Hi Becky and all, In my forthcoming edited volume, I had two authors use tweets from individuals within their papers. One author, from the U.S., initially had the Twitter handles included and was using the tweets as examples of reaction to a technology, while the other author, from the EU, had the Twitter handles excluded and had slightly changed some aspects of the tweets for privacy in their analysis of the tweets as part of their research. And so, I had two authors using the tweets for different purposes from different countries. I ended up deciding that Twitter handles should be excluded for the following reasons: 1. Consistency 2. Information relevance: The handles were not necessary information to understand the tweet in the context it was being used. 3. The content: These were reactions to technology, not tweets in which someone was announcing a cure for cancer for which they would want credit. They also are, by now, a few years old, so some people may not even remember their tweet. In other words, there seemed little harm to people's "authorship." 4. Privacy: Yes, I know that people can find original authors from tweets with handles removed, but, as a general rule, I default to providing people with a level of privacy. Good luck! ______ Andrea L.

In the two previous workshops on Health Recommender Systems (HRS), we elaborated a great variety of fields in which recommender systems can improve our awareness, understanding and behavior regarding our own, and the general public's health. At the same time, these application areas bring new challenges into the recommender community. Recommendations that influence the health status of a patient need to be liable, today, they often involve a human in the loop to make sure the recommendations are sound. To make the recommender liable, complex domain-specific user models need to be created, which creates privacy issues. While trust in a recommendation needs to be explicitly earned by e.g. transparency, explanations and empowerment, other systems might want to persuade users into beneficial actions that would not be willingly chosen otherwise. The variety of those challenges also results from the number and diversity of stakeholders involved in health systems. Taking the patient's perspective, simple interaction and safety against harmful recommendations might be the prioritized concern. For clinicians and experts, on the other hand, what matters is precise and accurate content. Finally, health care providers, insurance providers, and clinics are interested in other aspects, e.g. success rates, study results, and financial benefits of the new systems. This workshop goes deeper into the discussions started at the two prior workshops and works towards the further development of the research topics in Health Recommender Systems. Our aim is to enhance the results of the last two workshops in the following areas: ** Elaborate discussion topics of the previous workshops on health promotion, health care as well as methods ** Strengthen the community of researchers working on Health in RecSys ** Attract representatives from e.g. health, psychology, medicine, nutrition, fitness ** Find cross-domain collaboration projects and funding targets ** Exchange and share infrastructure (datasets and tools) We invite submissions that may include the following topics but are not limited to: ** Algorithms and Recommendation Strategies ** Domain Knowledge Representation ** Regulations and Standards ** Medical Evaluation Techniques ** User Profiling ** Pervasive Systems ** Personalization ** Behavioral Interventions ** Persuasion/Nudging/Behavioral Change ** Gamification and Serious Games ** Adherence ** Empowerment ** Trust ** Explanations ** Patient Needs/ Satisfaction ** User Interaction Design ** Human/ Expert-in-the-Loop ** Privacy The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss research and projects that reach beyond classic recommender techniques and discuss health domain related challenges of recommender systems. Submissions: ============ We solicit research papers (up to 6 pages) and short position papers (2 pages), both in the ACM conference paper style. Participants can decide between a research focused submission, resulting in a workshop presentation, and a project focused submission, resulting in a workshop poster.

Digital assistants, smart devices, drones and other autonomous and artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly changing work, culture, cities and even the intimate spaces of the home. They are 21st century media forms: recording, representing and acting, often in real-time. This project investigates the impact of living with autonomous and intelligent media technologies. It explores the changing situation of media and communication studies in this expanded field. How do these media technologies refigure relations between people and the world? What policy challenges do they present? How do they include and exclude marginalized peoples? How are they transforming media and communications themselves? (Supervisory team: Michael Richardson, Andrew Murphie, Heather Ford) Data Justice: Technology, policy and community impact https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/scientia-phd-scholarships/data-justice-te... With growing concerns that data mining, ubiquitous surveillance and automated decision making can unfairly disadvantage already marginalised groups, this research aims to identify policy areas where injustices are caused by data- or algorithm-driven decisions, examine the assumptions underlying these technologies, document the lived experiences of those who are affected, and explore innovative ways to prevent such injustices. Innovative qualitative and digital methods will be used to identify connections across community, policy and technology perspectives on ?big data?. The project is expected to deepen social engagement with disadvantaged communities, and strengthen global impact in promoting social justice in a datafied world.

For clarification, I used all publicly available tweets. I went back and forth on it myself a few times (and still every once in a while wake up in the middle of the night thinking, "did I do the right thing?!"), but ended up agreeing with them. Their argument, per Twitter's ToS, was that people's tweets should be treated as you would an in-text citation (e.g., "Hayes said"), as they are their thoughts and ideas, expressed in a public forum, and thus they have earned the right to be credited for them (almost on a par with copyright). Because I used public tweets anyone could and can still find the tweets even if I hadn't listed the screen name, which renders the argument that we need to protect their identity somewhat moot. In my book, I discuss some pretty awful statements though, and I did make sure to not choose tweets as examples that could really get people into trouble with their employer, for instance, and would instead use more innocuous tweets to illustrate my point. This kind of research, because I use public tweets, falls outside of our IRB's scope, as they consider it public information on a par with analyzing media content and thus non-human-subjects research. I don't know if this helps at all - I think it's a tough issue to deal with, and both decisions, like you said, have their pros and cons.

