The paper focuses on how social media usage by children determines their interactions with consumer brands. First it describes how and when young children develop brand awareness and which are the most important predictors of this development. Those findings are then put in connection with the impact of social media. We elaborate on a deeper level how children approach online communications with brands in the social media context. Our assumptions are supported by a research conducted on a group of New Zealand children, both boys and girls in the age group of 11-14 years. This qualitative approach was implemented using in-depth interviews and identifies three key modes of brand interaction behaviour when young consumers use social media. According to these findings we assume that there is a connection between the use of social media and children´s relationship with consumer brands.

In the present scenario it is observed that 66.60 percent population of the world has a mobile device (cell phones, tablets and other mobile devices). Billions of users are using the social media across various platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Instagram etc. But simultaneously, the Internet crimes and frauds are increasing rapidly day by day across the world in which the social media platforms are playing a vital role. Criminals use mobile phones as a partner in their crimes. They use social media platforms for criminal motive. To hold-up and to trace the criminals, the investigation agencies try to find out the locations of the criminals by tracing their mobile numbers using CDR analysis, IP address analysis and other methods. But the criminal have been intelligent now and using the new technologies to hide themselves. The criminals use social media accounts for calling and chatting so that police or other investigation agencies cannot trace them easily. In such conditions, it was felt necessary to develop such a tool that can facilitate the investigating agencies and police personnel to trace the criminals easily. Therefore, a tool named SNUFF is developed by the authors that can help the police and other agencies to trace and find out the exact location of the person or the criminal who has been using the social media sites for his ill intentions.

Use Of Social Media

Social media as a communication tool has enabled governments around the world to interact with citizens for customer service, access to information and to direct community involvement needs. The trends around the world show recognition by governments that social media content may constitute records and should be managed accordingly. The literature shows that governments and organisations in other countries, particularly in Europe, have social media policies and strategies to guide the management of social media content, but there is less evidence among African countries. Thus the purpose of this paper is to examine the extent of usage of social media by the Botswana government in order to determine the necessity for the governance of liquid communication. Liquid communication here refers to the type of communication that goes easily back and forth between participants involved through social media. The ARMA principle of availability requires that where there is information governance, an organisation shall maintain its information assets in a manner that ensures their timely, efficient and accurate retrieval. The study adopted a qualitative case study approach where data were collected through documentary reviews and interviews among purposively selected employees of the Botswana government. This study revealed that the Botswana government has been actively using social media platforms to interact with its citizens since 2011 for increased access, usage and awareness of services offered by the government. Nonetheless, the study revealed that the government had no official documentation on the use of social media, and policies and strategies that dealt with the governance of liquid communication. This study recommends the governance of liquid communication to ensure timely, efficient and accurate retrieval when needed for business purposes.
