After a development of more than fifty years, today the Internet has established itself as the key element of cyberspace. Network users exceed half of the world's population, while its impact reaches all sides of contemporary societies. Today, free access to the Internet is inserted in the field of human rights; however, at the same time, concerns about the credibility of information stored on the network are increasing. This article will focus, from the point of view of cybersecurity, on three main topics related to the respect of individual rights and guarantees: Internet accessibility and digital surveillance; social networks and the privacy of personal data; and the use of those social networks in the execution of disinformation operations that include fake news and post-truth narratives.

Este trabajo aborda, de manera sintética, uno de los problemas más relevantes con los que nos estamos encontrando en el Siglo XXI resultado del fenómeno de Internet, el de las redes sociales que constituyen vías consolidadas de relación e interacción cotidianas, no sólo de las nuevas generaciones de adolescentes y jóvenes, sino también de todo el conjunto de nuestra sociedad. Y pese a que la utilización de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación ofrece grandes oportunidades y ventajas, no puede obviarse igualmente que éstas nos pueden situar en la sociedad del riesgo, por cuanto que pueden entrañar múltiples peligros, entre los que cobra una especial relevancia la posibilidad de conculcación de los derechos fundamentales a la intimidad, al honor, a la propia imagen y a la protección de datos personales, bien individualmente considerados o, bien de forma conjunta, acrecentándose los citados riesgos entre jóvenes y adolescentes, en cuanto usuarios indiscriminados. Pero, a éstos se añaden además otros riesgos por conductas delictivas, como el denominado Ciberacoso.This research recollects in a synthetic way, one of the most relevant problems the society is facing today, as a consequence of the Internet phenomenon. The routes of social Networks in the daily relations and interactions are consolidating in such a way that is not only affecting the young teenagers and the new generation, but also the whole of our society. In spite of the fact that, the utilization of new Technology of Information and Communication offer great opportunities and have many advantages, however, one should not ignore that this situation is putting the society at risk. This phenomenon contains many dangers, as well as the possibility of violating the fundamental laws to intimacy, to the honor, to one’s own image and to the personal data protection, being individually considered or as a whole form in conjunction of the mentioned risks between the youth and adults users. Moreover, there will be an increase of this risk, because of criminal behaviors as Ciber bullying.

In light of the many major changes in the lives of children and adolescents due to digital developments, this study sought to examine positive and negative experiences, e-safety and sharing with others while surfing the internet and especially social networks from the point of view of children and adolescents. The study also examined the correlation between these experiences, self-image and computer skills. Participating in this mixed-method study were 373 children and teenagers, who were divided into three age groups. The findings showed a positive correlation between self-image, the level of computer skills and the degree of internet use. The measure of self-esteem was found to correlate positively with the parameters of social networks surfing except for the parameter of negative experiences. Social networks and internet use among 16-18-year-olds was found to be higher than among younger children, with a rise in the number of teenagers’ negative experiences that corresponded to the rise in use. The adolescents also mentioned they had been exposed to violent content at a higher rate than the younger groups.

The Internet provides a space for network users to communicate freely. The desire of network users to express their thoughts, imagination and self-knowledge is reflected in the slang on the Internet and social networks. The language of the Internet appeared as a product of the network, formed its own characteristics in the process of use and acquired its own pragmatic function. These qualities have made it an important tool of modern communication and a cultural carrier.The pragmatic approach to the recipient of information is an important function of any language communication. Although the root of Chinese Internet slang comes from Chinese, it gives a completely different meaning and character as a network language than literal, which requires a pragmatic study to understand. From the point of view of the speaker and the listener, people's speech actions are considered as social behavior governed by various social conditions. It is aimed at explaining that the use of special words in a particular environment can determine the meaning of the text, affect all aspects, and thus determine the pragmatic rules. Before using a slang word, any network user should pay attention to its meaning, as it can also have a negative connotation.

