus, crossing the borders of
appropriateness on the internet is more visible – freedom of speech often precedes good manners,
although both are based on the same democratic grounds.
Anonymity also plays a substantial role in the discussed phenomenon, allowing relative impunity when
commenting on the internet. It is particularly visible in the increase of inappropriate posts appearing in
spaces, where identity can be hidden (e.g. forums, article comments). In the more personalized spaces
(e.g. profiles in social networking services or blogs), where internet users take the floor by name,
offensive expressions appear much less often.
Access to content
A detailed posts analysis conducted in 2011 showed that the subject matter of a post extremely
influences appropriateness. At the same time, inappropriate posts are often related to the most
popular, read and commented topics (e.g. politics or worldview). As a result, such posts are the most
visible, while in fact a lot of discussions or comments found online, related to very narrow
areas (e.g. fishing, gardening, mountain tourism, photography etc.) extremely rarely cross the
boundaries of appropriateness.
The internet is a non-linear medium, contrary to e.g. TV or radio. In these traditional media programs,
if highly diverse and even if disputable, controversial, extreme, shocking or even inappropriate
information appears, it is surrounded by a whole range of various information. On the internet, such
content is not lost in a stream of information, and some of this information never disappears. Moreover,
the internet is a copy of the most important information appearing in all other media and the more
disputable this information is, the more often it is copied and – as a consequence – commented on.
These mechanisms stimulate discussion and influence speech culture.

The recent results of the IAB research on speech culture show that the internet is still perceived
as the medium where the rules of cultural behavior are broken most often. However, it is noteworthy
that in comparison to 2011 the prevalence of this opinion among participants has diminished. There
was also a high increase in negative opinions on the culture of speech in TV, advertisement, press
and radio, which significantly decreased the distance between them and the internet. A particularly
severe loss was observed for the radio, which was considered the most cultural medium. These
results may indicate that the general perception of culture in the public debate in Poland is bad.
In comparison to 2011 participants significantly more often declared that they use humor in their
posts. However, they also more often use foul language, and slightly more often cross the borders
of appropriateness or offend others. This is consistent with the analyses of internet posts which
showed a significant increase in rude comments on public forums and, albeit smaller, in social media.
However, at the same time a smaller number of participants than in 2011 declared that they have
personally experienced verbal aggression or observed such aggression towards groups similar
to them. Therefore, it seems that foul language is currently less often directed towards specific
people or specific groups of people. This may be a result of nationwide educational programs
against hate speech on the internet that were maintained over the last few years.
In comparison to 2011, users significantly less often believe that internet provides anonymity.
This is probably related, among others, to the introduction of the 2013 changes to the law which
oblige websites to inform users about their privacy policy. The subject of privacy on the internet
was the subject of yet another research project by IAB Poland.

Media - not just the internet, but also traditional media - go far beyond good manners in social
perception, as the research shows. It is caused by the democratization of the internet in Poland
and transferring the public debate to the web, often very strongly antagonized by opposite
ideological options. It can be seen in the results - most of the content going beyond good manners
refers to political issues. Moreover, other studies show that all extremes are quite good for
the internet, and moderate views do not have a special interest.
Perhaps there is great social acquiescence to go beyond good manners online. Respondents believe
this is the way it should be. There is a large acceptance for it among internet users,
judging by the results of the study. We let the internet be like that. Furthermore, we do not regret
if we go too far in online discussions.
Judging by how internet users assess their manners, it is possible that they do not have a clear
sense that they could go far beyond them. Perhaps because the sense of anonymity and lack
of sense of simultaneous contact with a live person on the other side of the screen cause more
aggression. If the person we are discussing so sharply in the network stood in front of us
and looked us straight in the eyes, many words would stick in our throats.

