  • Address Munging: the Practice of Disguising, Or Munging, an E-Mail Address to Prevent It Being Automatically Collected and Used
    Address Munging: the practice of disguising, or munging, an e-mail address to prevent it being automatically collected and used as a target for people and organizations that send unsolicited bulk e-mail address. Adware: or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. Some types of adware are also spyware and can be classified as privacy-invasive software. Adware is software designed to force pre-chosen ads to display on your system. Some adware is designed to be malicious and will pop up ads with such speed and frequency that they seem to be taking over everything, slowing down your system and tying up all of your system resources. When adware is coupled with spyware, it can be a frustrating ride, to say the least. Backdoor: in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected. The backdoor may take the form of an installed program (e.g., Back Orifice), or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. A back door is a point of entry that circumvents normal security and can be used by a cracker to access a network or computer system. Usually back doors are created by system developers as shortcuts to speed access through security during the development stage and then are overlooked and never properly removed during final implementation.

  • Interventions for Children Experiencing Complex Trauma (Developmental Trauma Disorder)
    1 Interventions for Children Experiencing Complex Trauma (Developmental Trauma Disorder) Preliminary Compilation from Research Project, Classroom Support for Children with Complex Trauma and Attachment Disruption Linda O’Neill, Andrew Kitchenham, and Tina Fraser, UNBC Serena George, Research Associate Joanna Pooley, Research Assistant Sarah Henklemen, Research Assistant Funded through SSHRC Partnership Development Grant 2 Introduction In our work to better understand and support children who have experienced Type I trauma (single-event, post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) and Type II trauma (multiple events of an interpersonal nature, complex trauma also named developmental trauma disorder [DTD]) and the caregivers, teachers, counsellors and support staff who help these children, our team has worked to compile interventions and approaches that are designed by to establish safety for such children and aid in lowering distress. The following interventions and strategies were designed by researchers and experienced practitioners and come from various sources that are fully referenced in the appendix. Caregivers, teachers, counsellors and other helpers are strongly recommended to have a basic understanding of trauma-informed practice before using the following interventions. In all trauma support work, safety is paramount. A safe environment is critical for children with complex trauma reactions, with the establishment of safety the first stage of all trauma work (Aideuis, 2007; Courtois, 2008; Herman, 1997). For children who now see the world in a negative light and do not trust others, interventions can only succeed in a safe environment where self-efficacy and a sense of mastery are fostered (Faust & Katchen, 2004). The Attachment, Self-regulation and Competency (ARC) strengths-based model developed by Kinniburgh and Blaustein (2005) is a components based framework informed by attachment and traumatic stress theories.

Under the First Amendment, the government cannot compel Twitter to produce information related to the Account unless it “can show a compelling interest in the sought-after material and a sufficient nexusbetween the subject matter of the investigation and the information it seek[s].” Inre Grand Jury Subpoena No. 11116275,846 F.

  • Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet?
    D C CAN PUBLIC DIPLOMACY SURVIVE THE INTERNET? BOTS, ECHO CHAMBERS, AND DISINFORMATION Edited by Shawn Powers and Markos Kounalakis May 2017 TRANSMITTAL LETTER Tothe President, Congress, Secretary of State and the American People: Established in 1948, the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (ACPD) is authorized pur­ suant to Public Law 114- 113 to appraise all U.S. government efforts to understand, inform and in­ fluence foreign publics. We achieve this goal in a variety of ways, including, among other efforts, offering policy recommendations, and through our Comprehensive Annual Report, which tracks how the roughly $1.8 billion in appropriated funds is spent on public diplomacy efforts throughout the world. Part of the Commission’s mandate is to help the State Department prepare for cutting edge and transformative changes, which have the potential to upend how we think about engaging with foreign publics. This report aims to achieve precisely that. In order to think carefully about public diplomacy in this ever and rapidly changing communications space, the Commission convened a group of private sector, government, and academic experts at Stanford University’s Hoover Insti­ tution to discuss the latest research and trends in strategic communication in digital spaces. The results of that workshop, refined by a number of follow-on interviews and discussions with other organizations interested in similar questions, are included in this report. Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet? features essays by workshop participants that focus on emergent and potentially transformative technology and communication patterns. The essays also highlight the potential challenges and opportunities these changes create for public diplomacy practitioners in particular and the U.S.