The explosion of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to a major transformation in media consumption and the use of social networks. New habits and extensive exposure to connected devices coupled with unmanageable amounts of information warn of a worrying reality, especially among the younger population. The aim of this research is to discover the degree of trustworthiness of Generation Z towards the media, their media consumption preferences and the association they make between media consumption and fake news. Using a descriptive and exploratory quantitative methodology, a study is presented with a sample of 225 young people belonging to this population niche. The study addresses three dimensions: media consumption, social networks and perception of fake news. The results show that generation Z is an intensive consumer of the media they trust the least and perceive traditional media as the most trustworthy. The findings indicate that social networks are the main source of information consumption for this ge­neration, among other content, despite also being the least trustworthy and the most likely to distribute fake news according to their perceptions. There is a lack of media literacy from a critical rather than a formative perspective.

ABSTRACT This work addresses the risk that adolescents face when they misuse the Internet. The results of an investigation carried out with 206 adolescents about the use of Internet, cyberbullying and sexting are presented. The results showed that parents of adolescents are unaware of their children's use of social networks, girls practice sexting more than boys, and there are more boys who practice cyberbullying in the role of executioner, while girls star in it as the victim.RESUMENEste trabajo aborda el riesgo que corren los adolescentes cuando hacen un mal uso de Internet. Se exponen los resultados de una investigación llevada a cabo con 206 adolescentes en los que se analiza el uso de Internet, el ciber acoso (ciberbullying) y el sexting. En los resultados señalamos que los padres de los chicos y las chicas adolescentes desconocen el uso que hacen sus hijos de las redes sociales, las chicas practican más el sexting que los chicos en la adolescencia, siendo el sexting una nueva forma de sexismo impulsado por las tecnologías, y son más los chicos que practican el ciberbullying en el rol de verdugo, mientras que las chicas lo protagonizan desde el papel de víctima.

In this chapter, the analysis will focus on the concept of digital identity which is evolving and changing, based on the experiences that every individual lives. The chapter further highlights how the digital identity includes the fundamental human rights such as the right to a name, the right of reply, the right to protection of personal data and the right to an image. In translating the right to personal identity to our digitalized era, with its massive use of social networks, we have added to the related decalogue of rights the right to oblivion, equally called right to be forgotten. Given the complexity of the subject, the chapter develops an analysis of the actual international regulatory trends.

Sentiment Mining

The popularity of the internet has increased the use of e-commerce websites and news channels. Fake news has been around for many years, and with the arrival of social media and modern-day news at its peak, easy access to e-platform and exponential growth of the knowledge available on social media networks has made it intricate to differentiate between right and wrong information, which has caused large effects on the offline society already. A crucial goal in improving the trustworthiness of data in online social networks is to spot fake news so the detection of spam news becomes important. For sentiment mining, the authors specialise in leveraging Facebook, Twitter, and Whatsapp, the most prominent microblogging platforms. They illustrate how to assemble a corpus automatically for sentiment analysis and opinion mining. They create a sentiment classifier using the corpus that can classify between fake, real, and neutral opinions in a document.

Social networks play an important role in today’s society and in our relationships with others. They give the Internet user the opportunity to play an active role, e.g., one can relay certain information via a blog, a comment, or even a vote. The Internet user has the possibility to share any content at any time. However, some malicious Internet users take advantage of this freedom to share fake news to manipulate or mislead an audience, to invade the privacy of others, and also to harm certain institutions. Fake news seeks to resemble traditional media to establish its credibility with the public. Its seriousness pushes the public to share them. As a result, fake news can spread quickly. This fake news can cause enormous difficulties for users and institutions. Several authors have proposed systems to detect fake news in social networks using crowd signals through the process of crowdsourcing. Unfortunately, these authors do not use the expertise of the crowd and the expertise of a third party in an associative way to make decisions. Crowds are useful in indicating whether or not a story should be fact-checked. This work proposes a new method of binary aggregation of opinions of the crowd and the knowledge of a third-party expert. The aggregator is based on majority voting on the crowd side and weighted averaging on the third-party side. An experimentation has been conducted on 25 posts and 50 voters. A quantitative comparison with the majority vote model reveals that our aggregation model provides slightly better results due to weights assigned to accredited users. A qualitative investigation against existing aggregation models shows that the proposed approach meets the requirements or properties expected of a crowdsourcing system and a voting system.

