7 Social Media Safety Tips for Kids* 7 Social Media Safety Tips for Kids* Whether they use Club Penguin or Facebook, read up on these social media safety tips for kids From Club Penguin to Facebook, the ever-increasing presence of social media in kids' lives has prompted the American Academy of Paediatrics to issue a new report aimed at moms and dads. “The digital world is an evolving landscape that parents have to learn to navigate,” says co-author Kathleen Clarke-Pearson, M.D. Social networking certainly has its advantages. It strengthens connections with friends and family and encourages participation in community service, collaboration on school projects, and communication with coaches and teammates. It can even help kids who don't quite “fit in” foster their identity and unique social skills. How does it go wrong? Impulsive kids may comment on an inappropriate post without thinking, which can snowball and become very hurtful, says Dr. Clarke-Pearson. Here, some ways to help your child use social media appropriately: 1. Immerse yourself. Know how to create a profile, “friend” your child, and be a part of his online life. He may insist that you don't embarrass him by posting comments his friends can see, but that's okay. You still get a window into his world. 2. Be a model. If you're constantly on the cell or computer, your tween will want to be, too. 3. Power down. Insist that meals be device-free and set a reasonable bedtime. 4. Chat him up. Don't rely solely on a “net nanny” software program to keep your kid from questionable sites. Talk about your and his social-media experiences. 5. Go public. Keep the computer centrally located in the family room or kitchen. 6. Be kind. Discourage meanness, gossiping, and posting anything that's untrue or potentially harmful. 7. Take action.

  • DETECTING BOTS in INTERNET CHAT by SRITI KUMAR Under The
    DETECTING BOTS IN INTERNET CHAT by SRITI KUMAR (Under the Direction of Kang Li) ABSTRACT Internet chat is a real-time communication tool that allows on-line users to communicate via text in virtual spaces, called chat rooms or channels. The abuse of Internet chat by bots also known as chat bots/chatterbots poses a serious threat to the users and quality of service. Chat bots target popular chat networks to distribute spam and malware. We first collect data from a large commercial chat network and then conduct a series of analysis. While analyzing the data, different patterns were detected which represented different bot behaviors. Based on the analysis on the dataset, we proposed a classification system with three main components (1) content- based classifiers (2) machine learning classifier (3) communicator. All three components of the system complement each other in detecting bots. Evaluation of the system has shown some measured success in detecting bots in both log-based dataset and in live chat rooms. INDEX WORDS: Yahoo!

  • Expectation of Privacy in Internet Communications
    Fourth Amendment Aspects of Internet Communications and Technology Dennis Nicewander Assistant State Attorney 17th Judicial Circuit Ft. Lauderdale, Florida The emergence of Internet technology has revolutionized the world of communication and information sharing. Unfortunately, criminals have seized this opportunity to enhance the efficiency and productivity of their criminal pursuits. The task ahead of law enforcement is daunting, to say the least. New forms of technology emerge before we are able to master the old ones. The most significant legal issue to arise in this struggle to make order out of chaos is the application of the Fourth Amendment to these emerging technologies. If our economy is going to continue to grow at the rapid pace promised by Internet technology, we must find a way to balance our citizens‟ right to privacy with the necessity of establishing law and order in this new frontier. As our culture and legal system suffer the growing pains of radical change, it is responsibility of prosecutors to work together with law enforcement to strike a balance between effective police work and privacy rights afforded by the Fourth Amendment. Understanding the role of “reasonable expectation of privacy” is critical to this role. Since most information placed on the Internet is designed for mass distribution, a reasonable expectation of privacy will not apply in the majority of cases. The purpose of this paper is to provide basic guidance and case law concerning this issue as it relates to some of the most common forms Internet technology. The topics will be divided into the following categories: General Privacy Cases Email Chatrooms Peer-to-Peer Internet Service Provider Records Websites Bulletin Boards University Usage Logs Text Messages General Privacy Cases Katz v.

FREE, HATEFUL, AND POSTED: RETHINKING FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION OF HATE SPEECH IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD Abstract: Speech is meant to be heard, and social media allows for exaggeration of that fact by providing a powerful means of dissemination of speech while also dis- torting one’s perception of the reach and acceptance of that speech. Engagement in online “hate speech” can interact with the unique characteristics of the Internet to influence users’ psychological processing in ways that promote violence and rein- force hateful sentiments. Because hate speech does not squarely fall within any of the categories excluded from First Amendment protection, the United States’ stance on hate speech is unique in that it protects it.

  • Helpful Definitions
    HELPFUL DEFINITIONS Internet – an immense, global network that connects computers via telephone lines and/or fiber networks to storehouses of electronic information. With only a computer, a modem, a telephone line and a service provider, people from all over the world can communicate and share information with little more than a few keystrokes. Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) – electronic networks of computers that are connected by a central computer setup and operated by a system administrator or operator and are distinguishable from the internet by their “dial up” accessibility. BBS users link their individual computers to the central BBS computer by a modem which allows them to post messages, read messages left by others, trade information, or hold direct conversations. Access to a BBS can, and often is, privileged and limited to those users who have access privileges granted by the systems operator. Commercial Online Service (COS) – examples of COSs are America Online, Prodigy, CompuServe and Microsoft Network, which provide access to their service for a fee. COSs generally offer limited access to the internet as part of their total service package. Internet Service Provider (ISP) – These services offer direct, full access to the internet at a flat, monthly rate and often provide electronic mail service for their customers. ISPs often provide space on their servers for their customers to maintain World Wide Web (WWW) sites. Not all ISPs are commercial enterprises. Educational, governmental and nonprofit organizations also provide internet access to their members. Public Chat Rooms – created, maintained, listed and monitored by the COS and other public domain systems such as Internet Relay Chat.

