*‘ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA?’ THE BIG ISSUES*

Institute of Communication Ethics Annual Conference and the book launch 
of /Anti-Social Media///

26 October 2018, Frontline Club, 13 Norfolk Place, London W2 1QJ

Social media is supposed to be the big liberator and democratiser of our 
era; the platform for everyone to use-and abuse. But have we created our 
own digital monster full of ‘fake news’, bile, bullying, bots, trolling 
and more? Is ‘social media’ precisely the opposite?

This is the focus of this year’s conference which also includes the 
launch of a new book, /‘Anti-Social Media?’./

Presentations on:

·Anti-social networking? Social media and punishment attacks in 
post-conflict Northern Ireland (Faith Gordon & Paul Reilly)

·Open Discourse: a media theory for the twenty-first century (Denis Muller)

·Inspecting nonviolence in mainstream and social media. Actorness and 
efficacy (Silvia De Michelis)

·Young people’s views on the risks of social media misuse (Holly 
Powell-Jones)

·Online trolls and the freedom of speech: are the bullies taking over? 
(Claire Wolfe)

·Hostility Targeted at MPs on Twitter: Using Sentiment Analysis on Large 
Datasets of @messages (Amy Binns)

·Fighting the hand the feeds you: A quantitative study of the 
journalistic sources of the left-wing political blog The Canary (Sean 
Dodson)

·Prioritizing Profit Over Privacy: Facebook’s Research and Privacy 
Violations Leading up to Cambridge Analytica (Chloe Nurik)
