This book discusses the international legal issues underlying Internet Governance and proposes an international solution to its problems. The book encompasses a wide spectrum of current debate ...surrounding the governance of the internet and focuses on the areas and issues which urgently require attention from the international community in order to sustain the proper functioning of the global network that forms the foundation of our information fuelled society. Among the topics discussed are international copyright protection, state responsibility for cyber-attacks (cyberterrorism), and international on-line privacy protection.
Taking a comparative approach by examining how different jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, China and Singapore have attempted various solutions to the problem of Internet Governance, the author offers a practical solution to the problem and is a proponent of International Internet Law. Kulesza suggests that just as in the case of International Environmental Law, an Internet Framework Convention could shape the starting point for international cooperation and lead to a clear, contractual division of state jurisdictional competences.
International Internet Law is of particular interest to legal scholars engaged with the current challenges in international law and international relations, as well as students of law, international relations and political science. The issues discussed in the book are also relevant to journalists and other media professionals, facing the challenges of analyzing current international developments in cyberspace.
Aims: The present theoretical paper introduces the smartphone technology as a challenge for diagnostics in the study of Internet use disorders and reflects on the term “smartphone addiction.” ...Methods: Such a reflection is carried out against the background of a literature review and the inclusion of Gaming Disorder in ICD-11. Results: We believe that it is necessary to divide research on Internet use disorder (IUD) into a mobile and non-mobile IUD branch. This is important because certain applications such as the messenger application WhatsApp have originally been developed for smartphones and enfold their power and attractiveness mainly on mobile devices. Discussion and conclusions: Going beyond the argumentation for distinguishing between mobile and non-mobile IUD, it is of high relevance for scientists to better describe and understand what persons are actually (over-)using. This is stressed by a number of examples, explicitly targeting not only the diverse contents used in the online world, but also the exact behavior on each platform. Among others, it matters if a person is more of an active producer of content or passive consumer of social media.
La ciberviolencia se caracteriza, en primer lugar, por la posibilidad de acontecer en cualquier momento y espacio, los siete días de la semana y las 24 horas, beneficiándose de la movilidad y ...conectividad de las TIC, que proveen el almacenaje y distribución a una potencial mayor audiencia; suele presentarse entre compañeros, conocidos offline y online, amigos o examigos, exparejas, y en ocasiones entre desconocidos, quienes cuentan con información "lucrativa" que esgrimirán a la hora de ciberacosar (Velázquez-Reyes, 2020a y 2020b) frecuentemente. (2010: 33) lo han equiparado con el "viejo oeste" colmado de emociones y aventuras sin igual, pero potencialmente hostil, perturbador y atestado de peligros, y a menudo de "bandidos" de ambos sexos, con pocas o nulas reglas sociales establecidas y donde pareciera que todo se vale, que cualquiera que posea un dispositivo digital conectado a internet "puede ser agente 007 con licencia para matar o sin ella" (Bauman, 2012: 178); empero, con letalidad similar a la hora provocar un daño intencional a través de una pantalla a chicos y chicas sorprendidos que cuentan con escasas posibilidades de defenderse y, por supuesto, sean víctimas o ciberaudiencia, padecerán por igual las secuelas de la imposición de la ley que rige en la jungla cibernética, "del que puede y quiere". Se puede considerar, no sin reserva, que la duración del uso de internet es directamente proporcional al riesgo de victimización y ciberagresión; la residencia online facilita involucrarse como perpetrador o en represalia (Jiameng, Aissata, Xiaoyun y Hesketh, 2019), es decir, a mayor tiempo de uso de Internet mayor riesgo de ser parte de ciberacoso (Tokunaga, 2010; Garaigordobil, 2011; Arnaiz, Cerezo, Giménez y Maquilón, 2016). Los chicos, particularmente, ciberagreden a la población LGTBTT (Donoso, Rubio y Vila, 2017), si bien se ha registrado una relación positiva entre la participación en la intimidación tradicional y la participación en la intimidación cibernética (Páez, 2018; Slonje, Smith & Frisén, 2013; Waasdorp & Bradshaw, 2015), de tal manera que los conflictos suscitados en la vida offline, persisten y se arrastran a las pantallas.

Growing dependence on cyberspace for commerce, communication, governance, and military operations has left society vulnerable to a multitude of security threats. Mitigating the inherent risks ...associated with the use of cyberspace poses a series of thorny public policy problems. In this volume, academics, practitioners from both private sector and government, along with former service members come together to highlight sixteen of the most pressing contemporary challenges in cybersecurity, and to offer recommendations for the future. As internet connectivity continues to spread, this book will offer readers greater awareness of the threats of tomorrow—and serve to inform public debate into the next information age. Contributions by Adrienne Allen, Aaron Brantly, Lauren Boas Hayes, Jane Chong, Joshua Corman, Honorable Richard J. Danzig, Kat Dransfield, Ryan Ellis, Mailyn Fidler, Allan Friedman, Taylor Grossman, Richard M. Harrison, Trey Herr, Drew Herrick, Jonah F. Hill, Robert M. Lee, Herbert S.

