*‘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)
