This theoretical and technical work was done at the Institut de la Recherche et l’Innovation, the World Wide Web Consortium and the Unlike Us network in the period 2011-2014. As demonstrated by tracing Facebook’s lineage to a reading of the concept of mimesis from Girard by Thiel, already then the toxic influence of Facebook on the mental condition of young users was known. In contrast, Stiegler’s work quickly focused on alternative architectures and the development of new concepts: Another social network is possible.

Historical Reddit Data Collection
by Luc Cousineau 29 Dec '22

29 Dec '22

Good afternoon all, I'm making a call for help regarding collecting reddit data from a particular sub-reddit (/r/teachers). I'm looking to collect all of the posts (+comments, replies, etc.) starting August 1, 2022 to present for a project I am working on. The problem is that I don't code, so the many tutorials about how to do it with Python aren't helpful for me. I have been using a great tool called commualytic (developed by some Canadian scholars - also does Twitter, Telegram, and CrowdTangle [Facebook/Insta]) that generates lovely CSV files, but due to a recent change in the Reddit Pushshift API, only the last 31 days of subreddit data are available. If there is anyone out there that could help me with this, point me in the direction of another tool that I could use, or a capable student or colleague that might be able to help, I would be much obliged. Many thanks in advance, Luc Cousineau Luc S.

Twitter Journalist Suspensions
by Dr. Emma Briant 29 Dec '22

29 Dec '22

Dear Colleagues, I’m sure all will agree that the mass censorship of, I think now 11 journalists from major news organisations today by Elon Musk is incredibly disturbing. I am wondering how one deletes all one’s tweets? Anyone know? I’m considering doing this but leaving my account as a placeholder, so I am not leaving that data there, and removing myself at this point from the platform. I was hoping not to do this, given that I network in Twitter for my research on propaganda and develop contacts. But this obviously crosses such a line. People need to push back somehow not just move to mastodon , but I’m honestly not sure how. I’m trying to process the implications and wondered other’s thoughts on this latest development.

28 Dec '22

*** First Call for Submissions *** 10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023) October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/esocc2023/ AIM AND SCOPE Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of (micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies). These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this, researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the increasing growth of their computing capabilities. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing in Europe.

NDSS MADWeb Keynote - Problematic Content in Online Ads - Franzisca Roesner
by Joly MacFie 27 Dec '22

27 Dec '22

NDSS 2022 Measurements, Attacks, and Defenses for the Web (MADWeb) Workshop 2022 - Keynote 2 - Problematic Content in Online Ads https://youtu.be/HO1bU05Zukw Online advertisements are an unavoidable fact of the modern web: they are embedded in and financially support the majority of content websites. Significant prior work in the computer security and privacy community has previously studied the ecosystem of online advertising, particularly in terms of its privacy implications. What has not been substantively considered in the security community, however, is the visible, user-facing content of these advertisements. Our recent work reveals significant prevalence of a range of problematic content in these ads, including clickbait, misinformation, scams, and manipulative design patterns. In this talk, I will describe our work characterizing and measuring problematic content in the online ad ecosystem, including an investigation of ad content on misinformation sites and a study of political-themed ads on news and media websites around the time of the 2020 U.S. elections. SPEAKER Franzisca Roesner (University of Washington) Franziska (Franzi) Roesner is an Associate Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, where she co-directs the Security and Privacy Research Lab. Her research focuses broadly on computer security and privacy for end users of existing and emerging technologies. Her work has studied topics including online tracking and advertising, security and privacy for sensitive user groups, security and privacy in emerging augmented reality (AR) and IoT platforms, and online mis/disinformation. She is the recipient of a Consumer Reports Digital Lab Fellowship, an MIT Technology Review "Innovators Under 35" Award, an Emerging Leader Alumni Award from the University of Texas at Austin, a Google Security and Privacy Research Award, and an NSF CAREER Award. She serves on the USENIX Security and USENIX Enigma Steering Committees. Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium 2022, 24 – 28 April, 2022 Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa, San Diego, California, and online. ABOUT NDSS The Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) fosters information exchange among researchers and practitioners of network and distributed system security. The target audience includes those interested in practical aspects of network and distributed system security, with a focus on actual system design and implementation. A major goal is to encourage and enable the Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance the state of available security technologies. https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ #NDSS #NDSS22 #NDSS2022 #InternetSecurity #MADWeb -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
