The article examines some problems in the management of social processes, social adaptation and determination in solving a number of urgent tasks of the current state information policy of Russia. The main attention is paid to the analysis of the existing dependence of the Russian information society on foreign information resources and technologies, which qualitatively affect the state of information interests and information security of an individual, social groups and society as a whole. The author emphasizes the complexity and, at the same time, the need to update the management of the processes of social determination in the aspect of the proposed article. The emphasis is on the need to expand the segment of domestic digital resources, not only due to the qualitative improvement of content, but also quantitative superiority. The question of personality transformation is touched upon, the process goes into the sphere of technogenicity. The variety of platforms and resources ultimately leads to confusion, misunderstanding of who can be trusted, and in most cases the content is either very recreational in nature or does not meet basic quality requirements. This is why legislative regulation of the segment is necessary, especially in the area of content control. Also, the motivation of creators is equally important in this field. Digitalization is not only an important element in increasing the efficiency of the modern economy, but also a promising tool for public administration.

Mobile short-form video entertainment enables mainstream public sites to expedite the dissemination of essential information, increase transparency, and maintain trust among decision-making bodies. In view of these benefits, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of citizen engagement with short-form videos using social media almetrics. The purpose of this study is to delineate the driving factors and moderating effects of large-scale interactive participation in TikTok's public accounts committed to sustainable poverty alleviation, a grand challenge that spreads quickly on the official agenda. Specifically, this study estimates negative binomial models based on the complete set of videos, released between 2018 August (the earliest date available) and September 2021, in poverty-striken provinces. The results show that appropriate combinations of common themes, music genres, and sentiment values can strengthen the involvement and awareness of short-form video entertainment. It serves as convincing proof that 1) content related to human resource development and public policies stimulated the highest level of citizen engagement, and it exceeded all other categories by a large margin; 2) the moderating roles of sentiment values could be partially confirmed across the common themes and music genres; and 3) while being moderated, popular and epic music could either arise or weaken citizen engagement under the topical series, but the benefits of containing these genres were not limited to performance.

“…The tool is unique in its ability to automatically extract extensive data from public Facebook pages, including the original timestamp in which the post appeared, the accompanying text, the type of media used and the engagement rates of each post. The engagement levels are measured as the total number of likes, comments and shares (Rieder, 2013; Steinfeld and Lev-On, 2019; Yavetz and Aharony, 2021). The data for each page were exported into identical table templates in a fixed configuration as CSV files, with each sheet in the file representing the different Facebook entity of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Prime Minister's Office.…”

PurposeSocial media has been widely adopted by politicians and political parties during elections and routine times and has been discussed before. However, research in the field has so far not addressed how a political leader's private or official social media account affects their message, language and style. The current study examined how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu uses his private Facebook account, compared to his use of his official Facebook page “Prime Minister of Israel.”Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the author identified the differences between these two digital entities using in-depth content analysis based on all posts (N = 1,484) published on the two pages over a 12-month period between 2018 and 2019.FindingsThe study’s findings indicate that Netanyahu regularly uses his personal page to address topics that are not represented on his official page, such as mentioning and attacking political rivals, presenting political agenda, and criticizing Israeli journalists and media organizations. Netanyahu's private Facebook account is also used to comment on personal events such as the criminal indictments he is facing and family affairs.Originality/valueThe findings highlight the need to investigate the different identities that politicians maintain on social media when they use personal or official accounts, sometimes on the same platform. The medium matters, yet the author also discovered that a leader's choice of account and its title are also important.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-01-2021-0004.
