Charles Mok looks at the impacts of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the metaverse. He discusses both benefits and concerns, such as privacy issues with facial recognition, mounting ethical concerns with the industrialization of AI, and debates around decentralization. He also examines implications of the Ukraine conflict, including hacker activity and big tech's response, as well as what the future internet may look like in regards to issues like social credit, censorship, and online freedom.

Opening talk at Singapore Symposium on Sentiment Analysis (S3A), February 6, 2015, Singapore. http://s3a.sentic.net/#s3a2015 Abstract With the rapid rise in the popularity of social media, and near ubiquitous mobile access, the sharing of observations and opinions has become common-place. This has given us an unprecedented access to the pulse of a populace and the ability to perform analytics on social data to support a variety of socially intelligent applications -- be it for brand tracking and management, crisis coordination, organizing revolutions or promoting social development in underdeveloped and developing countries. I will review: 1) understanding and analysis of informal text, esp. microblogs (e.g., issues of cultural entity extraction and role of semantic/background knowledge enhanced techniques), and 2) how we built Twitris, a comprehensive social media analytics (social intelligence) platform. I will describe the analysis capabilities along three dimensions: spatio-temporal-thematic, people-content-network, and sentiment-emption-intent. I will couple technical insights with identification of computational techniques and real-world examples using live demos of Twitris (http://twitris2.knoesis.org).

The document discusses social media analysis and summarizes key findings from analyzing tweets related to UK politicians. It finds that abuse towards politicians on Twitter was more common in 2017 than 2015, and that a small number of prominent MPs received most abuse in 2015. While men received more abuse than women in 2015, the targets of abuse changed in the 2017 analysis.

The document discusses several real-world advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks throughout history, including the first known cyber espionage incident called "The Cuckoo's Egg" in 1986, the Stuxnet cyber weapon used against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2010, and Operation Aurora which targeted major corporations like Google and Adobe in 2009. It defines APTs as targeted, advanced, persistent attacks usually carried out by well-funded nation-state groups, and outlines the common goals, phases, actors, and challenges of attributing APTs. The document concludes by providing further resources on APT reports, frameworks, and demonstrating attack techniques using Metasploit and Armitage.

This document discusses cyber operations carried out by the Syrian government from 2011 to present to target dissidents and opposition groups. It describes campaigns including fake YouTube and Facebook sites, Skype phishing, and use of remote access trojans to deliver malware. Specific groups involved are identified as the "alosh66" gang, known for predictable domain names and using Dark Comet and BlackShades RATs, and the "dot28" gang, leveraging the IP address 216.6.0.28 as a command and control server and using Dark Comet and Xtreme RATs. Cyber operations from Ethiopia and Vietnam targeting dissidents are also briefly mentioned.

This document discusses digital activism and hacktivism. It defines digital activism as using technology over large distances to effect political or social change through grassroots campaigns. Hacktivism is separated from digital activism by involving computer crimes like unauthorized access or impairment of computer systems. Early examples of hacktivism included attacks in 1989 promoting anti-nuclear messages. Anonymous emerged in the 2000s and became politicized through protests around Scientology in 2008. Major hacktivist operations since then have included Payback targeting copyright enforcement and Darknet targeting child pornography sites. Lessons from these events have led to guidance for underground communities on operational security.

Keynote address for the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Luncheon for Legislative Information and Communications Staff and National Association of Legislative Information Technology professionals on October 10, 2012.

Trump, Brexit, Cambridge Analytica... In the last few years, we have had to confront the consequences of the use and misuse of data science algorithms in manipulating public opinion through social media. The use of private data to microtarget individuals is a daily practice (and a trillion-dollar industry), which has serious side-effects when the selling product is your political ideology. How can we cope with this new scenario?

Presentation at Concordia University October 2018 Dr Alexia Maddox, Lecturer in Communications, School of Communication and Creative Arts, Deakin University. Email: a.maddox@deakin.edu.au Keywords: Social media analysis; twitter; cryptocurrencies; social disruption; digital trace data. Abstract Cryptocurrencies represent emerging financial technologies engendered through overlapping community values of decentralised peer-to-peer exchange, encryption technologies and an overarching agenda towards the disruption of centralised banking within the fiat economy. This paper will trace the development and shifts in public discourse within social media surrounding cryptocurrencies. The last five years have seen cryptocurrencies move from technological emergence to a broadening range of applications and history potholed with disputes, divergence, hacks and scams within the community. The accompanying influence of speculation has shifted the focus from social adoption to value volatility and seen the incorporation of associated technologies within banking and other organisational processes. The emphasis within public discourse has also followed a shift from bitcoin to blockchain. The study is grounded through a Twitter analysis of cryptocurrency-related social media discourse within the Australian context. The social media analysis works with social media archives of the Australian Twittersphere captured between early 2012 to May 2017. Access to this curated archive is through TrISMA and the timeframe under analysis aligns with the most detailed available dataset. The analysis seeks to characterise the emergence of public dialogue surrounding cryptocurrency use and application over time, focusing on peak engagement events. The key concepts directing the focus and interpretation of the social media analysis include financial inclusion, socio-technical disruption and social change. The whimsical quest of the study is to learn where the digital frontier has shifted to within this community and point to possible future developments. From a community studies perspective the case study represents an initial foray into data analytics to explore whether it is possible to detect the shifting shape and form of digital community through its environmental imprint (Maddox 2016). This methodological aspect of the work speaks to an attempt to generate a data recognition practice that can be deployed to search for signatures of social disruption within digital trace data. Bio: Alexia Maddox is a digital sociologist with research interests are community studies, research methods and digital frontiers. Here recent book, Research Methods and Global Online Communities: a case study with Routledge, combines these areas and forms the basis of her study of emerging communities forming through the internet and cryptography.

The document provides an overview of cryptocurrency and its role in enabling free speech over the past 10 years. It discusses how in the early years, cryptocurrency was mainly used on darknet markets like Silk Road, but more recently it has provided an alternative payment rail for those who have been deplatformed by major corporations for their political views. The document argues that increased political polarization will likely continue this trend of cryptocurrency enabling free expression for those who have been denied other services. It maintains that until around 2017-2018, there was no real need for the average person to use cryptocurrency except in situations of capital controls or hyperinflation, but that has begun to change as more individuals and groups face censorship and denial of services from

It notes the format will be 5-minute presentations plus Q&A and discusses plans to expand the group to other cities.

This document provides an overview of internet regulation and censorship in China. It discusses how the Chinese government controls and monitors the internet through mechanisms like the Great Firewall and by requiring service providers to comply with censorship directives. It also notes that censorship aims to control media, prohibit mass organization, protect senior leaders from scrutiny, and protect domestic markets. The document then gives examples of some major Chinese internet companies and platforms and provides sources for further information.
