Event Triggered

In early 2018, Cambridge Analytica, a UK based political consulting group, was in the middle of the spotlight regarding its activity collecting Facebook users’ personal data. The data was harvested without users’ consent and was used to influence voter opinion to support a presidency campaign. This event triggered numerous movement aimed to inform and motivate the public to be concern of the use of their data in social media. However, whether these actions have raised the awareness of social media users is yet to be investigated. The objective of this paper is to harvest the awareness of social media users in Indonesia. We’ve performed a survey and collected answers from 312 responders who actively use social media in everyday life. The result shows that most of the responders have a low awareness regarding the event and its impact to social media industry. Over 24% of our responders have heard of the event and only 7% of the responders were able to describe the event correctly. Moreover, most of these users did not aware how their profile information in social media may be used to achieve commercial or political purpose by social media industry or collaborating third party without their consent.

This article investigates how platformisation changes the practices of content production and distribution through the case of the web series, Druck (tr. Pressure (2018–), for the public service content network ‘funk’ (ARD and ZDF). An analysis of the German adaptation of the Norwegian television and web series Skam (tr. Shame) (NRK3, 2015–2017) shows how public service broadcasting (PSB) in Germany is changing due to the influence of social media. To reach a younger audience, PSB has to meet them on third-party platforms. Consequently, PSB must provide content that fits the mobile media environment of social media.

Social media content includes an unprecedented number of personal documents reflecting our time. Few countries or regions have established legal grounds for securing long-term access to these documents, while paper-based publications have been exhaustively accumulated under legal deposit systems. However, archiving social media through national libraries, as a sort of state intervention, could bring about chilling effects on free speech in unexpected ways. The article aims to present empirical data of public concerns concerning social media content, focusing on Twitter’s public tweets archived by third parties, through two questionnaire surveys involving university students (Research I) and the public (Research II). The surveys were designed based on three settings: researchers, organisations to which the respondents belong and the National Diet Library in Japan. Consequently, approximately 30% and 47% of the respondents in Research I ( n = 197) and II ( n = 728), respectively, disagreed with any hypothetical scenario. An ordered logistic analysis to reveal the inter-relations of variables suggests the existence of other factors; thus, neither variables related to Twitter/Internet use nor demographic variables influenced people’s perceptions of the archival issue. While protecting privacy rights and copyrights was the primary reason for disagreements regarding third-party archival of tweets, many respondents intuitively displayed a negative reaction without any specific reason. Those who question its value and feel uncomfortable with an authoritative intervention were also identified. To nurture acceptant attitudes, advocating the archival of personal documents and adopting more restrictive archival procedures like taking down posts and anonymisation, public debates on the intervention of public bodies and demonstration of archival values should be considered.

Abstract This article analyzes the close relationship between religion (i.e. religious discourses in the context of everyday life) and modernization (i.e. the intensive and excessive use of social media in society). This article is based on literature and social media review—in particular it reviews on how the role of religion changed drastically due to mediatization process that occurs in the public sphere; as well as how the social media plays a dynamic role in society. This article concludes that the new image of religion as shown in mass media and social media demonstrates its shifting power from traditional institutions to mass and social media. Religious value immerses into every aspect of the everyday life and the religious aura; and this phenomenon neglects the secularization theory. Keywords: anthropology, social media, marriage, Islam  Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis hubungan erat antara agama (yaitu wacana keagamaan dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari) dan modernisasi (yaitu penggunaan media sosial yang intensif dan eksesif dalam masyarakat). Analisis berdasar pada studi literatur dan observasi di dunia maya - termasuk beberapa akun media sosial dan interaksi antara netizen - terutama bahasan mengenai perubahan peran agama yang drastis akibat proses mediatisasi yang di ranah publik; sebagaimana media memainkan peran dinamis dalam masyarakat. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa citra baru agama, yang terpampang di media massa dan media sosial, mencerminkan pergeseran kekuasaan agama dari institusi tradisional ke media. Nilai-nilai agama terus menemukan celah untuk memasuki setiap aspek kehidupan dan mencakup aspek aura agama sehingga fenomena ini tidak sesuai dengan teori sekulerisasi. Kata kunci: antropologi, media sosial, pernikahan, Islam

Media Data

Young people’s engagements with social media now generate large quantities of personal data, with “big social data” becoming an increasingly important “currency” in the digital economy. While using social media platforms is ostensibly “free,” users nevertheless “pay” for these services through their personal data—enabling advertisers, content developers, and other third parties to profile, predict, and position individuals. Such developments have prompted calls for social media users to adopt more informed and critical stances toward how and why their data are being used—that is, to build “critical data literacies.” This article reports on research that explores young social media users’ understandings of their personal data and its attendant issues. Drawing on research with groups of young people (aged 13–17 years), the article investigates the consequences of making third party (re)uses of personal data openly available for social media users to interpret and make critical sense of. The findings provide valuable insights into young people’s understandings of the technical, social, and cultural issues that underpin their ability to engage with, and make sense of, social media data. The article concludes by considering how research into critical data literacies might connect in more meaningful and effective ways with everyday lived experiences of social media use.

