Rob Gorwa talk on Platform Regulation and Content Moderation at Manchester Metropolitan
by Sophie Helen Bishop 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Date: 1st March Time: 16:00 Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/disc-public-talk-with-robert-gorwa-tickets-8… *Robert Gorwa <https://wzb.eu/en/persons/robert-gorwa-0> (WBZ Berlin Social Science Centre)* *The Politics of Platform Regulation: How Governments Shape Online Content Moderation* As digital platforms have become more integral to not just how we live, but also to how we do politics, the rules governing online expression, behaviour, and interaction created by large multinational technology firms --- popularly termed ‘content moderation,’ ‘platform governance,’ or ‘trust and safety’ --- have increasingly become the target of government regulatory efforts seeking to shape them. In this talk, Robert Gorwa provides a summary of his first book, forthcoming with Oxford University Press, which provides a conceptual and empirical analysis of this important and emerging tech policy terrain of ‘platform regulation.’ How, why, and where exactly is it happening? Why now? And how do we best understand the vast array of strategies being deployed across jurisdictions to tackle this issue?

Does AIR (dare to ) make a motion mourning death academics in war conflicts?
by Lucio Mello 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

Dear people (I still believe in the humanity of this group) of AIOR member and followers, I just read it: Professor Nasser Abu Al Nour, Dean of the Faculty of Nursing at the Islamic University of Gaza, was killed along with 7 members of his family in an attack on his home. Just nothing I am aware that both sides of this conflict had their losses. Are we ready to defend academic personnel beyond their nationality? Can we make a public statement in the memoirs of those who lose their lives in this horror? They can be Jewish, Palestinian, Arab, Semitic People, Catholic, Sumerian, Assyrian, Goyn, Ultra Right, Ultra Left, Marxist, Communist, Conservative, Ultra Orthodox.... You name it! But can we (dare to) make a statement mourning all innocent deaths in wars? Are we bold enough to raise our voices for peace and cease fire? Are we human enough to state that internet and internet researchers are concerned about how internet is being used for conflict and hate speech (from both sides)? Can we look beyond laboratories windows and propose that internet can be used for promoting peace and solidarity? Because if we don't we can close AIOR tomorrow! Let's stop pretending nothing is happening, please? PS: Thats my final statement. I am leaving. But hope you can discuss among yourselves. Good bye to you all those academic carreirst hypocrites and selfish well living people. (AIOR has a lot of good people but business are in the first place here, instead of scientific truth ) I wont condone it. Good luck in the next few years... you will need to explain your omission as internet researchers... Now I know how Heiddeger became Dean in those horrific times. Missing Susan Sontag and Hannah Arendt. Get ready to being denounced as conivents Maybe not now but by the History, for sure. In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends. Martin Luther King <https://www.pensador.com/autor/martin_luther_king/>

Dear colleauges, apologies for cross posting: Sandra Ponzanesi and I are delighted to announce the publication of the edited volume ‘Doing Digital Migration Studies: Theories and Practices of the Everyday’. Here you can find download links for individual chapters: https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.11895524 This is the direct link to download the full pdf of the book: https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87673 This book was 3 years in the making showcasing research first presented at the conference "Migrant Belongings: Digital Practices & the Everyday", held 21– 23 April 2021, assisted by Julia de Lange and Frederik Kohler. This conference took place online as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and was a duo act connecting the ECREA Diaspora, Migration; the Media Section and the ECREA International and Intercultural Communication Section with the successful closure of the ERC project CONNECTINGEUROPE: Digital Crossings in Europe: Gender, Diaspora and Belonging (2016–2021). The anthology is organized in five different sections: Creative Practices; Digital Diasporas and Placemaking; Affect and Belonging; Visuality and digital media and Datafication, Infrastructuring, and Securitization. These sections are dedicated to emerging key topics and debates in digital migration studies, and sections are each introduced by international experts. This is the full table of contents: Prelims Doing Digital Migration Studies: Introduction -Koen Leurs and Sandra Ponzanesi Section I Creative practices -Introduction to Section I: Creative Practices – Karina Horsti -Chapter 1.

This superb book takes the centre stage in showing how activists – migrants, scholars, and citizens – are negotiating this paradox by investigating everyday practices with meticulous detail and theoretical astuteness.” – Engin Isin, Queen Mary University of London “Doing Digital Migration Studies is an important and insightful contribution that sheds a much-needed light on the complex and ever-evolving relationship between migration and digital media.” ‒ Sara Marino, London College of Communication “Incisive and exhaustive, this collection carves out new paths of inquiry in media and migration studies while retelling the field’s rich and long histories. Scholars and practitioners working around the edges of critical data studies, the anthropology of aid, and the sociology of migration are particularly in for a special treat.” ‒ Jonathan Corpus Ong, University of Massachusetts at Amherst Dutch Research Council (NOW) open access funding made it possible for us to make the book accessible. Big thanks also to Kathi Amman and Isha Lahiri, who kept this publication enterprise on track.

Tutorials should be focused on principles, concepts, and methods. Commercial or sales-oriented presentations are not allowed and will not be accepted. Tutorials are intended to provide a pedagogic introduction to or overview of a topic of relevance. Potential presenters should keep in mind that there may be a heterogeneous audience, including novice graduate students, experienced practitioners, and specialized researchers. Tutorial speakers should be prepared to cope with this diversity in the audience. Tutorials will be 90 minutes long and organized in parallel with the technical sessions of the main conference and participants of the conference will have free access to all of them. Potential proposers are free to contact the tutorial chairs via e-mail to validate their idea prior to the submission. SELECTION CRITERIA The tutorial chairs will review each proposal and select a subset of them based on the following criteria: 1. relevance to the field of IS engineering; 2. anticipated appeal to the conference audience; 3. timeliness and importance for the conference audience; 4. past experience and qualifications of the instructor(s). The tutorial chairs will also consider the complementarity of the proposal w.r.t. the conference program and other tutorial proposals. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Tutorial proposals should be submitted to Easy Chair using the conference submission site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024) and then selecting the “CAiSE 2024 Tutorials” track.

For each subsection, you should sketch its contents in a few sentences or bullet points. • References: Provide references to papers, books, etc. that your tutorial builds on. Please specify previous venues at which similar tutorials have been presented by you and indicate the difference between the proposed tutorial and previous ones. CAiSE usually does not accept tutorials that have been presented in other venues. • Sample Slides: Include at least 5 sample slides of the presentation you plan to give if your tutorial is accepted. Select slides that are typical of your presentation style. These slides have to be submitted in a separate PDF file. Services provided to tutorialists • A 2-page tutorial abstract will be published in the CAiSE LNCS proceedings • Tutorials will benefit from the local organizational infrastructure (registration, badges, refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.). • Advertisement of the tutorial on CAISE 2024 homepage and mailings. • The conference fee will be waived for tutorial presenters (one fee per tutorial).
