Die Themen der internetbasierten Kriminalität im Kontext von Social Media sowie das Thema Datenschutz sind derzeit nicht nur rechtspolitisch höchst brisant, sondern haben darüber hinaus eine erhebliche praktische Relevanz. Die Autorin nimmt zum einen die dogmatischen Aspekte einer strafrechtlichen Einordnung des Social Media Stalkings und Mobbings in den Blick. Zum anderen widmet sie sich den datenschutzrechtlichen Anforderungen bei der Erstellung von Nutzerprofilen und unterzieht die aktuelle Rechtslage einer kritischen Betrachtung. Im Ergebnis fehlt es im Datenschutzrecht, im Gegensatz zum nationalen Strafrecht, bisher an praktikablen und durchsetzbaren Regelungen, um die kollidierenden Interessen der Internetnutzer mit denen der Social Media Anbieter in Einklang zu bringen.

Analysis of social media usage of students and instructors for teaching, learning, and research purposes across four countries (Russia, Turkey, Germany, and Switzerland) showed that many higher education instructors actively use social media for private purposes. However, although they understand that their students also use it for learning purposes, and instructors sense the potential of social media in teaching, they mostly refrain from doing so due to various barriers. In response, an openly accessible trilingual Social Media Toolkit was developed which analyzes the teaching scenario with several questions, before suggesting, based on an algorithm, the best matching class of social media, complete with advice on how to use it for teaching purposes. This paper explains the rationale behind the toolkit, its development process, and examines instructors' perceptions towards it. ; European Union FP7 Era.Net RUS [135]; TUBITAK (Turkish Government Scientific Research Organization) [112K362] ; This work was supported by the European Union FP7 Era.Net RUS under Grant #135; TUBITAK (Turkish Government Scientific Research Organization) under Grant 112K362.

In the new millennium social media have emerged as the most popular media of communication. There are several factors which have contributed to this rapid growth and development of social media. Prominent among them include technological factors (increased broadband availability, the improvement of software tools and the development of more powerful computers and mobile devices), social factors (rapid uptake of social media by younger age groups), economic factors (increasing affordability of computers and software and growing commercial interest the social media sites) and political factors (increasing political mobilization and several political changes across the world). The world has witnessed a shift in the focus of Web applications towards social interaction, collaboration and networking. This development has also influenced education. The present article amplifies the history of social media on the basis of qualitative research method.

Social media have been credited with the potential of reinvigorating trust by offering new opportunities for social and political participation. This view has been recently challenged by the rising phenomenon of online incivility, which has made the environment of social networking sites hostile to many users. We conduct a novel experiment in a Facebook setting to study how the effect of social media on trust varies depending on the civility or incivility of online interaction. We find that participants exposed to civil Facebook interaction are significantly more trusting. In contrast, when the use of Facebook is accompanied by the experience of online incivility, no significant changes occur in users' behavior. These results are robust to alternative configurations of the treatments.

Abstrak. Penggunaan media sosial semakin meningkat dari tahun ke tahun, namun demikian tidak semua konten media sosial memiliki sisi positif. Beberapa dampak negatif penggunaan media sosial seperti penyebaran berita bohong (hoax), ujaran kebencian (hate speech), perundungan (cyberbullying) dan konten negatiflainnya merupakan bentuk-bentuk penyalahgunaan media sosial menjadi keprihatinan masyarakat karena telah memasuki ranah sosial, politik, ekonomi dan bahkan keagamaan. Hal ini tidak terlepas dari kapitalisasi koorporasi media sosial yang terus berkembang dengan terpaan yang semakin meluas melintasi batas negara dan bangsa, masuk dalam kehidupan berbagai generasi, strata sosial ekonomi, tingkat pendidikan dan latar belakang pendidikan serta pengalaman. Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah teoritis kualitatif yang didasarkan pada pengamatan terhadap isi media sosial dan kajian teoritis yang berusaha menjelaskan pengaruh isi media terhadap perilaku masyarakat dalam bermedia sebagai bahan pengayaan (enrichment) bagi kegiatan literasi media sosial di kalangan masyarakat bagi para pegiat literasi. Penjelasan teoritis yang dipakai meliputi aspek positif dan negatif dilihat dari aspek sosial, politik, psikologi, pendidikan dan kebudayaan. Hasilnya konten budaya lokal memiliki peluang mengisi konten dalam ruang media sosial dan konten budaya lokal yang selektif, kreatif, edukatif, dan sekaligus menghibur dapat digunakan untuk meminimalkan dampak negatif globalisasi dan kapitalisme media sosial. Manfaat lain dari sosialisasi dari promosi budaya lokal di media sosial adalah untuk meningkatkan integrasi masyarakat karena didalamnya terdapat nilai-nilai kearifan lokal yang memiliki nilai bersifat nasional bahkan universal.Abstract. Social media uses have been increasing from year to year. However, not all social media content has a positive side. Some negative effects of social media from hoaxes, hate speech, cyberbullying to other negative content are the forms of abuse of social media. It is concern to the public because these have entered the social, political, economic and religious spheres. It is definitely inseparable from the capitalization of a social media corporation. It has been developing with increasingly widespread exposure across national borders, and it has been entering into the lives of various generations, socio-economic strata, education levels and educational backgrounds and experiences as well. The research method used in this research was a qualitative theoretical approach based on observations of social media content and theoretical studies. It aims at seeking to explain the influence of media content on people's behavior in their media use as the enrichment material for social media literacy activities in society for literacy activists. The theoretical explanations used in this research include positive and negative aspects. In this matter the social, political, psychological, educational and cultural perspectives will see the aspects. Moreover, the research results show that local cultural content has the opportunity to fill content in the social media space. Selective, creative, educative, and entertaining local cultural content can be used to minimize the negative effects of globalization and social media capitalism. Another benefit of socialization of local culture promotion on social media is to increase social integration because in the local culture there are local wisdom values and national or universal values as well.