According to the analysis of Pew Research Institute, based on the results of 165 various studies, we
definitely prefer to listen to bad news rather than good news. It is an uncontrolled behavior which has
stuck ever since the times of living in the caves. The knowledge that the threat was near decided
whether we would survive. Therefore, bad news attracts our attention without our awareness of this
fact and immediately until this day.
Insulting people, hate, vulgarisms, and unfavorable opinions draw our attention on a similar basis.
It is powerful to such an extent that in order to neutralize a single negative opinion about the brand
it takes as many as five positive ones. It shows how harmful and costly black PR is for a brand. One
critic costs a company as much as gaining five followers!
It can be seen that we slowly start to learn that it is not always fine and worthwhile to express insults
on the internet. It even happens to be unfashionable. Hate can also be hated on. A public complaint
against the brand on Social Media is often preceded by an attempt at solving the problem via classic
channels, such as customer service. Only when no result is achieved, it comes to public hate on the
brand. The example of Poland-wide lynching on the hater Filip Chajzer provided significant food for
thought. None of us is anonymous on the internet. The research concerning
the Privacy online, conducted by IAB Polska, shows how aware we are of this phenomenon.
In my assessment, it is the internet that will set the maximum level of hate and vulgarity
in the media which we are able to accept. Over the last five years one see how dramatically
the standards of speech have dropped on television and on the radio. Discussions between
politicians are a particular plebiscite for the most elaborate hate. Perhaps it results from the
conclusion that language used on the internet is a way to gain the electorate. It results from
the fact that the society accepts it and allows it. Even if we do not entirely like it, on
a sub-conscious level we are the most interested in the conflict, the sense of threat.
Hence, the internet determines the maximal acceptable level of hate and the minimal level
of culture of speech.

The research project “Internet culture of insult?” consists of two analyses – a survey conducted among
internet users and an analysis of posts existing on the Polish internet.
Survey
The first of the analyses is based on the questionnaire dedicated to internet users. The last
wave of the study was conducted between 15th
–30th
of November 2016 via Computer
Assisted Web Interviewing within the “Borders of freedom online”, covering topics related to
privacy and culture of speech on the internet. A sample size was collected by invitations
displayed (ROS) on the webpages of Onet-RASP and Wirtualna Polska, allowing us to reach
70% coverage among Polish internet users. Researched individuals are aged 15 years old or
more, according to regulations concerning the minimum age limit in such surveys. The data
was collected by Webankieta through a programmed questionnaire. The margin of error, with
a sample size of 1121 collected interviews, is 2,43% on the 95% confidence level. The sample
was weighted with analytical weight based on gender, age and frequency of internet usage.
Substantial support was provided by Polskie Badania Internetu (PBI), and scientific support
by University of Social Sciences and Humanities, and Instytut Przetwarzania Informacji– National
Information Processing Institute.
The first wave of the study, used for historical comparisons, was conducted between 18th
of
August – 20th
of September 2011. The sample size consisted of 2093 interviews. Methodology,
recruitment and analysis of the sample are the same as in the study conducted in 2016.
Posts analysis
The second study was the analysis of posts, based on the sample of internet users quotes
coming from three sources: social networking services, blogs, forums and comments on
articles found in various portals. They were coded by 4 independent judges, to conduct
a detailed analysis of the content of posts and to measure their percentage, including phrases
crossing the borders of appropriateness. Compliance between judges was also assessed (on
the basis of 100 coded posts it resulted in above 92%), as well as between judges notes and
perception of internet users (on the basis of 10 selected posts the level of compliance was
90%). For coding, a proprietary standardized book of codes was used. It was created for the
needs of the project by researchers and experts from scientific circles (e.g. social
psychologists, media experts, linguists, sociologists, culture experts) as well as from the
internet branch.
Posts from the Polish resources of the internet selected for coding were automatically
generated with the use of a tool provided by NewsPoint. However, it must be emphasized that
not the full content was available. Thus, the results are only an approximation of content
generated by Polish users of the internet, especially taking into account the answer to the
question ‘What is the scale of crossing the borders of culture in the Polish internet?” A very
important limitation of data used in such analyses is a lack of access to some posts in social
media which are not public.
The basis for the choice from the whole range of services monitored by NewsPoint were words
and key expressions. The list, chosen by the above-mentioned experts, was created to catch
five thematic areas: politics (e.g. elections, Poland in EU), science/technology (e.g. internet,
flight into space, Microsoft), pop-culture (e.g. Harry Potter, gossip), social trauma (e.g. Warsaw
uprising, death of Pope, military state) and worldview (e.g. abortion, in vitro, homosexuality).
Samples of posts selected in particular waves of the study consisted of:
13. 13
o 2011: starting sample ~190 k posts, 3800 coded,
o 2013: starting sample ~250 k post, 448 coded,
o 2016: starting sample ~290 k posts, 1326 coded.
The whole process, preparation of codes book, list of analyzed key phrases, details of sampling
and coding of posts, as well as other details concerning methodology are presented in the
detailed report from the first wave of the study conducted in 2011.
