al How social networks are recruiting teenage extremists By www.rss-specifications.com Published On :: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 12:07:59 -0400 In March, in the aftermath of the Christchurch shooting, I tried to distinguish between internet problems and platform problems. Internet problems arise from the existence of a free and open network that connects most of the world; platform problems arise from features native to the platform. The fact that anti-vaccination zealots can meet online is an internet problem; the fact that Facebook recommended that new mothers join anti-vaccination groups is a platform problem. The recent rise in white supremacist violence around the world has given us fresh reason to ask which aspects of the problem belong to the entire internet, and which belong to our biggest social networks.

al How Social Media Users Have—and Have Not—Responded to Privacy Concerns By www.rss-specifications.com Published On :: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 12:25:06 -0400 The Facebook Cambridge Analytica revelations changed the way people in the US think about online privacy. And it should come as no surprise that many have grown wary over the mishandling of personal information. Nearly a year later, a majority of US internet users said that Facebook sharing data with Cambridge Analytica raised some level of concern over how their information is used online, per survey findings from text message marketing company SlickText. complete article Full Article
al Social Media Died When It Stopped Being Social And Became Just About Making Money By www.rss-specifications.com Published On :: Sun, 21 Jul 2019 12:28:55 -0400 The way young people use social networks is changing rapidly, partly in response to networks that threaten to take over their lives, that they see as fake, the opposite of social. A while back, it looked like they were abandoning Facebook because it had been taken over by the old folks, but it now turns out they’re just leaving anyway, and not just Facebook, but the whole social media concept. complete article Full Article
