How the Other Half Workssolves the riddle of America's contemporary immigration puzzle: why an increasingly high-tech society has use for so many immigrants who lack the basic skills that today's ...economy seems to demand. In clear and engaging style, Waldinger and Lichter isolate the key factors that explain the presence of unskilled immigrants in our midst. Focusing on Los Angeles, the capital of today's immigrant America, this hard-hitting book elucidates the other side of the new economy, showing that hiring is finding not so much "one's own kind" but rather the "right kind" to fit the demeaning, but indispensable, jobs many American workers disdain.

The article examines how Italian news coverage on Facebook has influenced the debate on cancel culture, linking it to phenomena like political correctness and framing it as an assault on freedom of ...expression. By analysing posts from 2020 to 2021 on the Facebook pages of major Italian newspapers, sourced through the CrowdTangle platform, the article explores the journalistic portrayal of cancel culture. It also considers how this media depiction has fostered an atmosphere of fear in a society where anxiety and unease, intensified by media representation, lose their tangible essence yet become increasingly pervasive. The thematic analysis identified two primary dimensions within the Italian journalistic discourse: the nature of cancel culture’s targets (people/objects) and their temporal context (present/past). The results indicate that contemporary journalism constructs the notion of a “cancel culture”, associating it with topics such as censorship, potential identity erosion, and the reinterpretation or denial of cultural and historical facets. This portrayal, intensified by the media, influences public perception and gives rise to growing feelings of unease and tension, culminating in a general climate of fear.
The issue of quantifying and characterizing various forms of social media manipulation and abuse has been at the forefront of the computational social science research community for over a decade. In ...this paper, I provide a (non-comprehensive) survey of research efforts aimed at estimating the prevalence of spam and false accounts on Twitter, as well as characterizing their use, activity, and behavior. I propose a taxonomy of spam and false accounts, enumerating known techniques used to create and detect them. Then, I summarize studies estimating the prevalence of spam and false accounts on Twitter. Finally, I report on research that illustrates how spam and false accounts are used for scams and frauds, stock market manipulation, political disinformation and deception, conspiracy amplification, coordinated influence, public health misinformation campaigns, radical propaganda and recruitment, and more. I will conclude with a set of recommendations aimed at charting the path forward to combat these problems.
The present study investigates 06 YouTube triads of communications on/by Easterine Kire (the Naga-Norwegian Anglophone author) on YouTube for writing back the Naga indigenous identity. The 06 triads, ...if examined and analysed, might reveal Kire's performative roles in building trans-local bond with digital participants to shape Naga literary articulations and representations in terms of Naga indigeneity vis-a-vis to build a literary market for Naga Anglophone literature. Applying netnography, the study examines her cultural representations and individualizations as a jazz poet and an interviewee on the YouTube channels. The representations accumulate further significations as critical thinkers, publishers, bookstores, readers, and researchers respond (at various levels) to Kire within the culture groups. The study is unique as it uses netnography as a research tool to 'surface read' the significant but under-noticed interface between a Naga Anglophone novelist from a diasporic subject position, the YouTube owners, and the YouTube audience in the context of Naga indigenous cultural production and reception. Moreover, it might be used as a blueprint for researching on the most obscure under-noticed digital data on the most culturally suppressed problem areas amidst the most uncertain fieldwork plans (for example, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic).

(Surface) Lecture de l'interface entre l'auteur Naga Easterine Kire et certaines chaines YouTube : une etude netnographique La presente etude examine 06 triades YouTube de communications sur/par Easterine Kire (l'auteur anglophone naga-norvegien) sur YouTube pour reecrire l'identite indigene Naga. Les triades 06, si elles sont examinees et analysees, pourraient reveler les roles performatifs de Kire dans la construction de liens trans-locaux avec les participants numeriques pour faconner les articulations et les representations litteraires Naga en termes d'indigeneite Naga dans le but de construire un marche litteraire pour la litterature anglophone Naga. En appliquant la netnographie, l'etude examine ses representations culturelles et ses individualisations en tant que poete de jazz et interviewee sur les chaines YouTube. Les representations accumulent d'autres significations a mesure que les penseurs critiques, les editeurs, les libraires, les lecteurs et les chercheurs reagissent (a differents niveaux) a Kire au sein des groupes culturels. L'etude est unique car elle utilise la netnographie comme outil de recherche pour << lire en surface >> l'interface significative mais sousremarquee entre un romancier anglophone Naga issu d'une position de sujet diasporique, les proprietaires de YouTube et le public de YouTube dans le contexte de la culture autochtone Naga production et reception. En outre, il pourrait etre utilise comme modele de recherche sur les donnees numeriques les plus obscures et sousremarquees, sur les domaines problematiques les plus culturellement reprimes au milieu des plans de travail sur le terrain les plus incertains (par exemple, pendant et apres la pandemie de Covid-19). Mots-cles : netnographie, identite Naga, YouTube, communication, Easterine Kire

The last decade witnessed a tremendous increase in popularity and usage of social network services, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Moreover, advances in Web technologies coupled with social ...networks has enabled users to not only access, but also generate, content in many forms. The overwhelming amount of produced content and resulting network traffic gives rise to precarious scalability issues for social networks, such as handling a large number of users, infrastructure management, internal network traffic, content dissemination, and data storage. There are few surveys conducted to explore the different dimensions of social networks, such as security, privacy, and data acquisition. Most of the surveys focus on privacy or security-related issues and do not specifically address scalability challenges faced by social networks. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive study of social networks along with their significant characteristics and categorize social network architectures into three broad categories: (a) centralized, (b) decentralized, and (c) hybrid. We also highlight various scalability issues faced by social network architectures. Finally, a qualitative comparison of presented architectures is provided, which is based on various scalability metrics, such as availability, latency, interserver communication, cost of resources, and energy consumption, just to name a few.
