In this paper the authors illustrate the ethical dilemmas that arise when large public investigations in a crisis are crowdsourced. The authors focus the variations in public opinion concerning the actions of two online groups during the immediate aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombing. These groups collected and organized relief for victims, collected photos and videos taken of the bombing scene and created online mechanisms for the sharing and analysis of images collected online. They also used their large numbers and the affordances of the Internet to produce an answer to the question, “who was the perpetrator, and what kind of bomb was used?” The authors view their actions through public opinion, through sampling Twitter and applying a sentiment analysis to this data. They use this tool to pinpoint moments during the crisis investigation when the public became either more positively or negatively inclined toward the actions of the online publics. The authors use this as a surrogate, or proxy, for social approval or disapproval of their actions, which exposes large swings in public emotion as ethical lines are crossed by online publics.

This chapter has the exploratory goal of understanding the attitudes and perceptions of 'verified' Twitter (VA) accounts about the COVID-19 vaccine campaign. Identifying their sentiment and opinion about it could therefore be crucial to the success of vaccination. A content analysis of tweets from the period December 24, 2020 to March 23, 2021 about the vaccine campaign in Italy was conducted to understand the semantic strategies used by VAs based on their orientation toward the vaccine, whether pro, anti, or neutral, and their possible motivations. Topic modeling allowed the authors to detect five prevalent themes and their associated words. A sentiment analysis and opinion analysis were performed on a smaller sample of tweets. The results suggest that 'authoritative' opinion about the vaccine has been very fragmented and not entirely positive, as expected. This could prove to be a critical issue in getting the vaccine positively accepted by the public.

Fast growth of technology and the tremendous growth of population has made millions of people to be active participants on social networking forums. The experiences shared by the participants on different websites is highly useful not only to customers to make decisions but also helps companies to maintain sustainability in businesses. Sentiment analysis is an automated process to analyze the public opinion behind certain topics. Identifying targets of user’s opinion from text is referred to as aspect extraction task, which is the most crucial and important part of Sentiment Analysis. The proposed system is a rule-based approach to extract aspect terms from reviews. A sequence of patterns is created based on the dependency relations between target and its nearby words. The system of rules works on a benchmark of dataset for Hindi shared by Akhtar et al., 2016. The evaluated results show that the proposed approach has significant improvement in extracting aspects over the baseline approach reported on the same dataset.
