Social media legal and privacy issues exercise
by Gohar F. Khan 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hi, I am looking for ideas on interactive in-class exercise on social media legal and privacy issues for my undergrad students. Ideally, they should work in small groups to carry out the exercise. Any topic that fits within the broader scope of regal and/or privacy issues related to social media use/data will work. Normally, I would ask them to review a social media platform's privacy policy and report back on how they use your data. But this time I intend to do something different. Any suggestions, please?

cross-border data access by law enforcement agencies
by Halefom Hailu 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

ARTICLE I am researching new legal and policy initiatives regarding cross-border data access by law enforcement agencies in Europe and beyond. I am aware of the U.S. CLOUD Act, the EU’s e-evidence proposal, and Council of Europe’s proposed additional protocol to the Budapest convention. I am looking for such initiatives at national, regional and international levels and can be proposed by any actor (government, private, civil society). I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestion.

Looking for literature on spam in online communities
by Greenhalgh, Spencer Paul 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hello all, I’m beginning a project about the research and practical implications of spam in hashtag-based Twitter communities focused on education. I’d appreciate any suggestions for any work on spam, especially conceptual work (e.g., definitions of spam, taxonomies of different kinds of spam, etc.), since that seems to be harder to find than work on spam detection (though I’m also interested in that work as well). Thank you!

WEBCAST THURS: NSF Millimeter-Wave RCN – 4th Workshop, July 2018
by Joly MacFie 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

The NYU Wireless <http://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/> mmW research center pioneered much of the essential tech of 5G. As the field grows the Research Coordination Network <http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/> is a multistakeholder project to connect NYU and its academic brethren with industry and government agencies, plus the wider community, mainly through a series of workshops of which this was the 4th. Last year the NSF also launched <https://isoc-ny.org/p2/9161> the PAWR effort to foster collaborative testbeds which led to the funding of the Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1827923> (COSMOS) which aims to deploy a city-scale advanced wireless platform *in NYC* by 2023 (more <http://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/nsf-announces-new-york-city-as-testbed-…> ). The testbed breakout session at this workshop provides an opportunity to learn more about this and similar projects. What should not be missed are the two keynotes John Cioffi (11am) and Ted Rappaport (2:30pm), however, be warned, both are highly technical. John Cioffi is a Interne <https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/john-cioffi>t Hall Of Fame inductee <https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/john-cioffi> known as “the father of DSL” and his talk might be called 'DSL's not Dead!' as he talks about achieving gigabit speeds over multiple twisted pairs. NYU Wireless founder Ted Rappaport starts by dispellings some myths, talks about the latest in 5G tech, and finishes up with a critique of FCC 5G policy. A nugget I have picked out as a taster for the stream is from the first panel. Ted is asked about what comes after 5G. http://isoc-ny.org/misc/ted_rappaport_on_6g.mp4 Thanks are due to the mmW RCN steering committee for permission to restream this event. The livestream link is https://livestream.com/internetsociety/nsfmmwrcn4/ [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/nsfmmwrcn4/>On *Thursday August 2018* the *Internet Society Livestream Channel <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/nsfmmwrcn4/>* will rebroadcast the *4th Workshop <http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/?page_id=1372>*of the *Research Coordination Network (RCN) on Millimeter-Wave Wireless <http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/>*, held at the *NYU Tandon School of Engineering <https://engineering.nyu.edu/>*, Brooklyn on July 12-13 2018. The RCN’s aim is to spur research and development of *mmW wireless <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_high_frequency>*, driven by innovations in three key areas: 1) *CSP*: communication and signal processing techniques; 2) *HW*: mmW hardware, circuits, antennas, and digital hardware; and 3) *NET*: wireless networking; along with mmW prototypes and testbeds. The RCN is *NSF funded <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1648917>*. Further workshops are planned for Fall 2018 (National Institute of Standards and Technology), and Spring 2019 (Univ of California – Berkeley) *Schedule (all times EDT = UTC-4)* *11:00 Welcome and Opening Remarks – Akbar Sayeed* *11:10 Keynote: Terabit DSL (using sub-mm waveguide modes in a copper pair) – Prof. John Cioffi* *11:48 Panel: State of mmW Technology and Industry Outlook* *13:09 Breakout: Development of Cost-Effective Community Testbeds for Research and Experimentation* *14:32 Keynote: CoMP and Hybrid Beamforming for 5G MMWAVE -Ted Rappaport* *15:17 Readout: Communication and Signal Processing & Networking* *15:31 Readout: Hardware, Circuits, Antennas, Communication/Signal Processing,* *15:46 Readout: Cost-Effective Community Testbeds Development* *16:10 Panel: Academic-Industry Collaboration for “Moonshot” mmW RCN Contributions* *17:03 Discussion: Goals and Deliverables for RCN 2020 and RCN 2025* *17:32 Close* *Info: http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/?page_id=1372 <http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/?page_id=1372>* *View on YouTube: http://bit.ly/mmwrcn4 <http://bit.ly/mmwrcn4>* *Twitter: #mmwrcn http://bit.ly/mmwrcn <http://bit.ly/mmwrcn>* *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10439 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -

Hi Khan We just released a short open online module called "What Does Facebook Know About You?" https://open.uts.edu.au/facebookknowyou.html It guides students through downloading their data, exploring privacy settings, and demonstrates some of the ways that data can be used.

We are pleased to announce that due to popular interest there will now be a Panel on the Ethics of Social Media Data. This will provide a timely opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities of using and collecting data from social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, particularly in the wake of Cambridge Analytica. A friendly reminder to submit your abstracts before this Monday 13 August [extended deadline]. Please see attached flyer for more details. The Symposium will be held at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra on 11 September 2018, and is generously funded through The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) in conjunction with Social Sciences Week 2018.

Research ethics and platform APIs
by Jean Burgess 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Dear colleagues, I’m keen to hear of your experiences with your own research ethics boards/committees, especially in the PCA (Post-Cambridge Analytica) era: 1. Have any of you noticed a recent increase in IRBs/ethics committees requiring proof of compliance with social media platforms or apps’ Terms of Service/Terms of Use as part of ethical clearance requirements? Please note I’m not only interested in so-called data-driven methods or API access here, but all kinds of ethnographic, qualitative social research, and critical-interpretative approaches as well. 2. If so, are questions of ToS compliance restricted to reasonable questions of harm to participants (for example, your methods may inadvertently induce a participant to share the content of another user, hence violating their own contract with the platform provider) 3. Where questions of ToS appear to exceed the bounds of human research ethics considerations (perhaps appearing more concerned with institutional risk avoidance), how have you responded? Not actually asking for a friend Jean
