Abstract

Depuis l'avènement de l'internet grand public dans les années 1990, le web a été perçu comme un outil au service de la liberté d'expression. Mais face à la montée de la désinformation et des discours de haine, une régulation nouvelle se met en place. Les Etats légifèrent pour encadrer les prises de parole en ligne. Les grandes entreprises du numérique se voient octroyer des pouvoirs de filtrage et de blocage.Le problème survient lorsque l'opacité de ces opérations transforme la modération en censure. Il est urgent d'inventer une régulation démocratique des contenus sur internet, afin que celui-ci demeure pour tous et toutes un espace de débat, d'engagement et de liberté. Romain Badouard est maître de conférences en sciences de l'information et de la communication à l'université Paris II Panthéon-Assas, chercheur au laboratoire CARISM de l'Institut français de presse.Il a notamment publié Le Désenchantement de l'internet (FYP, 2017).

Abstract

Getting numbers is easy; getting numbers you can trust is hard. This practical guide by experimentation leaders at Google, LinkedIn, and Microsoft will teach you how to accelerate innovation using trustworthy online controlled experiments, or A/B tests. Based on practical experiences at companies that each run more than 20,000 controlled experiments a year, the authors share examples, pitfalls, and advice for students and industry professionals getting started with experiments, plus deeper dives into advanced topics for practitioners who want to improve the way they make data-driven decisions. Learn how to * Use the scientific method to evaluate hypotheses using controlled experiments * Define key metrics and ideally an Overall Evaluation Criterion * Test for trustworthiness of the results and alert experimenters to violated assumptions * Build a scalable platform that lowers the marginal cost of experiments close to zero * Avoid pitfalls like carryover effects and Twyman's law * Understand how statistical issues play out in practice.

Abstract

Employés par des sous-traitants aux quatre coins du monde, les modératrices et modérateurs de contenu sont les travailleurs de l'ombre chargés de purger les sites Internet, les réseaux sociaux et les applications mobiles des photos, vidéos ou commentaires abjects qui les inondent : propos haineux, cyber-harcèlement, injures racistes ou sexistes, automutilations et tortures, viols et décapitations, pédophilie...À travers des dizaines d'entretiens menés avec ces collecteurs de déchets numériques dans les zones rurales de l'Iowa, dans la Silicon Valley, au Canada et aux Philippines, cette enquête met au jour l'économie souterraine d'une industrie dont les coulisses tranchent avec le progressisme revendiqué. À rebours de l'optimisme libertaire des pionniers du Web, le filtrage des torrents de violence, de pornographie et de fiel déversés sur nos écrans s'impose aujourd'hui comme une tâche à la fois indispensable et sisyphéenne. Ses enjeux en termes de réglementation de la liberté d'expression et de délimitation des frontières du dicible et du montrable à l'échelle planétaire restent néanmoins largement ignorés.Alors que les controverses autour des fake news, des discours de haine et du harcèlement en ligne obligent peu à peu les plateformes à rompre l'illusion d'une modération " automatique ", Sarah Roberts révèle les conditions de travail des substituts de l'" intelligence artificielle " et les risques psychologiques auxquels sont exposés celles et ceux dont le quotidien connecté consiste à visionner à la chaîne des contenus insoutenables pour que nous n'y soyons pas confrontés.

Abstract

This book addresses the socio-technical constitution of civic communication in increasingly digital democracies. Despite problematic phenomena like hate speech in online commenting, it argues that citizens’ potential for resisting technological inscriptions in digital media remains a fundamental democratic right. While producers inscribe anticipations for how people should be discussing political issues into commenting interfaces, citizens still resist these technological inscriptions in their commenting practices. This dialectic interrelation between interfaces and practices highlights the inadequacy of purely technological solutions for undemocratic tendencies in digital media. Contents Online commenting as civic communication Socio-technical dialectics of online commenting Interrelation of interfaces and practices Interfaces, practices and interactions in online commenting Target groups lecturers and students of media and communication studies, media sociology, science and technology studies and political science social media editors, journalists, political communicators, media and internet policy specialists The Author Anne Mollen is research assistant at the Department of Communication at the University of Münster and scientific coordinator at the Research Training Group "Trust and Communication in a Digitized World".

