  • Reddit, Google Crack Down on Posting Nude Pics SAN FRANCISCO — Feb 24, 2015, 8:03 PM ET by MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer
    HOME> TECHNOLOGY Reddit, Google Crack Down on Posting Nude Pics SAN FRANCISCO — Feb 24, 2015, 8:03 PM ET By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer S hare 0 Share on email 5 Comments Reddit and Google are taking a tougher stance against nudity to prevent their services from turning into online peep shows. Social-networking and news site Reddit says it will remove photos, videos and links with explicit content if the person in the image hasn't given permission for it to be posted. Google Inc., the Internet's most powerful company, is going to ban most nude photos and video from publicly accessible sites on its popular Blogger service. The crackdown marks a shift in attitude for two services that have traditionally been freewheeling forums where users could literally let it all hang out. The lax approach has opened the door for nude and sexually explicit photos and video to be posted on Reddit and Blogger, even if the subjects featured in the images intended them to remain private. Until now, Reddit has had a hands-off approach to privacy, largely allowing its 160 million users to police their own forums within certain guidelines such as no child pornography or spam. The change comes about six months after hackers obtained nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities and posted them to social media sites including Reddit and Twitter. Without specifically calling out Reddit or Twitter, Lawrence lashed out at the sites that permitted nude photos to be posted of her. She likened the unauthorized use of photos of her body as a "sex crime." A Tuesday posting signed by Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao and other company executives said the shift is an effort to help grow the site "for the next 10 years and beyond." Effective March 10, Reddit will prohibit any photograph, video or digital image of a person who is nude or engaged in a sexual act if the subject hasn't given permission for it to be used.

  • Tech Workplaces-Based on a Case Study of Ellen Pao V. Kleiner
    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 118 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Economy (MSIE 2019) Asian American Women Face the Bamboo Ceiling in American High- Tech Workplaces-Based on a case study of Ellen Pao v. Kleiner Perkins Leyi Cao Nanjing Foreign Language School, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, 210000, China [email protected] Keywords: Asian American women, Bamboo ceiling, US high-tech workplaces, Intersectionality. Abstract. In the 21st century, Asian American women, as a group, are considered to face certain barriers-the bamboo ceiling in US high-tech workplaces specifically. The existence of such barriers and the choice of action toward the barriers become what people concern most about. Based on these issues, this paper first analyzes data to reveal the overview of the current situation of Asian American women in American High-Tech workplaces and are shown from comparisons between different social groups. Moreover, the paper also discusses a specific case raised by an individual Asian American Women against her employer company. Based on further analysis of the case, which is combined with the concept of intersectionality, the paper suggests more considerations of intersectionality and encourages more actions of Asian American women fighting for equality. 1.Introduction The glass ceiling faced by Asian Americans in current US workplaces is often recognized as the bamboo ceiling, referring to the practices that keep Asians from entering higher-paying, and more prominent jobs. By further considering Asian American women as a social group, intersectionality, in this paper, is employed to recognizing the intersection of race and gender in this issue.

  • An Exploration of the Formation and Empowerment of Opinion Leaders in a Reddit Gaming Community
    WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE HERE: AN EXPLORATION OF THE FORMATION AND EMPOWERMENT OF OPINION LEADERS IN A REDDIT GAMING COMMUNITY Clinton Chase Carter Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2017 APPROVED: Meredith Clark, Committee Chair Tracy Everbach, Committee Member Gwen Nisbett, Committee Member Dorothy Bland, Director of the Frank W. Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism and Dean of the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Carter, Clinton Chase. Who is Really in Charge Here: An Exploration of the Formation and Empowerment of Opinion Leaders in a Reddit Gaming Community. Master of Arts (Journalism), December 2017, 84 pp., 1 figure, references, 132 titles. In an attempt to shed light on the further sophistication of opinion leadership in online communities, this study examined the forces and structures that affect their formation in the League of Legends subreddit. By investigating what users thought about the various types of individuals with which the communicate, the researcher hoped to begin to understand and record how those forces work bother on this particular subreddit and in mass media beyond. Opinion leadership continues to be an integral force in deciding what information is consumed by a public and under what frames and agendas it is contextualized. If researchers can operationalize formal definitions for the influences and structures that occur online, they can better navigate the deep waters that are global communication on the internet.

