Investigations of Interests that are Induced by Remarkers and their Remarks for Item Advertisements Based on Influencer\u27s Recommendation

In order to sell items of a genre that each user is not interested in, their latent interests of the genre have to be induced. Therefore, we focus on "Influencer," who is the person that has a large impact on a user\u27s behaviors, and research a recommender system which advertises some items by utilizing influencer\u27s remarks via social media. This paper investigates what kinds of remarks and remarkers would induce users\u27interests. As the result, we have revealed many findings. One is that "One of the factors that would induce the users\u27 positive interests on the movie, is the positive reputation for the movie that is included in tweets." The other is that "If the user does not like the remarker, the user\u27s negative interests for the items in the remarks of the person would be induced, even though the person has famousness."INSPEC Accession Number: 1867430

Teens, Social Media, and Privacy

Teens share a wide range of information about themselves on social media sites; indeed the sites themselves are designed to encourage the sharing of information and the expansion of networks. However, few teens embrace a fully public approach to social media. Instead, they take an array of steps to restrict and prune their profiles, and their patterns of reputation management on social media vary greatly according to their gender and network size

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Material-Connection Disclosures: Endorsers, Instagram, and the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides

With the spread of social-media advertising, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has made many attempts to regulate the burgeoning field. However, the complexity of social media makes it difficult to regulate without violating the First Amendment. This difficulty is especially true for Instagram, a social-media platform where pictures—a form of speech protected by the First Amendment—are the primary focal point. This Note argues that the FTC’s material-connection disclosure requirement potentially violates the First Amendment as it applies to Instagram advertisements. Instead of focusing on audience perception when determining whether an endorser must include a material-connection disclosure, the FTC should instead consider the poster’s intent in sharing an Instagram post to prevent any chilling of speech or violations of posters’ First Amendment rights

Teens, social media, and privacy

This report finds that teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than they have in the past, but they are also taking a variety of technical and non-technical steps to manage the privacy of that information. Despite taking these privacy-protective actions, teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-parties (such as businesses or advertisers) accessing their data; just 9% say they are “very” concerned. Key findings include: Teens are sharing more information about themselves on their social media profiles than they did when we last surveyed in 2006: 91% post a photo of themselves, up from 79% in 2006. 71% post their school name, up from 49%. 71% post the city or town where they live, up from 61%. 53% post their email address, up from 29%. 20% post their cell phone number, up from 2%. 60% of teen Facebook users set their Facebook profiles to private (friends only), and most report high levels of confidence in their ability to manage their settings. 56% of teen Facebook users say it’s “not difficult at all” to manage the privacy controls on their Facebook profile. 33% Facebook-using teens say it’s “not too difficult.” 8% of teen Facebook users say that managing their privacy controls is “somewhat difficult,” while less than 1% describe the process as “very difficult.” Authored by Mary Madden, Amanda Lenhart, Sandra Cortesi, Urs Gasser, Maeve Duggan, and Aaron Smith
