Willingness To Disclose

The youth constitutes the largest user base of social media networks. While this generation has grown up in a digitally immersed environment, they are still not immune to the dangers the online space bears. Hence, maintaining their privacy is paramount. The present article presents a theoretical contribution, that is based on a review of relevant articles. It sets out to investigate the importance adolescents attribute to online privacy, which is likely to influence their willingness to disclose data. In line with a “new privacy paradox”, information disclosure is seen as unavoidable, given the centrality of social networks to adolescents’ lives. This goes hand in hand with individual privacy management. As individuals often lack knowledge as to how to protect their privacy, it is essential to educate the youth about their possibilities, equipping them with agency and self-responsibilization. This corresponds with a teen-centric approach to privacy as proposed by the TOSS framework.

BACKGROUND JUUL is an electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) resembling a USB device that has become rapidly popular among youth. Recent studies suggest that social media may be contributing to its popularity. JUUL company claims their products are targeted for adult current smokers but recent surveillance suggests youth may be exposed to JUUL products online. To date, there has been little attention on restricting youth exposure to age restricted products on social media. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to utilize a computational age prediction algorithm to determine the extent to which underage youth are being exposed to JUUL’s marketing practices on Twitter. METHODS We examined all of @JUULvapor’s Twitter followers in April 2018. For followers with a public account, we obtained their metadata and last 200 tweets using the Twitter application programming interface. We ran a series of classification models to predict whether the account following @JUULvapor was an underage youth or an adult. RESULTS Out of 9,077 individuals following @JUULvapor Twitter account, a three-age category model predicted that 44.9% are 13 to 17 years old (N=4,078), 43.6% are 18 to 24 years old (N=3,957), and 11.5% are 25 years old or older (N=1,042); and a two-age category model predicted that 80.6% (N=7,313) are under 21 years old. CONCLUSIONS Despite a disclaimer that followers must be of legal age to purchase tobacco products, the majority of JUUL followers on Twitter are under age. This suggests that ENDS brands and social media networks need to implement more stringent age-verification methods to protect youth from age-restricted content.

Agent Based Simulations

AbstractSocial media networks (SMN) such as Facebook and Twitter are infamous for facilitating the spread of potentially false rumors. Although it has been argued that SMN enable their users to identify and challenge false rumors through collective efforts to make sense of unverified information—a process typically referred to as self-correction—evidence suggests that users frequently fail to distinguish among rumors before they have been resolved. How users evaluate the veracity of a rumor can depend on the appraisals of others who participate in a conversation. Affordances such as the searchability of SMN, which enables users to learn about a rumor through dedicated search and query features rather than relying on interactions with their relational connections, might therefore affect the veracity judgments at which they arrive. This paper uses agent-based simulations to illustrate that searchability can hinder actors seeking to evaluate the trustworthiness of a rumor’s source and hence impede self-correction. The findings indicate that exchanges between related users can increase the likelihood that trustworthy agents transmit rumor messages, which can promote the propagation of useful information and corrective posts.
