Girls? much-higher rate of depression than boys is closely linked to the greater time they spend on social media, and online bullying and poor sleep are the main culprits for their low mood, new research reveals.

As many as three-quarters of 14-year-old girls who suffer from depression also have low self-esteem, are unhappy with how they look and sleep for seven hours or less each night, the study found.

?Girls, it seems, are struggling with these aspects of their lives more than boys, in some cases considerably so,? said Prof Yvonne Kelly, from University College London, who led the team behind the findings.

What's the problem with US media activism? A call for ?new media criticism?. Better late than never? Text from a donation call in the latest email newsletter of Paper Tiger in New York, a video activism group: http://papertiger.org/:

"TALKING BACK TO SOCIAL MEDIA

In the course of the last year tech companies have come under increasing public scrutiny with regard to privacy. This spring the Cambridge Analytica story broke about Facebook selling massive amounts of user data to third parties, and effectively being complicit in the manipulation of U.S. elections. Twitter came under fire for it's censorship of activist accounts linked to #OWS and #BlackLivesMatter. Most recently, Google employees walked out over the launch of Project Dragonfly in China. It is time for a new media criticism that addresses both the use and structure of these companies, and their platforms. Now, more than ever, there is a need for an organization like Paper Tiger Television.?

LIMITS 2019
Fifth Workshop on Computing within LIMITS
June 10-11, 2018
Lappeenranta, Finland
http://computingwithinlimits.org/2019/

The ACM LIMITS workshop aims to foster discussion on the impact of present
and future ecological, material, energetic, and societal limits on
computing. These topics are seldom discussed in contemporary computing
research. A key aim of the workshop is to promote innovative, concrete
research, potentially of an interdisciplinary nature, that focuses on
technologies, critiques, techniques, and contexts for computing within
fundamental economic and ecological limits. A longer-term goal is to build
a community around relevant topics and research. We hope to impact society
through the design and development of computing systems in the abundant
present for use in a future of limits. A recent article in the
Communications of the ACM provides a good primer on Computing within
Limits. This year we are co-locating with ICT4S in Europe.

Abstract submission deadline: Feb 1, 2019
Paper submission deadline: Feb 8, 2019
Paper reviews available: March 14, 2019
Camera-ready paper deadline: March 28, 2019

Subject: <unlike-us> FTC is reportedly considering a 'record-setting fine'
 against Facebook
Message-ID: <1547846015.2532820.1638339416.4D57DD1A@webmail.messagingengine.com>

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/18/ftc-is-reportedly-considering-a-record-setting-fine-against-facebook.html

>From the article:

"The Federal Trade Commission is considering imposing a "record-setting fine" against Facebook for allegedly failing to protect users' data, The Washington Post reported Friday. Three people familiar with the discussions but unauthorized to speak on the record reportedly told the Post about the fine.

Facebook's stock slid slightly after the Post's report was published, but shares remained positive for the day.

Facebook was accused of misusing personal information of its users when reports last year found political consultant agency Cambridge Analytica used personal information from millions of Facebook users without their explicit consent. Following the reports in March, the FTC launched an investigation into the company's data practices.

The fine is expected to be in excess of the $22.5 million fine the FTC imposed on Google in 2012 for allegedly violating an agreement to improve privacy practices, the Post reported. Sources told the Post Facebook has talked with FTC staffers about the investigation."

Hi Unlike Us folks!

climate change, migration and digitalization: these are the greatest
challenges in the current phase of globalization. How can we meet them?
In its 20th year, the Berliner Gazette, under the motto MORE WORLD, is
highlighting communal practices that confront these planetary
challenges. To this end, a special section in our Internet newspaper
berlinergazette.de will be open for contributions from all over the
world. Moreover, we will organize a series of events. The MORE WORLD
project will culminate in the BG annual conference, which will take
place at the Center for Arts and Urbanistics (ZK/U) on October 10-12, 2019.

Learn more about it on the project?s website
(https://more-world.berlinergazette.de) or continue reading further below.

Join BG?s 20th anniversary initiative on communal tools for planetary
challenges! #climatechange #migration #digitalization

*Introductory Essay*
The BG?s 20th anniversary project MORE WORLD invites you to explore
together with us communal tools for planetary challenges. An
introductory essay* describes the ideas of the project and presents the
questions to which we wish to invite readers to contribute. You can read

English version is made available by our international media partners:
Mediapart in France (https://bit.ly/2STl2AH), openDemocracy in England
(https://bit.ly/2TS8jyq) and transversal in Austria
(https://bit.ly/2AOz0wC). Feel free to re-publish or translate the text
(CC-BY-4.0).