  • 2014 COMMUNITY SURVEY an Assessment by Citizens of Richland’S Strategic Leadership Plan
    2014 COMMUNITY SURVEY An assessment by citizens of Richland’s Strategic Leadership Plan. CITY OF RICHLAND 2014 COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an executive summary of the results of Richland’s 2014 Community Survey. The Communications and Marketing Office administered the municipal survey during late 2014. In 2011, a baseline survey was created for the primary purpose of asking residents to assess their level of satisfaction with City Council-identified benchmarks and to obtain input toward potential goals for the Strategic Leadership Plan (SLP). The City conducted the survey in late 2014 so that City Council would receive an analysis of the results prior to its 2015 planning retreat. This timing will allow council to consider residents’ satisfaction levels with current services, suggestions, and comments in establishing the next set of five-year goals for the SLP. This, in turn, will guide the municipal staff in, first, identifying objectives to reach the goals and, second, recommending a budget for future years that will accomplish those objectives. ADMINISTERED BY THE CITY OF RICHLAND, WASHINGTON Communications & Marketing office | 2014 SURVEY METHODOLOGY The City conducted its 2014 survey through a web-based service. The City mailed postcards to a sampling of 4,250 residents, selected at random from the City’s utility customer base, inviting them to participate in the survey and instructing them how to access the survey via the City’s website. The postcard invited recipients without internet access and those who preferred a paper survey to request one by phoning the Communications and Marketing Office. Fifty-five residents requested paper copies of the survey; 45 of those completed and returned their surveys.

  • What to Do When Confronted by an Internet Troll. “One Negative Voice Aimed at Me Has the Incredible Power to Drown out a Thousand Positive Ones
    Internet Trolling What to do when confronted by an internet troll. “One negative voice aimed at me has the incredible power to drown out a thousand positive ones. One of the greatest things I can achieve is to never let it.” – Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing The key with online Trolls, just like any bully, is to report their behaviour and avoid responding to their comments. You can control who can contact you online and it’s important to make use of the muting, reporting and blocking features available on these platforms. However, it can be immensely frustrating and hurtful to know that people are spreading falsities and lies about you or your loved ones online. This may leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unsure of how to make it stop. We’ve compiled some guidance on the steps you can take in response to this behaviour on Twitter and Facebook. What is an internet ‘Troll’ UrbanDictionary.com defines Trolling as: “The deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument.” The anonymous nature of the internet allows for the bullies to operate without accountability or fear of punishment. Indeed, the self-creation of profiles allows user to pose as anyone (or no-one) and the nature of public platforms allows one post, or one user, to reach millions. Undoubtedly, these platforms can be used as a force for good, yet at the same time, can cause significant harm.

  • 'Please Read the Comments': Commenting Cultures
    Selected Papers of #AoIR2020: st The 21 ​ Annual Conference of the ​ Association of Internet Researchers D u b l i n Virtual, Irela nEventd / 2 8/ - 27-3131 Oc Octobertober 2 0202020 ‘PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS’: COMMENTING CULTURES ACROSS PLATFORMS Crystal Abidin Curtin University Platform-specific commenting cultures An old adage about the internet goes “Don’t Read The Comments”. It is a cynical word of caution from supposedly more experienced and savvy internet users, against a slew of negative, abusive, and unhelpful comments that are usually rampant online, stemming from trolling behaviour (Phillips 2015). “Don’t Read The Comments” has become an internet meme. Alongside parody websites (i.e. @AvoidComments n.d.), trawling through the comments section in search of ludicrosity has become an internet genre in and of itself. This comprises the likes of meme factory ‘The Straits Times Comment Section’ which collates absurd comments from users on a specific newspaper’s Facebook page (STcomments n.d.), as well as internet celebrity troll commentators like ‘American Ken’ M (Know Your Meme n.d.) and Singaporean ‘Peter Tan’ (Yeoh 2018), who post comments on a network of social media and fora in stealthily satirical ways that have even been co-opted for advertorials (Vox 2016). Such vernacular practice has in turn provoked a counter-genre of memes known as “I’m just Here For The Comments” (Tenor n.d.), in which users closely follow social media posts mainly for the resulting discussion and engagement in the comments section rather than the actual post itself. It is on this point of departure that this panel turns its focus to commenting cultures across platforms.

