Looking for literature on spam in online communities
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!

I'm guessing this one has already turned up in your search...but just in case: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/spam //Ed
Hi there Our work on spam and digital redlining might be of interest. We were more interested in conceptual foundations and impact than in positivist approaches to spam identification. Gosh, it's been more than 10 years since... feeling old now ;) Mystery Meat revisited: Spam, Anti-Spam Measures and Digital Redlining https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/handle/2142/206 -Christopher On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 3:56 AM, Greenhalgh, Spencer Paul <greenha6@msu.edu> wrote:

HI Spencer, I have written an article about spam earlier, and some good references at the bottom, hope it would be useful for you. http://www.aprja.net/zombification-the-living-dead-in-spam/ /Winnie -- /* Winnie Soon - artist-researcher Assistant Professor @ PIT Research Centre, Aarhus University, Denmark <http://pit.au.dk> www.siusoon.net <http://www.siusoon.com> */ On 1 August 2018 at 19:56, Greenhalgh, Spencer Paul <greenha6@msu.edu> wrote:

Hi Spencer, I've been working on spam (in its broader sense) for the past few years. I've written about the legal and technical struggles behind spam in the EU context, and how it serves as a regulatory tool -> https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13600869.2017.1304616 I've also written about spammers in the music industry - <https://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology/2013/06/04/music-spammers-outlaws-or-artists/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#!> https://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology/2013/06/04/music-spammers-outlaws-or... There's also Jussi Parikka and Tony Sampson's edited book - The Spam book. You might also want to check the term 'flaming' which was used to describe inappropriate forms of communication in the early days of the internet. A good place to start is Esther Milne's fantastic book "Letters, Postcards, Email: Technologies of Presence", which I found really useful. Good luck with your project it sounds really interesting.