Invisible Search and Online Search Engines considers the use of search engines in contemporary everyday life and the challenges this poses for media and information literacy. Looking for mediated ...information is mostly done online and arbitrated by the various tools and devices that people carry with them on a daily basis. Because of this, search engines have a significant impact on the structure of our lives, and personal and public memories. Haider and Sundin consider what this means for society, whilst also uniting research on information retrieval with research on how people actually look for and encounter information. Search engines are now one of society’s key infrastructures for knowing and becoming informed. While their use is dispersed across myriads of social practices, where they have acquired close to naturalised positions, they are commercially and technically centralised. Arguing that search, searching, and search engines have become so widely used that we have stopped noticing them, Haider and Sundin consider what it means to be so reliant on this all-encompassing and increasingly invisible information infrastructure. Invisible Search and Online Search Engines is the first book to approach search and search engines from a perspective that combines insights from the technical expertise of information science research with a social science and humanities approach. As such, the book should be essential reading for academics, researchers, and students working on and studying information science, library and information science (LIS), media studies, journalism, digital cultures, and educational sciences.
A partir análise de dados consolidados como: Índice de Digitalidade da Economia e da Sociedade da Comissão Europeia, Instituto Nacional de Estatística, Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil, Digital ...In, Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, Fundação Getúlio Vargas entre outras fontes, este artigo tem por objetivo contribuir para o debate académico, procurando traçar uma correlação no padrão adotado nas políticas públicas eletrónicas aplicadas à realidade brasileira e portuguesa. Partindo do aspecto de como estes governos estão pensando o uso da internet e sua relação com as restrições de interatividade digital cidadã no sentindo de compreender como veem formando um pensamento em relação ao uso da internet por esses governos, e sua aderência ao conceito de Nova Gestão Pública (NGP).
En este sentido, el propósito de nuestra reflexión es mostrar en un componente narrativo, las palabras de las víctimas, la angustia, el miedo y la desesperación; invitamos al lector a conocer los ...testimonios detrás de algunas campañas de desprestigio, con el propósito de resignificar la información que se comparte en redes sociales y proponer estos testimonios como un material de análisis que nos permita conocer los efectos de esta práctica de violencia en el espacio virtual. Las redes sociales más utilizadas en nuestro país son, de acuerdo con el portal branch.com.co que recopila a través de sus encuestas de marketing digital y comportamiento digital de los usuarios de internet (Ilustración 2): YouTube, Facebook, Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Skype, Twitch, Tumblr, We CHAT y Telegram. De acuerdo con la encuesta que realiza la empresa Branch, y basados en los datos del Digital 2021 Global Overview Report publicado por We Are Social y Hootsuite (Adame, 2019), los usuarios de redes sociales entre 16 y 64 años de edad, comparten ciertos comportamientos: 1. De acuerdo con Vosoughi, Roy y Aral (citados en TedxLaguna Setúbal, 2019), las noticias falsas tienen 70% mayor probabilidad de ser difundidas y tener mayor impacto que las reales, esto, por contener dos características esenciales: la novedad y la sorpresa (The spread of true and false news online).
•Internet addiction research is suffering from a lack of progress and clear results.•Paper suggests investigating motivations in conjunction with psychosocial problems.•Paper presents a theory of ...compensatory internet use to further theoretical development.
Internet addiction is a rapidly growing field of research, receiving attention from researchers, journalists and policy makers. Despite much empirical data being collected and analyzed clear results and conclusions are surprisingly absent. This paper argues that conceptual issues and methodological shortcomings surrounding internet addiction research have made theoretical development difficult. An alternative model termed compensatory internet use is presented in an attempt to properly theorize the frequent assumption that people go online to escape real life issues or alleviate dysphoric moods and that this sometimes leads to negative outcomes. An empirical approach to studying compensatory internet use is suggested by combining the psychological literature on internet addiction with research on motivations for internet use. The theoretical argument is that by understanding how motivations mediate the relationship between psychosocial well-being and internet addiction, we can draw conclusions about how online activities may compensate for psychosocial problems. This could help explain why some people keep spending so much time online despite experiencing negative outcomes. There is also a methodological argument suggesting that in order to accomplish this, research needs to move away from a focus on direct effects models and consider mediation and interaction effects between psychosocial well-being and motivations in the context of internet addiction. This is key to further exploring the notion of internet use as a coping strategy; a proposition often mentioned but rarely investigated.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Internet addiction (I.A.) among students and its association with emotional problems. A total of 2,214 students (M = 21.9; SD = 1.86) ...from all Brazilian regions responded to an online questionnaire and were classified according to the IAT instrument score in NRU= No-risk Users, LRU= Low-risk Users, and RHU= Risk and High-risk Users. DASS-21 measured emotional problems, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was observed that 12.5% were classified as URAR and presented higher levels of depression (p< 0.001), anxiety (p< 0.001), and stress (p< 0.001). The main predictors for I.A. were depression (aOR = 3.2), anxiety (aOR = 2.5), and stress (aOR = 2.6). These results confirm an association between DI and emotional problems, as indicated in the literature.
