the rise of mis/disinformation online has turned empirical attention toward the existence and effects of false information for democracy. yet this work has tended to focus on the effects of mis/disinformation for individual misperceptions rather than interpersonal relationships. in turn, this study looks to explore the relational impact of online mis/disinformation on romantic relationships. through

from slavery to police brutality, the black struggle in the united states can be traced in the visual field. the online dissemination of disparate acts of violence against black men first widely publicized when a witness recorded the beating of rodney king on a cellphone in 1991, has evolved into a u.s. cultural phenomenon, culminating with the video of the murder of george floyd in 2020. insufficient

distrust of young individuals in traditional political institutions, coupled with many youths’ heavy use of online platforms, raises questions about the nature of their online actions in light of mainstream political practices. our study addresses this research gap by providing insights into the voices of these young individuals and their communities on tiktok, as they engage in partisan online political

research on twitter—now known as x—use by blind or visually impaired individuals for self-advocacy is limited. this study examines (1) the key topics and issues discussed by visually impaired advocates, their parents, and organizations; (2) the individuals and organizations most frequently mentioned; (3) the use of visual media in posts by these groups; (4) disability identity disclosure; and (5) the

due to the prevalence of misinformation in current media environments, there is an urgent need for effective media literacy interventions that broadly protect people from its negative effects. however, such interventions do not always have their desired impact, calling for a better understanding of the factors influencing their efficacy. therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review on 80

digital hate poses a threat to citizens, communities, and societies. despite numerous studies and reviews on the concept of digital hate, we lack a systematic view of the entire body of scholarship. the aim of this umbrella review is therefore to evaluate the scope, definitions, main findings, and identified gaps of digital hate research. an umbrella review allows one to examine, compare, and evaluate

digital media is often blamed for deepening societal divides by fostering echo-chambers that reinforce biases. however, the polarized opinions visible on the media may not necessarily indicate deeper fragmentation of hidden beliefs, which is often assumed to be driven by persuasion. instead, public opinion polarization can emerge from contextual dynamics that decouple private attitudes from expressed

major digital platforms have long resisted fact-checking their users, even as public concern about misinformation has grown. we explore how they legitimated a change in this policy during the covid-19 pandemic. using blog posts by meta, youtube and twitter, the study contributes to the body of research on content moderation by us-based platforms as they expand their policies into contested areas. based

we posit that research into misinformation interventions puts too much focus on informational outcomes (e.g. perceived accuracy of misinformation), and too little on persuasive outcomes (e.g. inferred beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors). because of the informational outcome focus, common misinformation interventions (i.e. forewarning and debunking) have not been systematically tested for

bina48 is the most ambitious manifestation of thanatechnologies, ai systems that digitally resurrect deceased individuals. online platforms harvest and assemble data, photos, and personal digital effects to reanimate the individual via ai and reap the profits that come from their ongoing interactions with living users. the profiles of deceased individuals are directly owned and mobilized by the platform

recent scholarship in critical algorithm studies has illuminated how users negotiate and resist algorithmic influence in everyday platform use, yet these perspectives remain underexplored in online consumption. bridging theoretical frameworks of consumer culture and critical algorithm studies, this study examines the complexities of algorithmic consumer culture and practices through qualitative research

networked counterpublics have emerged on social media, articulating their lived experiences and collectively countering narratives propagated by mainstream publics. however, the voices of minority publics on social media can also be sanctioned by mainstream publics and institutions. drawing upon the concept of sanctions within counterpublics literature, this study proposes a theoretically based framework

despite tiktok’s extensive popularity among children below the age of 12, there remains a significant gap in our understanding of how they use this platform for social purposes. we therefore ask how children between the ages of 8 and 12 shape their peer relations through their uses of tiktok. through longitudinal observations of children ( n = 84) in the context of afterschool care, we found that children

news aggregators inherently constitute choice architectures in which placement and presentation of news articles in the user interface affect how people perceive and engage with them. accordingly, deliberate changes of a news aggregators’ choice architecture may nudge engagement. against this background, our study aims to test the effects of 2 nudges, namely a position and an accessibility nudge, on

this article explores how large language model (llm) chatbots regulate moral values when they refuse ‘unsafe’ requests from users. it applies corpus-based discourse analysis to examine how the chatbots employ tenor resources of positioning , tuning , and orienting in the rhetoric of their refusals. this method is informed by systemic functional linguistics, in particular the discourse semantic system

popular discourse around race tends to categorize people in static ethnic and racial categories, overlooking the complexity of people with multi-ethnicities. to understand how ethnic communities resist the described practice, this article explores how hoa communities in english-speaking countries use tiktok for identity work purposes. using an inductive approach to qualitative content analysis, we