*Call for Contributions*
We sense a great urgency now to make all sorts of case studies and small
and large examples accessible to ordinary people. To this end, we have
created a special section in our Internet newspaper
https://berlinergazette.de. This is an open forum to which writers,
researchers, activists, artists, journalists and all kinds of other
producers of (subjugated) knowledge are invited to contribute reports,
essays, interviews, etc. Text length: 10.000 characters. Submission
deadline: April 29, 2019. Mail us under info(at)berlinergazette.de

*Kick-off Events*
The Berliner Gazette will launch the MORE WORLD project with two events
at the beginning of 2019. On January 24th at 7 p.m. a lecture by
internationally influential sociologist and writer Avery F. Gordon at
the commons project space Supermarkt, Mehringplatz 9, 10969 Berlin. More
info here (https://bit.ly/2CoSaZQ). On February 3rd at 1 p.m. a
transmediale-panel with the humanitarian policy consultant Abiol Lual
Deng, the performance artist Alexander Karschnia and the journalist
Magdalena Taube at the House of World Cultures/Caf? Global,
John-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10, 10557 Berlin. More info here
(https://bit.ly/2MboNir).

*BG Annual Conference*
The MORE WORLD project will culminate in the BG annual conference, which
will take place at the Center for Arts and Urbanistics (ZK/U) on Oct.
10-12, 2019. Save the date! To tackle the key issues of the project, the
BG will create a three-day program, including lectures, workshops and
performances. More than 500 people in total are expected to attend the
events. The workshops ? arguably the heart of the conference ? will
bring together activists, researchers and cultural workers from more
than 20 countries. The BG will invite key actors from the international
scene to form the core of the workshops, and will issue a call for the
general public to register. You will learn about it on this site in the
spring: https://more-world.berlinergazette.de?

From: Cultures of Resistance <info at culturesofresistancefilms.com <mailto:info at culturesofresistancefilms.com>>



Dear friends,

We have an urgent situation: Facebook has deleted several thousand of my past contacts. So even if we?ve friended each other before, I may have lost contact with you! 

If you would like to connect with me, here is the new account: https://www.facebook.com/lee.iara.9 <https://culturesofresistancefilms.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f753f8d3b51539d4189d76cff&id=a20e602e4a&e=13f079764a>

I am always using social media platforms to reach out to like-minded people and spread the word about our Cultures of Resistance grantmaking work and films: documentaries profiling activists and artists who are doing amazing work for justice in the Global South!

 

However, Facebook doesn?t make it easy. The site has been known to censor critical voices--especially those who speak out for Palestinian rights. And the company is always asking us for ad money to promote posts. I am resistant to such commercialization. I much prefer person-to-person contact and reaching out directly when we do a screening in your area. So that?s what I intend to keep doing.

Figuring out how to live with integrity in the exploitative global economy is a continual challenge. Like other tech companies, Facebook is a massive corporation that pursues profit at the expense of community values. We have heard about problems ranging from its abuse of users? data <https://culturesofresistancefilms.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f753f8d3b51539d4189d76cff&id=fae5f117c1&e=13f079764a> to its nefarious political dealings <https://culturesofresistancefilms.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f753f8d3b51539d4189d76cff&id=0bdcfb266d&e=13f079764a>. But even while we work to resist such corporate policies (and while I respect those who have individually decided to pull the plug on the social media giants), there is no getting around the fact that this platform remains one of the best ways for us to link with people around the globe and share news and updates. 

I hope you will remain part of this struggle with me, and that you will reach out to connect <https://culturesofresistancefilms.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f753f8d3b51539d4189d76cff&id=22423244ad&e=13f079764a> if you are a Facebook user! I would be delighted to connect for updates!

With thanks,

Subject: <unlike-us> How Volunteers for India's Ruling Party Are Using
 WhatsApp to Fuel Fake News Ahead of Elections

>From the article:

---
Ahead of national elections in April and May, India?s political parties 
are pouring money into creating hundreds of thousands of WhatsApp group 
chats to spread political messages and memes. Prime Minister Narendra 
Modi?s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has drawn up plans to have 
three WhatsApp groups for each of India?s 927,533 polling booths, 
according to reports. With each group containing a maximum of 256 
members, that number of group chats could theoretically reach more than 
700 million people out of India?s population of 1.3 billion.

In reality, the number is likely to be smaller because many people are 
in multiple group chats, and most chats have fewer than 256 members. But 
the strategy reflects a fundamental change in Indian society: at the 
time of the last national polls in 2014, just 21% of Indians owned a 
smartphone; by 2019, that figure is thought to have nearly doubled to 
39%. And for most of them, WhatsApp is the social media app of choice ? 
by one count, more than 90% of smartphone users have it installed. In 
recognition of that shift, the BJP?s social media chief declared 2019 
the year of India?s first ?WhatsApp elections.?

But according to researchers, as well as screenshots of group chats from 
as recently as January seen by TIME, these WhatsApp group chats 
frequently contain and disseminate false information and hateful 
rhetoric, much of which comes from forwarded messages. Experts say the 
Hindu nationalist BJP is fueling this trend, although opposition parties 
are using the same tactics.

Message-ID: <e7457aada1ccec22ed78d6ca0d6c9488@xs4all.nl>

A number of organizations, including ProPublica, have developed tools to 
let the public see exactly how Facebook users are being targeted by 
advertisers.

Now, Facebook has quietly made changes to its site that stop those 
efforts.
