It is of great practical significance to figure out the propagation mechanism and outbreak condition of rumor spreading on online social networks. In our paper, we propose a multi-state reinforcement diffusion model for rumor spreading, in which the reinforcement mechanism is introduced to depict individual willingness towards rumor spreading. Multiple intermediate states are introduced to characterize the process that an individual's diffusion willingness is enhanced step by step. We study the rumor spreading process with the proposed reinforcement diffusion mechanism on two typical networks. The outbreak thresholds of rumor spreading on both two networks are obtained. Numerical simulations and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to illustrate the spreading process and verify the correctness of theoretical results. We believe that our work will shed some light on understanding how human sociality affects the rumor spreading on online social networks.

Rumor spreading is a good sample of spreading in which human beings are the main players in the spreading process. Therefore, in order to have a more realistic model of rumor spreading on online social networks, the influence of psycho-sociological factors particularly those which affect users’ reactions toward rumor/anti-rumor should be considered. To this aim, we present a new model that considers the influence of dissenting opinions on those users who have already believed in rumor/anti-rumor but have not spread the rumor/anti-rumor yet. We hypothesize that influence is a motive for the believers to spread their beliefs in rumor/anti-rumor. We derive the stochastic equations of the new model and evaluate it by using two real datasets of rumor spreading on Twitter. The evaluation results support the new hypothesis and show that the novel model which is relied on the new hypothesis is able to better represent rumor spreading.

Earlier research using qualitative techniques suggests that the default conception of online social networks is as public spaces with little or no expectation of control over content or distribution of profile information. Some research, however, suggests that users within these spaces have different perspectives on information control and distribution. This study uses Q methodology to investigate subjective perspectives with respect to privacy of, and control over, Facebook profiles. The results suggests three different types of social media users: those who view profiles as spaces for controlled social display, exerting control over content or audience; those who treat their profiles as spaces for open social display, exercising little control over either content or audience; and those who view profiles as places to post personal information to a controlled audience. We argue that these different perspectives lead to different privacy needs and expectations.


:In recent time, online social networks like, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms, provide functionality that allows a chunk of information migrates from one user to another over a network. Almost all the actual networks exhibit the concept of community structure. Indeed overlapping communities are very common in a complex network such as online social networks since nodes could belong to multiple communities at once. The huge size of the real-world network, diversity in users profiles and, the uncertainty in their behaviors have made modeling the information diffusion in such networks to become more and more complex and tend to be less accurate. This work pays much attention on how we can accurately predicting information diffusion cascades over social networks taking into account the role played by the overlapping nodes in the diffusion process due to its belonging to more than one community. According to that, the information diffusion is modeled in communities in which these nodes have high membership for reasons that may relate to the applications such as market optimization and rumor spreading. Our experiment made on a real social data, Digg news aggregator network on 15% of overlapped nodes, using our proposed model SFA-ICBDM described in previous work. The experimental results show that the cascade model of the overlapped nodes whether represents seed or node within cascade achieves best prediction accuracy in the community which the node belongs at more