  • Cyber -Trolling, Cyber-Impersonation and Social Adjustment Among Secondary School Students in Calabar Education Zone, Cross River State, Nigeria
    British Journal of Education Vol.7, Issue 10, pp.44-52, October 2019 Published by ECRTD- UK Print ISSN: ISSN 2054-6351 (print), Online ISSN: ISSN 2054-636X (online) CYBER -TROLLING, CYBER-IMPERSONATION AND SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CALABAR EDUCATION ZONE, CROSS RIVER STATE, NIGERIA Denwigwe, C.P., Uche, R.D., Asuquo, P.N., and Ngbar, M.W. Department of Guidance and Counselling, University of Calabar, Calabar Nigeria. ABSTRACT: This study is an investigation of cyber-trolling, cyber-impersonation and social adjustment among secondary school students in Calabar Education Zone of Cross River State, Nigeria. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the discovery of the influence of cyber-trolling and cyber-impersonation on social adjustment of SS1 students which is the main purpose of the study. The research design adopted was the ex-post facto research design. 8829 public secondary school students formed the study population. A total sample of 579 students was selected through the purposive sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was the researcher-made Cyber bullying Assessment Questionnaire (CAQ), constructed on a four-point Likert scale of strongly agreed, agreed, disagreed and strongly disagreed. The Cronbach Alpha Reliability method was used to establish the reliability coefficient of the instrument with a range of 0.71 to 0.79. The statistical tool for data analysis was the One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings of the study revealed after the testing of the two hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance were that cyber-trolling and cyber- impersonation have negative influence on the social adjustment of secondary school students in Calabar Education Zone of Cross River State, Nigeria.

    The Fibreculture Journal issn: 1449-1443 DIGITAL MEDIA + NETWORKS + TRANSDISCIPLINARY CRITIQUE issue 22 2013: Trolls and the Negative Space of the Internet FCJ-167 Spraying, fishing, looking for trouble: The Chinese Internet and a critical perspective on the concept of trolling Gabriele de Seta Department of Applied Social Sciences, The Hong Kong Polytechnic Abstract: Internet research has dealt with trolls from many different perspectives, framing them as agents of disruption, nomadic hate breeders and lowbrow cynics spawned by the excessive freedoms of online interaction, or as legitimate and necessary actors in the ecology of online communities. Yet, the question remains: what is a troll, where it come from and where does it belong? Presenting the results of a brief troll-hunt on the Chinese Internet and discussing the features of troll-like figures in Chinese digital folklore, I argue in favour of a localised understanding of Internet cultures, presenting trolling as a culture-specific construct that has come to embody disparate kinds of online behaviour and to function as an umbrella term for different kinds of discourse about the Internet itself. ‘There is always need for a certain degree of civilisation before it is possible to understand this kind of humor” Wang Xiaobo, Civilisation and Satire’ 301 FCJ-167 fibreculturejournal.org FCJ-167 The Chinese Internet and a critical perspective on the concept of trolling Introduction: Why trolls, why China?** As an interdisciplinary field, Internet research is in the challenging position of having to work out useful concepts and categories from precarious jargons, concepts and categories that are constantly tested against, and challenged by, the magmatic and unpredictable development of Internet cultures.