We are back and forth on whether we should include the screennames and at others or disclude them. The arguments we have seen thus far, are to include them because it was made public and we are citing someones words. The other argument is to disclude them as the person did not consent to have it printed in that way persay, and the screenname attached in our book could be used to find and harass the person. What are your thoughts?

Thank you, Becky _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org

The emphasis of my work is on unfolding experiences and interactions with the designs; my interest is especially the "politics" embedded in said designs, including semiotic elements but also the overall "user experience" but not in the way a UX researcher would approach. Something like what Bogost (2007) described as procedural rhetoric, ?the art of persuasion through rule-based representations and interactions, rather than the spoken word, writing, images, or moving pictures? and ?the art of using processes persuasively? or how James Gee's (2014) unified discourse analysis seeks to analyze software itself (well, his focus is games) as a "communication form". I draw on ethnography, discourse analysis, multimodality, and video analysis (and workplace studies more generally)...but these all are generally coming from a linguistic-biased perspective, or (in the case of video analysis) are not flexible enough to work with different kinds of data. I often cite Bogost and Gee, but both of their work is focused on games, which are particular and distinct from, say, a workforce development website - the latter is "persuasive" and seek to "shape" the user in particular ways, just not rule-based ones in the same way games do. Anyway, since many of you come from other fields, I'm curious about any relevant methodologies that might function flexibly to analyse software and websites from a kind of procedural, critical UX perspective. Hope this question makes sense!

We hope to welcome you in Salerno! ========== *GIG-ARTS 2019 ? The Third European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies* *16-17 May 2019, SalernoEurope as a Global Player in Internet Governance* *Organised by:*The Internet & Communication Policy Centre / Department of Political, Social and Communication Sciences / Universit? degli Studi di Salerno *Co-Sponsored By:*The ECPR Standing Group on Internet and Politics, The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet), the IAMCR Communication Policy and Technology Section, The ICA Communication Law and Policy Division *Call for Abstracts - Deadline: 29 October 2018* Although to varying degrees of autonomy, awareness, and effectiveness over time and issues, European institutions have been engaged in internet governance and policy-making since at least two decades. Both the European Union and Europe as a region have generally played a crucial role in shaping the governance of the internet, at the global, regional and national levels.

From a geopolitical perspective, the EU has been one of the early actors advocating for the internationalisation of the DNS system and, more generally, for the enhancement of the multi-stakeholder governance model. From a normative point of view, EU institutions as well as Member States have deeply affected highly sensitive internet-related issues, such as privacy and data protection, digital market competition, consumers' rights, copyright, e-commerce, content regulation, the right to be forgotten, etc. On the institutional level, some of the most interesting cases of recent constituent policies have emerged from the European Union, leading to the establishment of new agencies such as the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). Beyond the EU, some European intergovernmental organisations, such as the Council of Europe (CoE), have developed structured initiatives to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law on internet governance issues. Further, a number of European initiatives, such as the European Dialogue on internet Governance (EuroDIG) and the Global internet Policy Observatory (GIPO), have facilitated the transfer of ideas, knowledge, policies and institutional arrangements towards other countries and geographic areas. Finally, European NGOs as well as some European internet companies are currently advancing alternative visions and values about the internet and its governance, enriching the set of internet governance approaches as well as available design options.

The third edition of the European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS 2019), will be held exactly twenty years after the entry into force of the Amsterdam Treaty and ten years after the Lisbon Treaty, which are milestones in the history of the European integration process, preparing the EU for enlargement and further deepening of competences, and reinforcing the centrality of democratic principles and the protection of fundamental rights as the Union's foundation. After having addressed ?Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue? at its first edition held in Paris in 2017, and "Inequalities in Internet Governance" at the second edition held in Cardiff in 2018, the 2019 GIG-ARTS conference will explore the role of Europe in the global governance of the internet. In particular, the conference will focus on challenges and opportunities, as well as strengths and weaknesses, of European approaches to internet governance and policy-making. In addition to general internet Governance issues and topics, submissions are particularly welcome on the following themes: - European institutions and Member States in internet governance; - The European approach to the multistakeholder governance model; - The role of the European External Action Service in the Global Internet Governance ecosystem; - Internet governance in the European Neighbourhood Policy; - The EU cybersecurity policy; - Extraterritorial effects of European internet policies; - Internet-related geopolitical challenges for Europe; - The EU and internet-related policy transfer; - EU internet policies in a comparative perspective; - Human rights, democracy and the rule of law in European internet policy and instruments; - Privacy and data protection after the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); - Global online platforms and EU general policies (labour, taxation, transport,..); - EU strategies and policies on new technologies (AI, robots, blockchains,..); - European good governance values and internet governance; - The Digital Single Market and international trade; - The EU and the management of critical internet resources; - Populist movements and the European internet policy-making; - EU values, European internet companies, and internet design. *Submission Information and Publication Opportunities*Authors are invited to submit their extended abstracts (no longer than 500 words), describing their research question(s), theoretical framework, approach and methodology, expected findings or empirical outcome.
