Use Fake Social Media Profiles to Spy

Chicago Cops Can Use Fake Social Media Profiles to Spy On You, With the FBI’s Help

Police continue to use social media in questionable ways to monitor and track down protestors in photos and videos, according to a new report.

Manufactured social media profiles, not linked to any real person, are theoretically a violation of Facebook’s authenticity policy.

Taking a One-Week Break from Social Media Improves Well-Being, Depression, and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The intervention effect on well-being was partially mediated by a reduction in total weekly self-reported minutes on SM. The intervention effect on depression and anxiety was partially mediated by a reduction in total weekly self-reported minutes on Twitter and TikTok, and TikTok alone, respectively. The present study shows that asking people to stop using SM for 1 week leads to significant improvements in well-being, depression, and anxiety.

One of China’s biggest social networks is revealing user locations to head off ‘bad behaviour’

https://www.techradar.com/news/one-of-chinas-biggest-social-networks-is-revealing-user-locations-to-head-off-bad-behaviour

euters reports that Weibo will begin showing the rough locations of its users using IP addresses to combat “bad behaviour” online. The locations show up on both profiles and posts.

Chinese citizens have long resorted to using VPNs and other privacy tools to help either access non-Chinese services or speak freely online and you can see why.

In a similar view to the Panopticon, visibly showing users that the service knows where they are will lead to self-censorship, reducing the strain on Chinese censors to cover an internet with hundreds of millions of users.

social media teaching and learning

Teaching Crowds: Learning and Social Media by Jon Dron and Terry Anderson Published by Athabasca University, Canada, ISBN: 978-1-927356-81-4 (PDF), September 2014, Pages: 370

(book review)

https://www.dhakacourier.com.bd/news/Essays/Using-social-media-platforms-in-teaching-learning/1051

Dr. Jon Dron and Professor Terry Anderson of Athabasca University, Canada attempt to introduce a new model for understanding and exploiting the pedagogical potential of Web-based technologies. Recognizing the E-learning/ online education as new model of teaching and learning, the authors show how learners can engage with social media platforms to create an unbounded field of emergent connections.

In chapter 9 ‘Issues and Challenges in Educational Uses of Social Software’ , the writers accordingly examine the dark side of social software—the ways in which it can undermine or even jeopardize, rather than deepen and extend, the experience of learning. They present a series of over-arching issues that warrant consideration by anyone who plans to use social software for learning. These include issues surrounding privacy, disclosure, and trust, cross-cultural dissonances, problems posed by the complexities of technology and by the digital divide, unpredictable systemic effects, and risks such as mob stupidity and filter bubbles.

Social Media Now Has a Past — Can We Learn from Our Mistakes?

https://campustechnology.com/articles/2021/06/14/social-media-now-has-a-past-can-we-learn-from-our-mistakes.aspx

Blogging was supposed to be an extraordinary way for everyone to have a voice. Yet at least in my experience, students have little to no experience with blogs or any kind of “feed” that isn’t generated for them algorithmically.

social media managers

How companies are failing social media managers—and wasting crucial talent

Facebook and Twitter are still the most frequently managed company channels. “The top five social media channels managed include Facebook (81%), Twitter (77%), LinkedIn (67%), Instagram (66%), and YouTube (51%),” according to the report.

(Just 6% are managing TikTok channels despite the platform’s meteoric rise.)

The primary role of social media managers is to create content. Forty-one percent of respondents said their primary role as a social media manager was to create content, while 20% said their main goal was to improve brand awareness and reputation.

It’s a female-dominated field. Seventy-nine percent of the 379 respondents are women.

Engagement and replies are the top metric for evaluating performance, but many have no clear objectives. According to the report, 45% of social media managers are evaluated on their engagement and replies, followed by progress toward goals (36%) and follower counts (33%).

Thirty percent said their social media performance was not evaluated at all.