Advocates of new media—especially social networks, blogs, and photo/content sharing sites—argue that these tools create transformative impacts on society. Recently, around the world younger activists in popular democracy movements, uprisings, and protests, feeling disengaged by traditional forms of political discourse, have debated their positions on new media, and have used digital media to communicate, organize, and coordinate protest activities. While some media scholars suggest this is an indication that young people are active in creating a public sphere constructed by social media, there is still little real-world evidence that the technological potentials are widely realized. To address this gap, this comparative case study aims to reveal how some "ordinary" young people are using social media in response to political issues, investigating: if social media create a new kind of dynamic arena for their public activism; which factors may stimulate the young to activism; and whether their motivation is powerful enough to resist the status quo. Describing and analyzing qualitative interview data from a study of Turkish students and a parallel collection of data from US students, we construct an explanation of their communicated understandings of their differences and similarities in opportunities for political actions. Our findings indicate: there are many similar technical capacities; some similar topics are seen as political; and there are different understandings of what is and is not for public discussion among their personal collections of contacts and friends, with varying levels of real-world connections. This analysis is important in terms of understanding the ways uses of media technologies may be affected by different cultures, political and social conceptualizations and online communication patterns.

Social media technologies (such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram) have brought about radical changes in how the media systems of liberal democracies operate. The platform providers have become powerful actors in the operation of the media system, and in how it connects to political processes. At the same time, these companies claim political neutrality, because most of their content is created by their millions of users – perhaps creating far greater citizen vigilance over government and politicians. Ros Taylor and the Democratic Audit team examine how far the UK's social media system operates to support or damage democratic politics. Does it help to ensure a full and effective representation of citizens' political views and interests?

In recent years, protests took the streets of cities around the world. Among the mobilizing factors were the perceptions of injustice, democratization demands, and, in the case of liberal democracies, waves of discontentment characterized by a mix of demands for better public services and changes in the discredited democratic institutions. This paper discusses social media usage in mobilization for demonstrations around the world, and how such use configures a paradigmatic example of how communication occurs in network societies. In order to frame the discussion, social media appropriation for the purposes of political participation is examined through a survey applied online in 17 countries. The ways in which social media domestication by a myriad of social actors occurred and institutional responses to demonstrations developed, it is argued that, in the network society, networked people, and no longer the media, are the message. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Social media is becoming extremely prevalent in people's day-to-day lives. On these networking sites, people obtain information regarding social news, world news, national news, and more. It appears that politics and government activity are becoming more of an active topic on social media. Scholars are increasingly concerned about the negative effect that social media can have on political knowledge and the creation of divisions in governments. This study investigated whether social media, such as Twitter, impacted political engagement, therefore, having the possible impact on one's political beliefs. The study found that social media use impacts a user's political engagement.

The confluence of social media with political action is a complex field raising important questions. Is social media a realm for democratic deliberation? Can we ascertain public opinion from social media outlets? How are people using social media for political participation? Can social media boost democracy in authoritarian regimes? Here, the author considers these questions and contemplates the future of social media and politics.

The current era is characterized by the vibrant and rapidly evolving communication technologies. Communication in any form has evolved and now includes media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to report a few. Communicating and consuming information has shifted from the more traditional ways to new ones as part of this communication evolution. Cancer is an area of healthcare where such social media have been championed either to promote public awareness and drive campaigns or influence political decision-making. Although health-care lags behind many other industries in adopting social media as a part of a business or policy strategy, the increasing engagement of patients, the public, and the policymakers in social media raised the need for integrating these tools as a part of an overall program to support the strategic imperatives of the health care. As these and other new ways to communicate are introduced to the world and injected into our cultural and political systems, the question that raises here is: "How successful are social media in influencing health policy?"

Sentiment analysis has become a key technology to gain insight from social networks. The field has reached a level of maturity that paves the way for its exploitation in many different fields such as marketing, health, banking or politics. The latest technological advancements, such as deep learning techniques, have solved some of the traditional challenges in the area caused by the scarcity of lexical resources. In this Special Issue, different approaches that advance this discipline are presented. The contributed articles belong to two broad groups: technological contributions and applications.

Social media has exploded in importance and power over a very short period of time, faster than people and policy can keep up. As a result, social media has been a battleground of business and political interests that have changed and adapted so quickly that policy makers are unable to maintain the pace. This veritable wild west of communication has led to a variety of issues with no clear solutions, and even as ideas are put forward these are quickly made irrelevant by the next innovation or strategy that inevitably pops up. These issues range from social media companies generating ideological bubbles in their pursuit of building a superior product, fringe political forces adapting and making use of the internet in their struggles to both be heard and to stop their ideological rivals from being heard, to the government trying to adapt law and policy to new Constitutional issues that are arising. This paper will examine these issues and consider their complexities, while suggesting and identifying flexible solutions that recognize the ever-changing nature of the question at hand.