  • A Linguistic Analysis of Their Written Discourse
    Spanish politicians in Twitter : A linguistic analysis of their written discourse Ricardo Casañ Pitarch Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain) [email protected] Abstract In Spain, politics is often seen as a profession rather than a service, and thus political discourse should be considered a specialized genre subjected to specific rules and convention. In the 2010s, a new tendency to campaign in politics was the use of social networks, allowing the publication of messages in a virtual environment and the possibility of interacting with other users, Twitter being a popular network. The purpose of this research is to analyze a corpus of 630 tweets published by four Spanish political leaders in their personal Twitter accounts, and consequently to describe their communication style in this social network with the hypothesis that their political views and interests influence their messages. In order to achieve our aim, this research focused on the analysis of written text, emoji, multimedia affordances, and hashtags, and how these elements influenced the politicians’ communication style when dealing with some relevant topics at the time this study was carried out. Keywords: written discourse, Spanish politicians, social networks, Twitter, communication. Resumen Los políticos españoles en Twitter: un análisis lingüístico de su discurso escrito En España, la política suele concebirse como una profesión más que como un servicio, y, por ello, el discurso político debe interpretarse como un género especializado que está sometido a una serie de reglas y convenciones específicas. En la década de los años 2010 surgió una nueva manera de hacer campaña en política mediante el uso de las redes sociales, las cuales permitían la publicación de mensajes cortos en un entorno virtual y la posibilidad de interactuar con otros usuarios.

  • Trojans and Malware on the Internet an Update
    Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet An Update Sarah Gordon and David Chess IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center Yorktown Heights, NY Abstract This paper continues our examination of Trojan horses on the Internet; their prevalence, technical structure and impact. It explores the type and scope of threats encountered on the Internet - throughout history until today. It examines user attitudes and considers ways in which those attitudes can actively affect your organization’s vulnerability to Trojanizations of various types. It discusses the status of hostile active content on the Internet, including threats from Java and ActiveX, and re-examines the impact of these types of threats to Internet users in the real world. Observations related to the role of the antivirus industry in solving the problem are considered. Throughout the paper, technical and policy based strategies for minimizing the risk of damage from various types of Trojan horses on the Internet are presented This paper represents an update and summary of our research from Where There's Smoke There's Mirrors: The Truth About Trojan Horses on the Internet, presented at the Eighth International Virus Bulletin Conference in Munich Germany, October 1998, and Attitude Adjustment: Trojans and Malware on the Internet, presented at the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research in Aalborg, Denmark, March 1999. Significant portions of those works are included here in original form.

    International Society for the ISPA Performing Arts TODAY’S FUTURE FOR THE ARTS NEW YORK CONGRESS JANUARY 8–10, 2019 Theatre buildings by theatre people for theatre people. Clockwise from top left: Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House; The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater; Hudson Theatre, Broadway; Studio Theatre, Bristol Old Vic. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF ISPA Dear Friends, ransitions. We all think about them. Some of us worry about them. But we are all impacted by them. As much as we may try to be present each moment of our days, it is the rare person who does not ponder what comes next. Transitions can be as exhilarating as they are scary. In these times of rapid-fire change and volatility (mostly beyond our personal control), it is Teasy to default to a position of wanting to hang on to what we know. Stay the course. Be steady. Reduce risk. WELCOME Yet continuing to do the same thing that works for us today may be the very act that fails us tomorrow. Our Congress Co-chairs Collette Brennan and Steinunn Ragnarsdóttir have given us a brilliantly provocative theme to consider with an array of thought-leaders from within our field and beyond offering varied perspectives on how we might navigate the inevitability of the transitions we encounter. For me, transitions is a particularly apt theme as I prepare to pass on the chairmanship of ISPA to our colleague Tisa Ho. As an ISPA member for 20 years and board member for most of that time, I have been fortunate to work with so many gifted members who have given selflessly in leading ISPA through incredible Transitions.

  • Public Poll Findings and Methodology
    PUBLIC POLL FINDINGS AND METHODOLOGY Misinformation around U.S. Capitol unrest, election spreading among Americans New Ipsos poll shows Capitol rioters viewed as “criminals,” “right-wing terrorists,” but views divided sharply along partisan lines Topline Findings Washington, DC, January 19, 2021 – In the wake of the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol, Ipsos took another look at beliefs toward misinformation and election-related conspiracy theories. There is over a 60-point gap between Democrats and Republicans regarding whether Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, a sign of how politically divided this country is, and what facts we are willing to accept. Following the attack last week, most Americans see the people who entered the Capitol as criminals or right-wing domestic terrorists and, as a result, support the suspension of the president’s social media accounts. Detailed Findings 1. Most of the American public views the people who entered the Capitol as criminals or right-wing domestic terrorists. A plurality support social media outlets removing President Trump and QAnon accounts as a result of the event. • Nearly one in three (31%) say they are criminals, and 26% say they are right-wing terrorists. • Just four percent believe they are patriots who were fighting to preserve our freedoms. • News consumption plays a role in views of the events, as does partisanship. • For example, one in four who get their news from FOX or conservative online outlets believe they were left-wing terrorists or Antifa, compared to just 7% of CNN or MSNBC viewers. Forty-five percent of Democrats see these people as right-wing domestic terrorists, while 10% of Republicans feel the same.
