Meikle Social Media Social Media; by Graham Meikle Format: Demy (138 ×216 mm); Style: B; Font: Sabon; Dir: //integrafs5/KCG/2-Pagination/TandF/MESO_RAPS/Applica- tionFiles/9780415712231_text.3d; Created: 17/12/2015 @ 15:33:58 Social Media Social media platforms have captured the attention and imagination of many millions of people, enabling their users to develop and display their creativity, to empathize with others, and to find connection, communica- tion and communion. But they are also surveillance systems through which those users become complicit in their own commercial exploita- tion. In this accessible book, Graham Meikle explores the tensions between these two aspects of social media. From Facebook and Twitter to Reddit and YouTube, Meikle examines social media as industries and as central sites for understanding the cultural politics of everyday life. Building on the new forms of communication and citizenship brought about by these platforms, he analyses the meanings of sharing and privacy, internet memes, remix cultures and citizen jour- nalism. Throughout, Social Media engages with questions of visibility, performance, platforms and users, and demonstrates how networked digital media are adopted and adapted in an environment built around the convergence of personal and public communication. Graham Meikle is Professor of Communication and Digital Media at the University of Westminster, UK.

Social Media; by Graham Meikle Format: Demy (138 ×216 mm); Style: B; Font: Sabon; Dir: //integrafs5/KCG/2-Pagination/TandF/MESO_RAPS/Applica- tionFiles/9780415712231_text.3d; Created: 17/12/2015 @ 15:34:00 Introduction In 2014, a well-known frozen-food company introduced a new product called Mashtags. These are frozen mashed-potato chunks, shaped like common images from our daily online lives – email @ symbols, #hashtags and two different kinds of smiley :-) faces. So our daily diet can now include not just typing these social media icons, but also eating them, as they displace the alphabet-shaped potatoes that have themselves gone the way of the dinosaur-shaped potato. Mashtags are one index of just how quickly and deeply social media have taken root in our everyday lives. The social media repertoire of friending and following, of liking and tagging and commenting and sharing, has become second nature in a few short years. The size and reach of the largest networks, many of which are still only a few years old, can still astonish, as can the speed with which they have embedded themselves in daily life. The early mythology of Face- book had become a major Hollywood film within six years of the firm’s creation, with The Social Network winning Oscars before the actual social network had yet gone public on the stock exchange. As I write this, Facebook is eleven years old and can claim one in every five people on earth as a regular user. YouTube is ten, and boasts that 300 hours of video are uploaded to its site every minute. Twitter hashtags now appear on screen throughout the TV news, and as prompts to viewer action in reality shows, current affairs debates, live sport broadcasts and even the weather forecast. The contours of the contemporary social media environment were drawn in a short period in the middle of the first decade of the twenty- first century. The opening act was the purchase of MySpace in 2005 for US$580 million by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. Murdoch’s takeover put social media into the headlines, and signalled that they could be a mainstream proposition. In July 2006, Twitter launched. In September, Facebook dropped its membership restrictions and opened up Social Media; by Graham Meikle Format: Demy (138 ×216 mm); Style: B; Font: Sabon; Dir: //integrafs5/KCG/2-Pagination/TandF/MESO_RAPS/Applica- tionFiles/9780415712231_text.3d; Created: 17/12/2015 @ 15:34:00 viii Introduction to anyone over 13 who wanted to join. And in October, Google bought YouTube for US$1.65 billion, leading Time magazine to pronounce that you were the person of the year. In January 2007, Apple announced its first iPhone, going on to introduce its App Store the following year. In this short period we can see the convergence of established media companies, software services, user-generated content platforms, social networks and new communications devices built around ubiquitous connection. These emerging social media services helped drive demand for smartphones, and smartphones helped network effects to kick in for the successful social media services. Social media apps are consistently popular and help platforms to consolidate and expand their number of users and keep them using their service. The top five free iPhone apps listed in the UK App Store at the time of writing in July 2015 are WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram – of these five, only YouTube is not owned by Facebook. Such rapid change, of course, brings fresh anxieties – anxieties that we can see being worked out in popular culture. Social media have quickly come to animate the plots of dystopian novels, films and television pro- grammes; these mirror the utopian fictions of the mission statements and press releases of the social media firms themselves, to which we’ll return in Chapter 2. For example, anxiety about the authenticity of those with whom we may communicate in online networks has prompted the cautionary Catfish documentary feature film and its spinoff TV series. The original documentary unravels the relationships of its protagonist Nev, as his online friend Megan is gradually revealed to be a fantasy construct of multiple fake profiles and accounts maintained by someone else entirely.