the covid-19 pandemic not only posed unprecedented threats to public health and economic stability but also triggered a crisis of information, described by the world health organization as an “infodemic.” against this backdrop, this study explores the dynamics of covid-19 misperceptions through the lens of appraisal theory and the reinforcing spirals model, examining how perceived threats and media

traditionally, research has focused on investigating short-term effects of entertainment media use. this paper, however, takes a salutogenetic perspective in exploring the potential long-term effects of entertainment use on meaning making as an adaptive coping skill. we propose three theoretical pathways explaining potential effects of hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment, as well as escapist media

the special issue on platforms, publics, and anti-publics focused on the complex intersection of platforms, including issues around their ownership, datafication, business models, and algorithms; and the emergence of publics and anti-publics online, which has been increasingly impacted by platforms infrastructures and designs. this special issue underscores the need to understand how online publics

data markets are critical sites that organize access to data products, such as datasets. this study argues that data markets increasingly operate as digital platforms for cultural production, where the logic of popularity shapes the cultural value of datasets. we conceptualize these shifts by analyzing how dataset valuation operates within cultural data markets . through statistical and forensic qualitative

using the 2022 twitter to mastodon migration as a case study, this article contributes a new understanding of social media migration (smm). it begins with a review of existing studies of smm, showing how migration is often understood as a combination of ‘push and pull factors’. we suggest a need to widen the conceptual scope for how we approach smm in ways that more directly tie such movements to specific

this article contends that the attention economy of social media reflects a shift toward soundscapes where networked sound objects – whether popular music or ambient sound, remixed speech or glitched audio – play a central role in amplifying user engagement. the analysis centers on audiovisual communities that operate as contra points to common tiktok trends, with particular attention to the alt genre

this study presents a comparative analysis of language-specific random samples of youtube videos, focusing on english, spanish, hindi, and russian. we produce a large random sample, retrieve metadata, calibrate and deploy language-detection software, and extract four high-confidence language samples. through an analysis of upload dates, popularity, duration, and category metadata, we highlight patterns

a new era of message processing research will emerge from the convergence of powerful machine learning algorithms with dynamic data from everyday devices equipped with biological sensors. our study takes critical steps into this era by integrating theory-guided artificial neural networks with eye movements to understand how people learn science concepts from dynamic multimedia. essential to our theory-guided

this article examines how finnish young people (ages 16–19) navigate digital intimacy through voice, privacy, and platform use. drawing on reflexive thematic analysis of asynchronous focus group discussions conducted on discord, the study explores how participants manage exposure and vulnerability in digital spaces through selective boundary work. voice, in particular, emerges as a key marker of intimacy

this study examines navigation tools as key mediators of spatial perception, mobility, and digital infrastructures, contributing to scholarship on mediatization, geomedia, and surveillance studies. navigation apps like google maps do not merely facilitate wayfinding; they actively shape spatial experiences, decision-making, and social interactions. using a mixed-methods approach, we combined real-time

virtual and augmented reality are, alongside ai, some of the most feted technologies of the 2020s. however, unlike ai it remains unclear whether there is a distinct political economy of vr/ar. this article argues—in a speculative mode—that there is by drawing together political economy and medium theory. i contend that the economic significance of vr/ar is an operation of real-time synchronization

digital media profoundly shape modern life, offering benefits while also prompting concerns that lead many to seek disconnection. this study investigates r/nosurf , a large online community paradoxically dedicated to digital disconnection. through computational and qualitative analysis of discussions from over 26,000 active members, we study users’ complex and often ambivalent relationships with technology

incivility in online comment sections is pervasive and has significant societal implications, including impacting mental well-being and increasing polarisation. this study investigates the relationship between speed of commenting and incivility, using a dataset of 38 million comments from the guardian online. we hypothesise that quicker responses are more likely to be uncivil and that incivility propagates

this article explores the dynamics of large-scale online attacks against feminists, with a focus on the roles of surveillance and parasitic behaviour in these practices. drawing on a broader study of online hate targeting feminists in spain, the article focuses on cases where attacks originated from profiles with substantial social media followings. the analysis builds on ethnographic fieldwork, including

scholars from various academic disciplines have discussed the growing issue of information avoidance and its adverse consequences. to bring together different perspectives, clarify this phenomenon, and explore its consequences, a scoping review was conducted. a total of 206 articles met the stipulated inclusion criteria. the review consolidated definitions of related terms and defined information avoidance

using longitudinal survey data from 366 undocumented college students, a latent profile analysis was conducted to identify groups of students according to their identity management strategies (outlined by social identity theory), as reflected in protection-oriented and strengths-based family communication. the “ high competition and creativity” profile frequently engaged in communication suggesting