Abstract

This book provides an in-depth insight into what is currently known and relatively unknown about youths' online peer engagement. It delivers state-of-the-art current reviews of the literature in the field, with a strong coverage of methodological issues in studying online friendships and an emphasis on moving towards a new, less dichotomic, view of online peer interaction in adolescence. With a focus on what spending time with online-exclusive peers entails -in terms of both potential positive as well as negative consequences for friendship quality, intimacy, and well-being -this book offers a more nuanced commentary on youths' online peer engagement. Including coverage of the evolution of online friendships, cyberbullying, cyberdating, sexting, online abuse, smartphones, social networks, as well as their impact on adolescent social interaction online, Van Zalk and Monks consider implications for future research directions and practical applications. Online Peer Engagement in Adolescence is important reading for undergraduate and master students studying social and developmental psychology, education, relationships and health, as well as advanced researchers and academics working in these fields.

Abstract

Wikipedia’s first twenty years: how what began as an experiment in collaboration became the world’s most popular reference work. We have been looking things up in Wikipedia for twenty years. What began almost by accident—a wiki attached to an nascent online encyclopedia—has become the world’s most popular reference work. Regarded at first as the scholarly equivalent of a Big Mac, Wikipedia is now known for its reliable sourcing and as a bastion of (mostly) reasoned interaction. How has Wikipedia, built on a model of radical collaboration, remained true to its original mission of “free access to the sum of all human knowledge” when other tech phenomena have devolved into advertising platforms? In this book, scholars, activists, and volunteers reflect on Wikipedia’s first twenty years, revealing connections across disciplines and borders, languages and data, the professional and personal. The contributors consider Wikipedia’s history, the richness of the connections that underpin it, and its founding vision. Their essays look at, among other things, the shift from bewilderment to respect in press coverage of Wikipedia; Wikipedia as “the most important laboratory for social scientific and computing research in history”; and the acknowledgment that “free access” includes not just access to the material but freedom to contribute—that the summation of all human knowledge is biased by who documents it.

Abstract

‘’Empirically rich and theoretically innovative, this book advances our understanding of the constantly changing dynamic between international conflict and its mediation. With its compelling case studies, Shixin Zhang’s monograph makes a valuable contribution to the literature on Chinese social media in conflict situations.’’ - Daya K. Thussu, Professor of International Communication, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong This book explores the media and conflict relationship in the age of social media through the lens of China. Inspired by the concepts of medialization of conflict and actor-network theory, this book centers on four main actors in wars and conflicts: social media platform, mainstream news organizations, online users and social media content. These four human and non-human actors associate, interact and negotiate with each other in the social media network. The central argument is that social media is playing an enabling role in contemporary wars and conflicts. Both professional media outlets and web users employ the functionalities of social media platforms to set, counter-set or expand the online public agenda. Social media platform embodies a web of technological and human complexities with different actors, factors, interests, and power relations. These four actors and the macro social-political context are influential in the medialization of conflict in the social media era. Shixin Ivy Zhang (Ph.D. University of Leeds) is Associate Professor in Journalism Studies at University of Nottingham Ningbo China. She is the author of two research monographs entitled Impact of Globalization on the Local Press in China (2014) and Chinese War Correspondents: Covering Wars and Conflicts in the 21st Century (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016). .

Abstract

This agenda-setting volume brings together leading scholars of media and public life to grapple with how media research can make sense of the massive changes rocking politics and the media world. Each author identifies a 'most pressing' question for scholars working at the intersection of journalism, politics, advocacy, and technology. The authors then suggest different research approaches designed to highlight real-world stakes and offer a path toward responsive, productive action. Chapters explore our 'datafied' lives, journalism's deep responsibilities and daunting challenges, media's inclusions (and non-inclusions), the riddle of digital engagement, and the obligations scholars must attempt to meet in an era of networked information. The result is a rich forum that addresses how media transformations carry serious implications for public life. Original, provocative, and generative, this book is international in its orientation and makes a compelling case for public scholarship.

Abstract

The 2016 US election highlighted the potential for foreign governments to employ social media for strategic advantages, but the particular mechanisms through which social media affect international politics are underdeveloped. This Element shows that the populace often seeks to navigate complex issues of foreign policy through social media, which can amplify information and tilt the balance of support on these issues. In this context, the open media environment of a democracy is particularly susceptible to foreign influence whereas the comparatively closed media environment of a non-democracy provides efficient ways for these governments to promote regime survival.

Abstract

Strengthen your understanding of the persuasive mechanisms used by terrorist groups and how they are effective in order to defeat them. Weaponized Words applies existing theories of persuasion to domains unique to this digital era, such as social media, YouTube, websites, and message boards to name but a few. Terrorists deploy a range of communication methods and harness reliable communication theories to create strategic messages that persuade peaceful individuals to join their groups and engage in violence. While explaining how they accomplish this, the book lays out a blueprint for developing counter-messages perfectly designed to conquer such violent extremism and terrorism. Using this basis in persuasion theory, a socio-scientific approach is generated to fight terrorist propaganda and the damage it causes.
