The major purpose of this dissertation was to measure quality of preselected public discussions (in form of comments) generated on popular online social network Facebook. We used Discourse Quality Index as the main instrument to collect and analyze our empirical data. In particular, we measured how the quality of our discussions corresponded to the preconditions of Habermasian ideal discourse perception. In our analysis, we highlighted the role of Web 2.0 based online communications environments to support, promote or, possibly, neglect traditions and principles of deliberative democracy. Our results revealed that quality of the discussions we analyzed is not good enough; consequently, they cannot be considered by policymakers and have positive impact on decisions made. The main reasons of that are: a) audience polarization; b) dissensual political discourse; c) low participants' scientific and political literacy; d) not serious or light role that participants undertake in the discourse.

Lithuanian Republic policy of social assistance to families is influenced by many factors: general economical – political situation in the country, country traditions, general attitude toward the family, the model of state welfare, and many others. This Master Paper examines the infrastructure of social services available for families under the social risk; it also presents possibilities for development of social assistance for families' network. In this Master Paper there was made a survey on the situation of families under the social risk, taking into account recent changes and tendencies. The activity process of organizations that provide social assistance was properly studied and their place and position in the system of country and municipality institutions was defined. There were identified the social assistance services that are available for the families under the social risk, evaluated the possibility of expansion and growth of social services. In the research process there were reviewed the law statutes regulating the services provided for the families under the social risk. There was made reference to the working experience and practice of many municipalities, an to the recommendations given in the non-fiction literature, and the most problematic points in the infrastructure of social assistance were distinguished; the recommendations how to improve social assistance for the families under the risk were introduced. The analyses showed that the legal basis, defining the mechanism of the social assistance services, is still not fully formed. Assistance to families under the social risk is till rather slow in Elektrenai Municipality. The present possibilities of social care workers are still too low to provide the full packet of services for these families. It is recommended to expand the social assistance network – establish family assistance and crises centres. The system of control for social assistance has to be improved in order to assure an effective mechanism of social assistance.

The Responsibility of Social Networks for Information Published by Their Users Nowadays, social networks with millions and even billions of users, not only guarantee an opportunity for people to communicate regardless of geographical and social constraints but also allow unlimited sharing of content created by themselves and others. At the same time social network platforms are significantly different from other internet intermediaries. Essential differences are caused by the ability of social network users to store and deliver large amounts of data in real time that can be stored and used in different formats. Therefore fundamental human rights and freedoms can be violated a lot faster and with greater damage. Information shared on popular social network platforms can get a lot more attention and public atraction than the information in press or other websites. Due to these substantial differences online intermediaries cannot be subject to the same legal regulation and should be given additional and exclusive attention compared to traditional intermediaries. In this context, the topic of social network liability for user-uploaded content is relevant for several reasons. Firstly, news about human rights and public interest violations committed on social media platforms are appearing more and more frequently. Secondly, national law is no longer capable of fighting online content with the increasing growth of social networks around the world. Thirdly, case-law of European Court of Human Rights, Court of Justice of the European Union and Lithuanian courts are still in development on this issue. Therefore, this paper analyzes the extent to which social networks are liable for user-generated information (i.e., web content) and the problems encountered in trying to regulate matters of intermediary liability.
