In recent years, social media have become an important avenue for self-expression. At the same time, the ease with which individuals disclose their private information has added to an already heated debate about the privacy implications of interactive media. This chapter investigates the relationship between disclosure of personal information in social media and two related trends: the increasing value of subjective or private experience as a social currency and the evolving nature of automated dataveillance. The authors argue that the results of the extended ability of individuals to negotiate their identity through social media are contradictory. The information revealed to communicate the complexity of one’s identity becomes an extensive source of data about individuals, thereby contributing to the functioning of a new regime of surveillance.

Often, individuals share private information on social media, being unaware of online dangers. You, a popular psychological thriller series on Netflix, raises issues of stalking behaviors through social media as part of a pattern of dating violence. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, this study examined how social media is used for erotic stalking, dating violence, and cyber safety awareness (or lack thereof) in You. The researchers analyzed all 10 episodes of the first season of You independently, taking notes. A combined in-depth analysis included discussions of messages and meanings resulting in three overarching themes: obsessive online and in-person erotic stalking, controlling behaviors in the context of the dating relationship, and an apparent indifference about cyber safety with oversharing of personal information on social media, which was exploited by the lead protagonist. You raises important concerns including inappropriate dating behaviors such as stalking, coercive control, violence, and questionable masculine attitudes, which are interwoven with an apparent lack of knowledge and understanding in relation to cyber safety. We concluded that raising awareness of the importance of online safety and security in the context of a dating relationship is imperative and that You can be used as an educational tool.


In this modern era of technology, everyone accessing the Internet is obsessed with social media. A User accesses different social media services to fulfill his diverse needs. For instance, Instagram is mainly used for sharing personal visual content while Twitter is known for finding latest news and trends, similarly Facebook for personal posts. Such services lead to the distribution of personal information of an Internet user on these platforms. In this paper, we build a framework to discover the relationship among the attributes of a user across the social media.We use different fuzzy string matching algorithms to find the similarities between the attributes. We extract the ‘name’ and ‘username’ from a publicly shared dataset and apply two character based and token based algorithms on these features. The results are indicative of the fact that only a limited number of users share the same name and username across the sites. On further analysis, it is found that although name and username of most of the users do not exactly match, they tend to be similar with the infinitesimal difference like; underscore, period, one digit numbers, etc. This study provides an analysis of the typical variations in names and usernames, which can further be studied for the extension to other social networks This profile will help in behavior analysis of a user, which will further help us to improve recommendations and analyze for criminal behavior and similar applications.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Abang None is a designation for Jakarta Tourism Ambassador. Researchers saw a phenomenon of self-transformation from a tourism ambassador to a celebrity. This phenomenon refers to case studies experienced by Maudy Koesnaedi, Bangpen, and Shabina Gianti. Researchers want to know the personal branding management process they want to form, and convey it to the public through Instagram social media. This study uses qualitative methods, with descriptive case studies, which depart from the Post Positivism paradigm. The concept used is personal branding, and is sharpened by the theory of Communication Private Management (CPM Theory). Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, and documentation analysis. The concept of personal branding proposed by Peter Montoya, refers to eight laws, namely the law of specialization, the law of leadership, the law of personality, the law of distinctiveness. , the law of appearance (the law of visibility), the law of unity, the law of persistence, and the law of good intentions. From these eight laws, the researcher saw that the three sources had different features, were consistent in managing personal branding, and were able to demonstrate good ethics in using social media. The theory of Communication Private Management (CPM Theory), proposed by Sandra Petronio, has five basic assumptions to see how they manage personal information in the public domain. The five assumptions are private information, private boundaries, control and ownership, rule-based management systems, and management dialectics. The three informants in general have known the limitations of their privacy with the public, so they understand the information that is allowed and not to be shared with the public. They have good management, between them and netizens. Researchers hope that further research can further develop the concept of personal branding, and CPM theory. Hopefully this research can be a reference, to be better developed from all aspects.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Personal Branding, Abang None, Celebrity, Instagram</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Abang None merupakan sebutan untuk Duta Pariwisata DKI Jakarta. Peneliti melihat adanya fenomena transformasi diri dari duta pariwisata menjadi seorang selebritis. Fenomena ini mengacu pada studi kasus yang dialami oleh Maudy Koesnaedi, Bangpen, dan Shabina Gianti. Peneliti ingin mengetahui proses pengelolaan personal branding yang ingin mereka bentuk, dan sampaikan ke publik lewat media sosial Instagram. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan studi kasus deskriptif, yang berangkat dari paradigma Post Positivisme. Konsep yang digunakan adalah personal branding, dan dipertajam dengan teori Communication Private Management (CPM Theory). Teknik pengumpulan datanya ialah observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumentasi. Konsep personal branding yang dikemukakan oleh Peter Montoya, mengacu pada delapan hukum, yaitu hukum spesialisasi (the law of specialization), hukum kepemimpinan (the law of leadership), hukum kepribadian (the law of personality), hukum perbedaan (the law of distinctiveness), hukum kenampakan (the law of visibility), hukum kesatuan (the law of unity), hukum keteguhan (the law of persistence), dan hukum maksud baik (the law of good will). Dari kedelapan hukum ini, peneliti melihat bahwa ketiga narsumber memiliki keistimewaan yang berbeda-beda, konsisten dalam mengelola personal branding, dan mampu menunjukkan etika yang baik dalam sosial. Teori Communication Private Management (CPM Theory), yang dikemukakan oleh Sandra Petronio, memiliki lima asumsi dasar untuk melihat bagaimana mereka mengelola informasi yang bersifat pribadi di wilayah publik. Lima asumsi itu ialah informasi privat, batasan privat, kontrol dan kepemilikan, sistem manajemen berdasarkan aturan, dan dialektika manajemen. Ketiga narasumber secara garis besar sudah mengetahui batasan privasi mereka dengan publik, sehingga mereka memahami informasi yang boleh dan tidak untuk dibagikan kepada publik. Mereka memiliki manajemen yang baik, antara mereka dan netizen. Peneliti berharap semoga penelitian selanjutnya bisa lebih mengembangkan konsep personal branding, dan teori CPM. Semoga penelitian ini bisa menjadi rujukan, untuk dikembangkan lebih baik lagi dari segala aspek.</p><p><strong>Kata Kunci:</strong> Personal Branding, Abang None, Selebritis, Instagram</p>