Current Scenario

The terms ‘fake news’ and ‘post-truth’ have been used to describe the augmented dissemination potential of misinformation in digital networks in the second decade of the years 2000. In Brazil, different actors have been exploiting digital social networks for political purposes, disseminating content that imitates legitimate journalistic material, often obtaining better audience metrics than the news stories published by mainstream media. This article is divided into two parts. First, defines the term pseudojournalism to classify fraudulent texts that use journalistic narrative resources to deceive the audience. Second, it presents the results of an analysis of 23 political content producers with the greatest audience on Facebook in Brazil, based on the credibility indicators developed by Projeto Credibilidade (Trust Project). The results suggest that, in the current scenario, it is not possible to distinguish the quality journalism from pseudojournalism based on the characteristics of the websites and articles published by political content producers.Os termos “notícias falsas” e “pós-verdade” vêm sendo usados para descrever a potencialização da desinformação nas redes digitais na segunda década dos anos 2000.

A campanha de Carnaval da cerveja Skol foi alvo de reclamações em redes sociais: a frase “Esqueci o ‘não’ em casa” foi acrescida de “e trouxe o nunca”, uma crítica ao que foi visto como um incentivo da cerveja ao comportamento irresponsável de seus consumidores, passando por cima de limites legítimos em um momento (o Carnaval) em que o abuso alcóolico atrela-se a incidentes violentos. A campanha foi retirada pela empresa, apesar de denúncias do público no Conar terem sido arquivadas. O caso é avaliado a partir dos mecanismos de responsabilização social, preconizados pela economia política da comunicação, adotando a metodologia da análise de discurso crítica. Entre os resultados encontrados, é possível apontar que o caso se insere em rara contracorrente de conflitos de liberdade de expressão, em que essa liberdade se choca não com direitos diferentes, mas com a própria liberdade de expressão – no caso, a possibilidade de evitar dizer “não” e o poder de dizê-lo. Palavras-chave: comunicação; censura; liberdade de expressão; ativismo; redes sociais. AbstractSkol beer Carnival advertisements triggered complaints in social networks: the sentence “I forgot ‘no’ at home” was added “and I brought ‘never’”, a critic to what was seen as an incentive to consumers’ irresponsible behavior, ignoring legitimate limits in a period (Carnival) in which alcohol abuse is linked to violent incidents. The advertiser decided to remove this campaign, but self-regulatory National Advertising Ethic Council ignored public complaints and dismissed the case. This article evaluates this case in the point of view of public accountability, as determined by communication political economy studies. To analyze this conflict, this paper adopts critical discourse analysis methods. As a result, it is possible to point out that this is a rare case of conflict among free speech rights, in which this freedom collides not against other rights, but conflicts with itself – in this case, the possibility to avoid saying “no” and the power to say it. Keywords: communication; censorship; free speech; activism; social networks. ResumenLa campaña de Carnaval de la cerveza Skol sufrió reclamaciones en las redes sociales: la frase “Olvidé el ‘no’ en casa” fue acrecida de “y traje el ‘nunca’”, una crítica contra el incentivo hecho por la productora de cerveza al comportamiento irresponsable de sus consumidores, ignorando límites legítimos en un período (el Carnaval) en que el abuso de alcohol lleva a incidentes violentos. La campaña fue removida por la empresa, pero quejas del público en el órgano de autorregulación publicitaria fueron archivadas. El caso es evaluado a partir de mecanismos de responsabilidad social, preconizados por la economía política de la comunicación, adoptando la metodología del análisis de discurso crítica. Es posible apuntar que ese es un raro caso de una contracorriente de conflictos de la libertad de expresión, en que esa libertad no colide con otros derechos distintos, pero con la misma libertad de expresión – en el caso, la posibilidad de evitar decir el “no” y el poder de decirlo. Palabras clave: comunicación; libertad de expresión; activismo; redes sociales.Disponível em:Url: http://opendepot.org/2782/ Abrir em (para melhor visualização em dispositivos móveis - Formato Flipbooks):Issuu / Calameo
