TOS & data scraping ethics
by Casey Lynn Fiesler 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Hello everyone! I’m always a bit reluctant to ping lists about my own work, but over the past few years I’ve seen several conversations come across this list about the ethics of TOS violations and I’ve alluded to this research before. I assume many of you have heard about the result of the ACLU lawsuit (feat. Christian Sandvig) that dropped last week; if not: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/federal-court-rules-big-data-discrimina… Though completely coincidentally, just before that I was finalizing a paper that is published (but sadly not presented, because COVID) at ICWSM this year about the law and ethics of data collection against TOS. This was a collaboration with Brian Keegan here at CU also, and former student Nate Beard who is now working on his PhD at University of Maryland. The TL;DR is that it’s based on both an analysis of the current legal/ethical landscape and on the actual data scraping provisions from 100+ social media sites. We end with discussion of why we think TOS is inappropriate for ethical decisions in either direction. Of course, this doesn’t actually provide you with an answer for “is it ethical to scrape data” but my hope is that it provides some additional context for making that decisions. Here’s a choose your own adventure for checking this out if you’re interested: the (long-ish) paper: https://cmci.colorado.edu/~cafi5706/ICWSM2020_datascraping.pdf the (much shorter) blog post: https://medium.com/@cfiesler/spiders-and-crawlers-and-scrapers-oh-my-law-an… the (very short) twitter thread: https://twitter.com/cfiesler/status/1246111542736596994 Cheers!

New Book: Letters, Power Lines, and Other Dangerous Things: The Politics of Infrastructure Secuirty
by Ellis, Ryan 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Hello AOIR folks, It is an odd time to be doing book promo, but I am nonetheless happy to announce that my new book, Letters, Power Lines, and Other Dangerous Things: The Politics of Infrastructure Security, is now available both for purchase and open access via MIT Press! Summary and links are below. Summary/Jacket Text: After September 11, 2001, infrastructures—the mundane systems that undergird much of modern life—were suddenly considered “soft targets” that required immediate security enhancements. Infrastructure protection became the core of the new Department of Homeland Security’s mission. In this book, Ryan Ellis examines how post-9/11 security concerns have remade and reordered infrastructure. It was, he argues, a stunning transformation. Decades of market-based deregulation had created systems that were both vulnerable to systemic failure and politically unaccountable. Ellis describes the way workers, civic groups, city councils, bureaucrats and others were able to use the threat of terrorism as a political resource, taking the opportunity not only to address security vulnerabilities but also to reassert a degree of public control over infrastructure. Ellis maps these changes to infrastructural governance and politics through an examination of three U.S. infrastructure: the postal system, the freight rail network, and the electric power grid. He describes, among other things, how debates about protecting the mail from anthrax and other biological hazards spiraled into larger arguments over worker rights, the power of large-volume mailers, and the fortunes of old media in a new media world; how environmental activists, building on post-9/11 controls over rail shipments of toxic materials, formed a powerful coalition to take on the rail industry and the chemical lobby; and how otherwise marginal federal regulators parlayed new mandatory cybersecurity standards for the electric power industry into a robust system of accountability. It is now available for purchase via: Amazon: bit.ly/dangerous-things<https://t.co/sxfDjE5dRC?amp=1> Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/books/letters-power-lines-and-other-dangerous-things-t… MIT Press: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/letters-power-lines-and-other-dangerous-thin… Please note: MIT Press has also generously made it available via Open Access (at the MIT Press link above).

CFP: Ethical Pluralism and Intercultural Information Ethics in Asian Contexts
by Charles M. Ess 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

Dear AoIR-ists, with the usual regrets for duplication and cross-posting - please distribute to potentially interested colleagues and/or relevant lists. Many thanks! - charles Call for Papers Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia (JCEA), Vol 20, No 1 - Summer 2021 Special Issue: Ethical Pluralism and Intercultural Information Ethics in Asian Contexts Invited editor: Charles M. Ess, University of Oslo (c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no) The early 1990s and the Internet’s rise as an engine of globalization forced a central task upon emerging Intercultural Information Ethics (IIE): how to conceptualize and implement a global information and computing ethics conjoining (quasi-) universal ethical norms and principles with a robust defense of local, culturally variable identities and practices? Discourses pitting a homogenous imposition of Western values and norms against resistance to such homogenization for defending local cultural identities, but at the cost of potential fragmentation and isolation, first forced these issues. Increasing recognition of “computer-mediated colonization” – as Western-centric cultural norms and communicative preferences, embedded in ICT design, were imposed upon “target” cultures – made these concerns still more urgent. In response, ethical pluralisms (EPs), as conceptualizing connections (such as shared norms) preserving irreducible local differences, were developed and successfully implemented in both Western and non-Western contexts. But Western-based EPs remain open to critique. In Asia, EP is integral to conceptions of resonance and harmony in Daoist, Confucian, Buddhist, and Islamic traditions. Furthermore, Chinese and Indian technological innovation hubs have also emerged, grounding further exploration of Asian-rooted conceptions of EP, resonance, and harmony, which remain central to an IIE opposing colonizing adaptation of Western values and norms in Non-western cultures. These are especially critical vis-à-vis the ongoing encroachment of advanced ICTs, e.g. AI, Big Data, the IoT, “surveillance capitalism” and the Chinese Social Credit System, as increasingly defining our cultural lives. Our primary questions: what sorts of EP and similar notions of resonance or harmony might help resolve these central problems in the contemporary developments of (East) Asia? And: do earlier IIE traditions and evaluation of “radical” technologies fruitfully respond to even “more radical” emerging ICT challenges evoked by contemporary, far more powerful ICTs? This special issue of the JCEA invites papers that deal with theoretical and practical dimensions of EP, notions of harmony and resonance in contemporary Asian contexts, and/or traditional/recent resonances of ICT-related challenges. We are particularly interested in but not limited to: · Critical evaluations and possible expansions of contemporary EP, especially as oriented towards / grounded in (East) Asian contexts · Concrete examples of EP in praxis – whether successful or not in sustaining shared norms and irreducible local differences in (East) Asian contexts · Theoretical and practical explorations of (East) Asian relatives of Western-centric pluralisms from Confucian, Buddhist, and other local traditions – e.g., of resonance, harmony, etc. – that might offer advantages over EP on both theoretical and practical grounds. Please submit your 500-word abstract (maximum) in English to c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no by September 1, 2020 (subject line should include “JCEA Special Issue”). Deadlines Abstract Submission: September 1, 2020 Abstract Notification: October 1, 2020 Article Submission: December 31, 2020 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: March 15, 2021 Final submission of revised papers: June 1, 2021 For more information about the JCEA, refer to https://jceasia.org/ -- Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Fellow, Siebold-Collegiums Institute for Advanced Studies, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany Co-chair & Editor, Internet Research Ethics 3.0 <https://aoir.org/reports/ethics3.pdf> 3rd edition of Digital Media Ethics now out! <http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509533428> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no