Social media is playing an important role to most people these days. People are using it to be connected among peers, updated with the latest information and also for e-commerce purposes. However, apart from its benefits there are others who would use the information obtained from social media in a malicious way such as harvesting personal information for black mailing, information manipulation and tele-marketing. This threat coupled with unsafe social media practice could expose the social media users to being manipulate into sharing sensitive and revealing information about them. In this paper, a preliminary investigation to identify distinct characterizations of unsafe social media habits is presented. For this study, we focused on one particular social engineering attack known as gatekeeper friending. In this attack, a would--be attacker or manipulator of information could exploit information shared over a social network and how an unsafe social media habits could expose its users to such attacks and exploitation.

Young people have obtained a reputation for caring less about their privacy due to their self-revealing presence on social media. Although one might easily be inclined to think that young people do not care about their privacy, an explanation for this could be that young people simply have a different idea of what privacy entails. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms that may explain differences in privacy concerns between younger and older people and between users and non-users of social network sites (SNSs). 1.008 users of SNS and 712 non-users participated in the study with a stratified distribution over adolescents, young adults, and adults. The results show that the difference in perceived risk-benefit balance partly mediates the relationship between use or non-use of SNSs and concern. SNS users are less concerned because they perceive more benefits relative to risks. Concern regarding privacy between young and old was mediated by their differences in privacy conceptions. Older individuals were more likely to associate situations related to personal information with privacy. In turn, these individuals reported more concern regarding their privacy.

This study aims to determine the nomophobia levels of pre-service teachers, the variables affecting their nomophobia levels, and the relationship between the levels of nomophobia and cyberloafing. The study, which was designed as a correlational study, was conducted with the voluntary participation of 666 pre-service teachers. The data of the study were collected using a personal information form, the Nomophobia Scale (NMP-Q), and the Cyberloafing Scale. The results showed that 528 students (79.3%) had a moderate and high level of nomophobia while 138 students (20.7%) had a low level of nomophobia. As a result of the analyses conducted to determine whether the nomophobia levels of teacher trainees differed depending on gender, it was seen that the nomophobia level of women was statistically higher than that of men. It was concluded that the nomophobia levels of the pre-service teachers did not vary depending on the level of education and their experience of using smartphones. Although, the results gathered from the first analysis results indicated that the nomophobia levels of the pre-service teachers depicted difference concerning the departments at which they studied, this difference proved insignificant as indicated by the anteceding detailed analyses carried out. It was concluded that the nomophobia levels of the pre-service teachers differed significantly depending upon the amount of time they spend on social media. The last finding of the study concluded that cyberloafing significantly predicted nomophobia levels of pre-service teachers. Based on this result, it can be said that the pre-service teachers&rsquo; cyberloafing behaviors will increase their tendency to exhibit nomophobic behaviors. For further research, mixed studies in which qualitative methods will also be used to obtain more in-depth data can be designed. It was also found out that the nomophobia levels of the pre-service teachers differed significantly based on their daily social media usage time.
