ABSTRACT You Should Have Expected Us – An Explanation of Anonymous Alex Gray Director: Linda Adams; PhD Anonymous is a decentralized activist collective that has evolved using the technology of the information age. This paper traces its origins as a way of contextualizing and better understanding its actions. The groups composition is examined using its self‐ascribed imagery to illustrate its’ unique culture and relational norms. Its structure and motivation are analyzed using the framework developed for social movements and terrorist networks. Finally a discussion of a splinter cell and official reaction delineate both strengths and weaknesses of the movement while suggesting its future development. The conclusion serves to expound on the ideal end for the online anonymous community as a new frontier in meritocratic activism.

CHAPTER THREE Which way to the #press channel? DDoS as media manipulation The direct action DDoS provides participants with the theoretical structure and the tactical pathways to directly interact with systems of oppression. But, though disruption may be an effect of a DDoS action, the disruption itself is not always the greater goal of activists. Often, the disruption caused by the DDoS action is used as a tool to direct and manipulate media attention to issues the activists care about. We saw a related example of this in the Lufthansa/Deportation Class Action covered in the last chapter. The challenge for these types of actions, as with public, performative activism on the street, is getting the media to cover the issues that are driving the activist actions, and not merely the spectacle of the activism itself. In a campaign that primarily seeks to achieve change through the medium of popular attention, activists must enter into an often uneasy symbiotic relationship with the mass media industry. News coverage of an action may result in further coverage of an organization and a cause, which may, in turn, inform a public outcry or directly influence decision makers to initiate desired change.

This has prompted new disciplinary encounters, as scholars working on social movements and collective action have begun to focus much more on the significance of communication processes. Within dominant approaches to social movement studies this represents a significant shift, to that the extent that the study of social movements has historically not attached a great significance to communication processes, which have been essentially understood within a ‘broadcasting’ paradigm, where collective actors ‘display’ their ‘worthiness, unity, numbers and commitment’ (Guini, McAdam & Tilly, 1999), principally by ‘occupy[ing] public space… to disrupt routines and gain media attention’ (Tilly & Tarrow, 2005 p. 20). This approach to social mobilization underlined the critical importance of ‘the shared definition of a group’ (Taylor & Whittier, 1992, p.

The Megan Meier Myspace Suicide: a Case Study Exploring the Social
The Megan Meier MySpace Suicide: A case study exploring the social aspects of convergent media, citizen journalism, and online anonymity and credibility By: Jacqueline Vickery M.A. student, University of Texas at Austin, Dept. of Radio-TV-Film In his book, Convergence Culture, Henry Jenkins explores the changing relationship between media audiences, producers, and content, in what he refers to as convergence media. These changes are not only evidenced by changes in technology, but rather involve social changes as well. As historian Lisa Gitelman says, a medium is not merely a communication technology, but also a set of cultural and social practices enabled by the medium. The internet, as a medium, challenges traditional top-down approaches to traditional news gathering and reporting by affording opportunities for “average citizens” to participate in the journalistic process. Anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection can, in theory, participate in the journalistic process by gathering information, offering an alternative opinion, and engaging in dialog via message boards and blogs. However, a social concept entwined within this practice is the formation of disembodied communities and identities, in which participants can opt to remain anonymous. Such anonymity brings to the surface new questions of credibility, questions which seem to have few, if any, definitive answers as of yet. I will be examining the Megan Meier MySpace “hoax”1 as it has been dubbed by the media, as evidence of convergence media, and as an entry point into the unintended consequences of citizen journalism and online anonymity. As I write this, many questions and allegations are still circulating in regards to exactly what events transpired the month leading up to Megan’s suicide, who was involved, and what the legal repercussions (if 1 I am reluctant to use the word “hoax” to describe an event that resulted in the death of a 13 year-old girl, but since that is how the media most often refers to it, I will stick to that language.

Life-Cycle of Internet Trolls
Terho Jussinoja LIFE-CYCLE OF INTERNET TROLLS UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ FACULTY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 2018 ABSTRACT Jussinoja, Terho Life-cycle of Internet Trolls Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2018, 107 p. Information Systems, Master’s Thesis This paper is a master’s thesis about internet trolls and trolling with the main goal of finding what is the life-cycle of internet trolls. In other words, how a person becomes a troll, how their trolling evolves, and how does trolling stop. Trolling definitions are also examined to see whether they are adequate. This thesis also covers the current state of research done on trolling, with the empha- sis on literature that is relevant to the life-cycle of a troll. The literature will also be evaluated against the results from this study. Past research on trolling is quite scarce when comparing to the multiple topics it holds, suggesting that the scientific understanding of internet trolls is still less than ideal. Most of the pre- vious studies have not been able to utilize trolls’ views, whereas this study only uses commentary from trolls. This study was conducted using a qualitative re- search method, thematic analysis, and used three different methods for data collection. Trolling has become more commonplace in recent years and it has been claimed to be a formidable problem for civil discourse on the internet and there- fore deserves better insight on the matter. Media accounts, literature, and public opinions rarely match when it comes to trolling. This shows that there is plenty of confusion and misunderstandings on the topic. By discovering the reasons why an individual decides to troll, and how they decide to stop, there can be better technological solutions developed that might discourage people to start trolling or encourage them to stop.

The Force of Digital Aesthetics Olga Goriunova
The Force of Digital Aesthetics On Memes, Hacking, and Individuation Olga Goriunova abstract The paper explores memes, digital artefacts that acquire a viral character and become globally popular, as an aesthetic trend that not only entices but propels and molds subjective, collective and political becoming. Following both Simondon and Bakhtin, memes are first considered as aes- thetic objects that mediate individuation. Here, resonance between psychic, collective and technical individuation is established and re-enacted through the aesthetic consummation of self, the collective and the technical in the various performances of meme cultures. Secondly, if memes are followed in the making, from birth to their spill-over onto wider social networks, the very expressive form of meme turns out to be borne by specific technical architec- ture and mannerisms of a small number of platforms, and, most notably, the image board 4chan. The source of memes’ various forms of power is concen- trated here. Memes are intimately linked to 4chan’s /b/ board, the birthplace of Lulzsec and the Anonymous hacking networks. Memes’ architectonics, as an inheritance of a few specific human-technical structures, in turn informs the production of new platforms (memes generators), forms of networked expressions, and aesthetic work in the life cycles of mediation. keywords Bakhtin, Simondon, Guattari, memes, digital aesthetics, hacker, Lulzsec, Anonymous, individuation, subjectivity, viral video, social network Introduction Aesthetic morphogenesis has been entrenched