ACM UMAP 2020 - 3rd Call for Demos and Late Breaking Results
by Oghenemaro Anuyah 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

============================ Call for Demos and Late Breaking Results (LBR) - ACM UMAP 2020 28th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Theme: "Responsible Personalization" Genoa (Italy) July 14-17, 2020 Website: https://www.um.org/umap2020/ ============================ - Submission of demos and LBR papers: April 6, 2020 - Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2020 - Camera-ready versions of accepted papers: May 7, 2020 ============================ BACKGROUND AND SCOPE: ============================ ACM UMAP – User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users, to groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP 2020 invites Demonstrations and Late-Breaking Results (LBR) papers of innovative UMAP-based systems (including research prototypes). Demonstrations Demonstrations will showcase research prototypes and commercially available products in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demonstrations are an excellent and exciting way to showcase implementations and to get valuable feedback from the community. Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how. To better identify the value of demos, we also encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast (max. 5 minutes on Vimeo or YouTube) or to any external material related to the demo (e.g., shared code on GitHub). Descriptions of demonstrations should have a length of max. 2 pages in the ACM SIG proceedings template. On an extra page (not to be published), submissions should include a specification of the technical requirements for demonstrating the system at UMAP 2020. Late-Breaking Results Late-Breaking Results (LBR) are research-in-progress that must contain original and unpublished accounts of innovative research ideas, preliminary results, industry showcases, and system prototypes, addressing both the theory and practice of User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization. In addition, papers introducing recently started research projects or summarizing project results are welcome as well. We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit a late-breaking work as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Late-Breaking Results papers have a length of 4 to 6 pages in the ACM SIG proceedings template and will be presented to the conference as posters. SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS ============================ Papers will be reviewed single-blind and do not need to be anonymized before submission. Submissions (demos and late-breaking results) must adhere to the ACM SIG Standard (SIGCONF) proceedings template. A template can be found at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template . Submit your papers in PDF format via EasyChair for ACM UMAP 2020 Demos and Late-Breaking Results at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2020 SUBMIT A PAPER <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2020> The review process will be single blinded, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the papers. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. They will be assessed based on their originality and novelty, potential contribution to the research field, potential impact in particular use cases, and the usefulness of presented experiences, as well as their overall readability. Papers that exceed the page limits (2 pages for demos and 6 pages for LBR) or do not adhere to the formatting guidelines will be returned without review. PUBLICATION AND PRESENTATION ============================ Accepted Demo and Late Breaking Results papers will be published in the ACM UMAP 2020 Adjunct Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. All categories will be presented at the poster reception of the conference, in the form of a poster and/or a software demonstration following poster format. This form of presentation will provide presenters with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work from a wide audience during the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there. LATE-BREAKING RESULTS AND DEMO CHAIRS ============================ - Li Chen, Department of Computer Science Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong - Bart Knijnenburg, Clemson University, South Carolina USA - Frosina Koceva, University of Genova, Genova, Italy ============================ *UMAP Statement on Coronavirus* ============================ UMAP 2020 will proceed as planned July 14-17, but we will continue to monitor the evolving situation related to the coronavirus disease outbreak and potential impact on global travel. We are following the guidelines provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO), local public health authorities, individual governments and the Italian Government. Decisions will be based on that. We wish to reassure that should a physical conference be unsafe or should people have travel limitations from Governments, the remote presentations/recordings will be possible. Proceedings of the Main Conference and Adjunct Proceedings will be available as planned in the ACM Digital Library. Any changes to operating status will be communicated immediately on the website and social media as well as to all authors of accepted papers and to registered meeting attendees. Stay tuned. ============================ Regards, Oghenemaro Anuyah Graduate Research Assistant Dept. of Computer Science, Boise State University ACM UMAP Conference 2020 - *Co-publicity Chair* oghenemaroanuyah(a)u.boisestate.edu
