“…In the process of questionnaire collection, we first used one screening item to choose relevant persons, and then we removed the invalid questionnaires according to several standards (GWI, 2020). In the post-test, we used the no response bias test, common method bias test, reliability, and validity test to ensure data quality (Liu et al ., 2019b).…”

“…SNSs diversify social interactions and superpose social circles; this makes it difficult for users to maintain a consistent ideal image, thus generating role conflict (Liu et al , 2019a). Therefore, to avoid social anxiety caused by self-discrepancy, users disclosing personal information on social networks become more concerned with friends from different social circles who observe their behavior (Besmer et al , 2010); this eventually motivates privacy protection behaviors (Liu et al , 2019b).…”

PurposeUsing WeChat moments as an example, this article explores the impact of user role conflict on privacy concerns, social media fatigue and the three dimensions of discontinuous usage intention: control activities, short breaks and suspend usage intentions. Moreover, the moderating function of self-esteem in this process is examined.Design/methodology/approachThe conceptual model includes role conflict, privacy concerns, social media fatigue, discontinuous usage intention and self-esteem. Three hundred and thirty-one questionnaires were collected using an online survey, and the data were analyzed with structural equation and hierarchical regression modeling.FindingsThe results show that (1) role conflict positively affects privacy concerns and social media fatigue; (2) privacy concerns also positively affect social media fatigue; (3) privacy concerns positively affect control activities intentions, although their impact on short breaks and suspend usage intentions is not significant, whereas social media fatigue significantly influences control activities, short breaks and suspend usage intentions; and (4) self-esteem negatively moderates the influence of role conflict on privacy concerns.Research limitations/implicationsA key limitation of this research is that it is designed for WeChat. Therefore, the question of whether other social media platforms face role conflict or discontinuous usage problems should be explored in the future.Originality/valueThe article is interesting in that it focuses on the discontinuous usage of social media and identifies factors that contribute to the discontinuous usage of social media. The findings make some theoretical contributions to, and have practical implications for, research into social media usage.

“…While passive users usually show lower levels of user participation, lurkers are related to nonparticipation and non-posting behaviors. Liu et al mentioned some conceptual overlap between lurking and passive use of SNS, that is, the non-publishing behavior on SNS, which leads to lurker related research mainly focused on motivation [11]. "Lurker" is often used to describe someone who observes what is going on and remains silent but does not participate and is thus associated with observation, silence, inactivity/passivity, invisibility, or bystander behavior [22].…”

“…They do not pay much attention to perfecting their personally identifiable information because it is not important when compared to content. Due to time and recognition limitations, increased role conflicts or role overloads can prevent users in the online community from responding to them effectively [11]. However, this is not the case with "online parasites."…”

“…Users who produce little or no content and perform other activities (e.g., reading) quietly are called "lurkers" and their behavior is called "lurking" [8,9]. As the phenomenon of users lurking on the internet has become universal, research has been conducted regarding personal characteristics [10], information privacy [9], role perspective [11], transactional distance, and interaction types [12]. A study on social media established that the lurking degree of lurkers in the network is different [8].…”

With the development of digital technology, the internet environment has dramatically changed the way people share information, which has been changed by different types of sources, making it convenient to obtain information. The lurking phenomenon in the network is becoming increasingly common, and previous studies have been conducted on lurkers on the internet with shifting focus from active users to passive users. Under these circumstances, this tries to conceptualize a new type of passive users, titled as "online parasites" who focus on obtaining information by utilizing the internet or their host to achieve their other purposes. The aim is to deeply understand these users and clearly distinguish them from other types of users such as lurkers.

The rapid development of the social network has brought great convenience to people's lives. A large amount of cross-media big data, such as text, image, and video data, has been accumulated. A cross-media search can facilitate a quick query of information so that users can obtain helpful content for social networks. However, cross-media data suffer from semantic gaps and sparsity in social networks, which bring challenges to cross-media searches. To alleviate the semantic gaps and sparsity, we propose a crossmedia search method based on complementary attention and generative adversarial networks (CAGS).To obtain high-quality feature representations, we build a complementary attention mechanism containing the focused and unfocused features of images to realize the consistent association of cross-media data in social networks. By designing the cross-media