the threat of climate change to nation-states like tuvalu has led to a novel attempt at digital preservation through virtual reproduction. tuvalu’s future now project aims to create a ‘digital nation’ in the metaverse. this article critically analyses this state-scale digital twinning from two theoretical lenses. first, drawing on deep ecology, it argues the virtual reproduction substitutes the intrinsic

urban digital twins (udts) represent a growing trend in urban governance, offering the promise of enhanced prediction, decision-making, and public participation. adopting a constructivist perspective toward udts, this article contributes to the emerging literature on “twinning”: the making of udts, which produces an interrelation between tangible reality and its digital representation in order to enable

this essay explores the changing form of the digital twin as a political technology in the age of deep learning and generative artificial intelligence (ai). it situates the digital twin as a distinctive contemporary form of simulation and examines how it is making up people, things, scenes and their interactions in novel ways: the drawing in of unstructured datastreams and their experimental recombining

today, few terms are more central to policy, planning, or economics than the term “resilience.” from urban planning to twining the earth systems, we have come to understand systems as constantly in a state of crisis that needs perpetual management. this article traces the rise of resilience as a dominant epistemology and practice in environmental management, logistics, demography, and energy. i will

originating in the field of manufacturing, the digital twin (dt) concept is now being applied across a range of application domains, from personal healthcare to whole earth observation. despite enthusiasm for dts, uncertainties have arisen concerning their lack of definition and technical specificity. this paper reassesses the concept with particular consideration for its application to cities in the

this article focuses on the role of computational fluid dynamics (cfds) in architectural and design software. among other uses, cfds concern the modeling and simulation of wind that this article approaches as an example of elemental media and as a computationally managed entity implemented into design of environments including different kinds of digital twin platforms. thus, the article argues that

the eu’s digital twin of the ocean (dto) is presented as a coherent, high-resolution, multi-dimensional, multi-variable and near real-time representation of the ocean that integrates new data sources with advanced modeling, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. the two-way exchange of information between marine ecosystems and the digital twin is intended to create a feedback loop

this article considers digital twins and digital twinning practices in relation to the spaces of the factory, city, and the “metaverse.” we draw on the work of urban and new media theorists to argue that digital twins are part of a long history of urban media and computation. expanding on walter benjamin’s notion of phantasmagoria, we argue that the logics of the factory inherent in early digital twins

within the context of three-dimensional simulations of urban space and their variables within, digital twin technologies (dts) are touted as making urban governance and planning effective, calculable, evidence-based while reducing costs and complexity. we conducted 3 years of in-depth fieldwork on the application of dts for urban governance in the netherlands. our empirical and critical analysis shows

this editorial investigates the epistemic and media-theoretical significance of digital twinning as a decision-making practice. digital twins purport to calculate futures based on sensor data in conjunction with generative ai, cloud computing, and internet-of-things architectures; they shape institutional decisions and are used to make such decisions accountable. to illustrate this, examples from the

algorithmic media proliferates. alongside such proliferation, the familiar doubles of pre-digital daily life – the specters, phantoms, and apparitions found in folklore, novels, film, and music – are maturing into new kinds of fluid and apparently agentic others. such others – data-driven doppelgangers, literally “double-goers” – increasingly co-constitute their primaries across space and time, entangling

nasa scientists have claimed that the rescue of the stricken apollo 13 spacecraft in 1970 created the first digital twin system. in this article, i examine nasa’s narrative, which is gathering consensus as the origin story of digital twin technologies, with two main points of focus. first, through an examination of the dynamics of control and error, i scrutinise the ways in which the nasa ethos and

social media’s transition into algorithmic content recommendations, accelerated by tiktok’s entry into the ecosystem, has reshaped platforms’ consumptive curation affordances, reducing users’ ability to curate their feeds directly. while previous research has explored user experiences with tiktok’s algorithmic recommendations, there has been limited attention to how its interface shapes these interactions

social media are key arenas for public opinion formation, but are susceptible to coordinated social media manipulation (csmm), that is, the orchestrated activity of multiple accounts to increase content visibility and deceive audiences. despite advances in detecting and characterizing csmm, the attribution problem—identifying the principals behind csmm campaigns—has received little scholarly attention

online lurking is a common behavior but defining it and understanding its motivations is complex. various definitions and measurements for online lurking have been employed but have often suggested “lurking” to be conflated with other behaviors. this study developed and tested a scale to measure consistent online lurking (cool), addressing the need for a clear conceptualization and measurement of this

social media have transformed political campaigning by enabling direct interaction between politicians and voters, becoming a key tool for shaping public opinion. moral language is pivotal in this dynamic as it captures attention in an overly information-saturated social media environment and wields significant influence over political opinions. populists thrive on social media by fostering distrust