  • The Community Industry: an Analysis of Reddit and /R/Socialism
    THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY: AN ANALYSIS OF REDDIT AND /R/SOCIALISM Richard Babb A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Samuel T McAbee, Graduate Faculty Representative Lara Lengel Yanqin Lu © 2021 Richard Babb All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Social media is an increasingly important space for community formation and interactions. Coinciding with the rise of social media has been an increasing interest in leftist ideologies once outside the mainstream. This analysis seeks to understand the social media site Reddit.com’s enabling and constraining features on the community /r/socialism. Using the communicative theory of identity and Marxist media theory not only to look at Reddit and /r/socialism’s relationship, but five key functions of a media: capital-economic, media sales and media market function, commodity circulation, domination, and the audience. Employing a mixed-methods approach enabled various data to be analyzed and relationally understood. Qualitative content analysis was used to examine user’s salient topics and their uses for the community. Survey methods were deployed to the community to gather demographic data on the /r/socialism community and user opinions on the group’s relationship with Reddit. Finally, secondary documents were analyzed to provide greater context to the other findings. Findings from the content analysis of salient subjects showed a preference for contemporary capitalist critique, socialist quotations, and class issues. However, topics impacting women and other minority groups were light to nonexistent.

  • Raising Venture Capital: the Different
    RAISING VENTURE CAPITAL: THE DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES AND OUTCOMES OF FEMALE AND MALE ENTREPRENEURS AND INVESTORS by CLAIRE KAPIOLANI SOLOMON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Business Administration and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Sciemce June 2018 An Abstract of the Thesis of Claire Kapiolani Solomon for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Business Administration to be taken June 2018 Title: Raising Venture Capital: The Different Methodologies and Outcomes of Female and Male Entrepreneurs Approved: _______________________________________ Stephen McKeon This thesis analyzes how venture capitalist funding is rationed and provides insight into why female-founded companies receive only 3% of total venture capitalist funding. In order to understand this, this thesis analyzes the relationship between venture capitalist partners and founders. Relationships are often different between investors and male entrepreneurs than between investors and female entrepreneurs. This research explains why this environment has become unsupportive of women and thus proves to be challenging for women to succeed in. The role of gender perception is also vital, and this research project will make a connection between gender biases and underfunding of women entrepreneurs. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Steve McKeon, Professor Elizabeth Raisanen, and Professor Katherine Harmon for their support and guidance through the development of my research. I would furthermore like to thank both the Robert D. Clark Honors College and the Lundquist College of Business for the incredible academic opportunities they have provided me over the last four years. Lastly, I honor my sister and mother for the passion they have embedded in me to become a leader for women in business, and to continue encouraging the success of women everywhere.

  • Should You Take Investment Advice from Wallstreetbets?
    Should You Take Investment Advice From WallStreetBets? Should You Take Investment Advice From WallStreetBets? A Data­Driven Approach May 2021 Tolga Buz Gerard de Melo Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Reddit’s WallStreetBets (WSB) community has come to prominence in light of its notable role in affecting the stock prices of what are now referred to as meme stocks. Yet very little is known about the reliability of the highly speculative investment advice disseminated on WSB. This paper analyses WSB data spanning from January 2019 to April 2021 in order to assess how successful an investment strategy relying on the community’s recommenda­ tions could have been. We detect buy and sell advice and identify the community’s most popular stocks, based on which we define a WSB portfolio. Our evaluation shows that this portfolio has grown approx. 200% over the last three years and approx. 480% over the last year, significantly outperforming the S&P500. The average short­term accuracy of buy and sell signals, in contrast, is not found to be significantly better than randomly or equally distributed buy decisions within the same time frame. However, we present a tech­ nique for estimating whether posts are proactive as opposed to reactive and show that by focusing on a subset of more promising buy signals, a trader could have made investments yielding higher returns than the broader market or the strategy of trusting all posted buy signals. Lastly, the analysis is also conducted specifically for the period before 2021 in or­ der to factor out the effects of the GameStop hype of January 2021 – the results confirm the conclusions and suggest that the 2021 hype merely amplified pre­existing characteristics.

DOI: 10.14763/ 2020.4.1516 Keywords: Reddit, Affordances, Misogyny, Manosphere, Digital platforms, Online platforms Abstract: This paper studies the efficacy of the Reddit’s quarantine, increasingly implemented in the platform as a means of restricting and reducing misogynistic and other hateful material. Using the case studies of r/TheRedPill and r/Braincels, the paper argues the quarantine successfully cordoned off affected subreddits and associated hateful material from the rest of the platform. It did not, however, reduce the levels of hateful material within the affected spaces. Instead many users reacted by leaving Reddit for less regulated spaces, with Reddit making this hateful material someone else’s problem. The paper argues therefore that the success of the quarantine as a policy response is mixed. 2 Internet Policy Review 9(4) | 2020 This paper is part of Trust in the system, a special issue of Internet Policy Review guest- edited by Péter Mezei and Andreea Verteş-Olteanu.
