Dear Colleagues, Please join us at the *Cyber Social Threats* workshop (CySoc 2020) on Monday, *June 8, 8:30 AM ET* @ICWSM2020 We have* two Keynotes* by Alexandra Olteanu <https://www.aolteanu.com/> from Microsoft Research <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/theme/fate/> and Mikey Cohen <https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikey-cohen-4612a0/> from Network Contagion Institute <https://ncri.io/>. We have *eight interesting papers* accepted for presentation and ICWSM 2020 workshop proceedings. We will have two paper sessions and the first session will be dedicated to *Covid 19* papers. Lastly, we will have a *synthesis/brainstorming* session, that would result in paper concepts for impactful future research, for 20-minute discussion. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in computer and social sciences from both academia and industry to exchange ideas on understanding the multi-faceted social, psychological, cultural, emotional, communicative, and linguistic aspects of harmful content while leading the discussion on building novel computational methods to reliably detect, derive meaning, interpret, understand and counter them. *For more information: http://CySoc.aiisc.ai <http://CySoc.aiisc.ai>* *Co-organizers:Ugur Kursuncu, AI Institute, University of South Carolina, SC, USA.
