“…MMNH also points to a larger challenge: toxicity is as much a cultural problem as it is a social media problem (Vickery et al, 2018). For example, Reddit supports toxic technocultures not only because anti-feminist and racist activist communities form on the site but also through a variety of technical means including the gaming of karma and thread ordering, feed aggregation that grants visibility unevenly, and unaccountable flagging processes (Massanari, 2017).…”

Networked Responses to Networked Harassment? Creators’ Coordinated Management of “Hate Raids” on Twitch

This study investigates how social media creators navigate and respond to severe cases of ongoing, networked harassment. Drawing on 19 in-depth interviews with Twitch streamers who experienced a form of networked harassment known as “hate raids” on the platform, including three creators who built and shared tools to combat these attacks, this analysis pays particular attention to the nature and coordination of responses to networked harassment and the extent to which creators’ responses are also networked. This study’s findings suggest that, in the absence of communication and technical support from Twitch, creators started ad hoc networks for sharing technical tools, offering strategies for managing audiences during attacks, and providing emotional support for peer creators. Yet these networks of support were unevenly accessed across the streamers interviewed in this study and often existed only temporarily. This study’s findings furthermore indicate that communities on Twitch form primarily around individual streamers, which fosters supportive connections within that streamer’s audience community but limits opportunities for solidarities to form across streamers as a class of creative workers. I conclude by considering more broadly how platform infrastructures can facilitate or constrain different forms of community building among creators and their audiences.

“…It is beyond the scope of this chapter to o er detailed solutions to these challenges so we will brie y mention some possible solutions (See Vickery, et al 2018). Jacobs and Huldtgren (2018) have argued that both the problems of value con icts and uncritical acceptance of stakeholder values can be resolved by coupling value-sensitive design with a substantive rst-order ethical theory (Kantianism, utilitarianism, etc.).…”

In this chapter we identify three potentially morally problematic behaviours that are common among users of dating and hook-up apps (DHAs) and provide arguments as to why they may or may not be considered (a) in a category of their own, distinct from similar behaviours outside of DHAs; (b) caused or facilitated by affordances and business logic of DHAs; (c) as indeed morally wrong. We also consider ways in which morally problematic behaviours can be anticipated, mitigated, or even prevented by analysis of the ethical and moral dimensions of technologies and their afforded uses. Finally, we offer some possible directions for future work on these topics in particular and on the ethical consequences of DHAs in general.

Online Public Sphere and Threats of Disinformation, Extremism and Hate Speech: Reflections on Threat-Mitigation

Social media platforms have become gateways to information and news. These platforms potentially offer discursive arenas where individuals can participate in rational-critical discourses, resembling with the public sphere. Nonetheless, the threats linked with social media platforms stymie the public sphere potential of the latter. This article attempts to provide an overview of threats namely disinformation, ideological polarization and concomitant extremism and hate speech propagated through social media platforms. Drawing from multidisciplinary literature, we reflect upon solutions which include (1) strengthening of mainstream and professional journalism; (2) fact-checking; (3) platform-driven and technology-based solutions; (4) law enforcement and social media regulations; and (5) media literacy and care for truth. This article contributes to the literature on strengthening the public sphere potential of social media platforms.