  • Oneorganism Ecosystem Discovered in African Gold Mine
    3/19/14 One-Organism Ecosystem Discovered in African Gold Mine - Wired Science Science News for Your Neurons Share on Facebook 85 shares Tweet 7 0 Share 2 One­Organism Ecosystem Discovered in African Gold Mine By Alexis Madrigal 10.09.08 11:19 AM Edit In the hot, dark water of a South African mine, scientists have found the world’s loneliest species. Everywhere else biologists have studied life on our planet, they’ve found communities of life, but today, biologists announced they have discovered an ecosystem that contains just a single species of bacteria. www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/10/one-organism-ec/ 1/32 3/19/14 One-Organism Ecosystem Discovered in African Gold Mine - Wired Science In all other known ecosystems, the key functions of life — harvesting energy and elements like carbon and nitrogen from the environment — have been shared among different species. But in the water of the Mponeng gold mine, two miles under the earth’s surface, Desulforudis audaxviator carries out all of those functions by itself. In short, it’s the tidiest package of life found yet. "It is possible to pack everything necessary for maintaining life into one genome," said Dylan Chivian of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. All known life forms need carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and an energy source to live. Plants need nitrogen, but can’t just pull it from the atmosphere and start using it to make amino acids. Instead, they rely on archaea for that task. Interconnections like these form the basis of an ecosystem, often cheesily called the ‘web of life’.

  • La Solidarietà: Primo Strumento Di Contrasto All’Incitamento All’Odio (Hate Speech)
    giudicedonna.it Numeri 2-3/2019 La solidarietà: primo strumento di contrasto all’incitamento all’odio (hate speech) Lucia Tria SOMMARIO: 1. - L’hate speech, fenomeno connaturato alla storia dell’uomo. 2. - Incitamento all’odio online e offline. 3. - Fake news e trolling. 4. - La particolare “efficacia” dell’incitamento all’odio online. 5. - Le fonti giuridiche. 6. - Il difficile bilanciamento tra il diritto alla libertà di espressione e contrasto ai discorsi di incitamento all’odio nella giurisprudenza della Corte di Strasburgo. 7. - La Corte di giustizia UE. 8. - Il piano d’azione di Rabat. 9. - La difficile individuazione di strategie di contrasto. 10. - Le bugie sono più potenti della verità. 11. - La reazione dell’Europa. 12. - La risposta giurisdizionale. 13. - Combattere la solitudine e la marginalizzazione. 14. - Conclusioni. 1. L’hate speech, fenomeno connaturato alla storia dell’uomo. L’incitamento all’odio (hate speech, in inglese) è un fenomeno che pone moltissimi problemi sociali e giuridici – nazionali, europei e globali – soprattutto nella sua versione on-line. Si tratta di un fenomeno che si collega alle discriminazioni in quanto è intenzionalmente diretto a spingere all’intolleranza verso persone o gruppi vulnerabili alle discriminazioni e con modalità tali da propagarsi in modo efficace. Purtroppo, l’hate speech – al pari delle discriminazioni – è un fenomeno connaturato alla storia dell’uomo, la misoginia così come il razzismo sono radicati nella cultura occidentale, pertanto gli unici strumenti di contrasto non possono essere la rimozione dei singoli contenuti e/o l’irrogazione di sanzioni penali. Infatti, tali strumenti – il cui utilizzo deve comportare la possibilità per le vittime di difendersi adeguatamente, non solo in sede giudiziaria – servono a punire comportamenti “patologici”, che dovrebbero rappresentare delle eccezioni, mentre si deve puntare alla diffusione di prassi e comportamenti “fisiologicamente” corretti e rispettosi del principio di eguaglianza, andando ad analizzare le cause del fenomeno.

Welser The present study explores the structural aspects of online communities and the potential of online communications technologies for social movement mobilization. This is accomplished through an examination of the online collective known as Anonymous and this group’s social movement activism targeted against the Church of Scientology. The research is primarily concerned with answering questions of how the social structural contexts of Anonymous as an online community influenced the growth and development of Project Chanology, how Anonymous is able to establish insider status and group boundaries without access to traditional markers of identity, and what, if any, form of leadership developed within Chanology. To answer these questions, a hybrid methodology consisting of a qualitative case study and network analysis is developed.