SammendragDenne artikkelen diskuterer barns rett til deltagelse og beskyttelse på internett i relasjon til kommersielletredjepartsaktørers bruk av digitale persondata. Det tas utgangspunkt i FNs barnekonvensjon,norsk lovgivning, samt kvalitative og kvantitative funn fra en nylig gjennomført studieblant norske 15–18 åringer om personvern og markedsføring i sosiale medier. Datamaterialetbestod av fokusgruppeintervjuer, barns skjermdumper av markedsføring fra deres profiler isosiale medier og en landsrepresentativ spørreundersøkelse. Studien viser at barns deltakelsei sosiale medier skjer i et svært komplekst kommersielt landskap hvor de utsettes for skjultemarkedsføringsteknikker, skreddersydd reklame og ulovlig innhold. Diskusjonen løfter frem utfordringerog dilemmaer knyttet til økende kommersialisering av barns persondata, stereotypiskog diskriminerende syn på kjønn og plattformenes inngrep i barns privatliv. Det pekes på behovfor tilsyn av hvordan beskyttende regelverk og brukervilkår fungerer og gis eksempel på hvordansamarbeid med barn er viktig for bygging av relevant kunnskap, styrking av bevissthet og digitalkompetanse i denne sammenheng.Nøkkelord: barn, sosiale medier, markedsføring, personlige data, rettigheter, forbrukerkompetanse,stereotypier, diskrimineringCustomized to the child’s best interest? Privacy andmarketing on Norwegian children’s social media profilesAbstractThis article takes a closer look at conditions that influence Norwegian children’s need for provision, participation,and protection online and discusses these rights in relation to how third-party commercialactors use user data to customize content on social media. The discussion is based on the United NationsConvention on the Rights of the Child, Norwegian legislation and a study conducted in 2018 among 15–18year old Norwegian children on privacy and social media marketing (focus groups, visual material, and arepresentative survey). This study finds that children are subjected to a highly complex commercial landscapeconsisting of hidden marketing strategies, tailored advertising, and illegal content. Social media participationentails a continuous gathering and exploitation of children’s personal data by commercial actors.The discussion highlights challenges and issues related to increasing commercialization, stereotypical anddiscriminatory gender views, and risk of intrusion into children’s privacy. The need for protective regulationsand co-creational strategies with children to strengthen digital competence is also emphasized.

Mobile communication and devices have raised a series of challenges concerning the delimitation of public and private, intimate and personal spheres. Specifically, and because of its close connection to the nervous system and emotions, these devices allow a wide variety of affordances while, and in accordance to the broad scope of previous dimensions, a series of worrying risks – because of the same relationship and interdependence between users' rational and sensorial sides. Thus, an international state of the art review will be discussed and the results and conclusions of the ‘Public and Private in Mobile Communications' European FEDER will be offered. A range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies were applied: surveys about general use and habits, personal data and images; focus groups; interviews in person and by telephone; content analysis with a special focus on social media and an observation ethnography and digital ethnography.

Distributed Cloud Environment (DCE) focuses mainly on securing the data and safely shares it to the user. Data leakage may occur by the channel compromising or with the key managers. It is necessary to safeguard the communication channel between the entities before sharing the data. In this process of sharing, what if the key managers compromises with intruders and reveal the information of the user’s key that is used for encryption. The process of securing the key by using the user’s phrase is the key concept used in the proposed system “Secure Storing and Sharing of Data in Cloud Environment using User Phrase (S3DCE). It does not rely on any key managers to generate the key instead; the user himself generates the key. In order to provide double security, the public key derived from the user’s phrase also encrypts the encryption key. S3DCE guarantees privacy, confidentiality and integrity of the user data while storing and sharing. The proposed method S3DCE is more efficient in terms of time, cost and resource utilization compared to the existing algorithm DaSCE (Data Security for Cloud Environment with Semi Trusted Third Party) [22] and DACESM (Data Security for Cloud Environment with Scheduled Key Managers) [23].

Blockchain Technology

Clinical research comprises participation from patients. Often there are concerns of enrolment from patients. Hence, it has to face various challenges related to personal data, such as data sharing, privacy and reproducibility, etc. Patients and researchers need to track a set plan called study protocol. This protocol spans through various stages such as registration, collection and analysis of data, report generation, and finally, results in publication of findings. The Blockchain technology has emerged as one of the possible solutions to these challenges. It has a potential to address all the problem associated with clinical research. It provides the comfort for building transparent, secure services relying on trusted third party. This technology enables one to share the control of the data, security, and the parameters with a single patient or a group of patients or any other stakeholders of clinical trial. This chapter addresses the use of blockchain in execution of secure and trusted clinical trials.

This article examines the market for smartphone applications (commonly called “apps”) with the goal of assessing current information asymmetry about app security and consumer privacy. It also reviews signaling as a potential policy intervention designed to address information asymmetry. Given the rapid growth of the app market, comparisons can be drawn between the market for smartphone apps and a market for lemons, as commonly found in a developing economy that lacks structured quality-control mechanisms. Despite growing concern over personal data collection and how these data are used, traded, and/or sold, the public remains relatively uneducated about and either ignorant of or apathetic toward privacy concerns when downloading apps to their smartphones. Incorporating simple security cues—similar to the “star” scale used in consumer reviews—is one example of a signaling mechanism that could help address the information asymmetry in the app marketplace.This article first examines similarities between the smartphone app market and George A. Akerlof’s classic lemons market. The goal is to expose the lemons market for app security—to simplify the scenario, an app will either be secure or insecure. Regular consumers do not have full information and therefore make purchases without knowing if an app is secure or insecure. Next, the article investigates how average consumers make decisions about cybersecurity and whether addressing the information asymmetry in the app market will alter decision making. Finally, it suggests incorporating a simple, icon-based security signal to reduce the information asymmetry and discusses the potential impact of such a policy.
