[Marten Risius]

We cordially invite you to consider this HICSS mini-track to submit your work on pressing concerns regarding the adversarial behavior in collaboration and social media systems.

Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies | Mini-Track: Adversarial Behavior in Collaboration and Social Media Systems
HICSS-56 | January 3 – 6, 2023 | Maui, Hawaii | https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/collaboration-systems-and-technologies/#adversarial-behavior-in-collaboration-and-social-media-systems-minitrack<https://ecis2022.eu/tracks-description/>
Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2022

Researchers are invited to adopt a pessimistic perspective (i.e., the extent to which collaboration and social media systems cause or prolong problems) or an optimistic view (i.e., ways to prevent and mitigate these problems) when addressing coordinated adversarial behaviors in collaboration and social media systems. We also welcome papers examining the synergies of collaboration and social media systems and exploring the potential, social and other impacts of integrated systems.  The minitrack intends to inform the respective decision making of regulators and tech companies from an Information Systems standpoint.

Examples of possible topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
*Cybermobbing, cyberbullying, cyberharassment, online disinhibition, hate speech, trolling, deceptive communication
*Digital vigilantism, shaming, doxing, hacktivism, human flesh search engine
*Violent online extremism and cyberterrorism
*Fake news, deception, participatory or bot-driven disinformation campaigns
*Coordinated inauthentic behavior, astroturfing, sockpuppeting
*Network polarization, echo-chambers, filter bubbles
*Prevention and intervention mechanisms, balancing the protection of civil liberties and national security, censorship, deplatforming, content monitoring
*Policy, governance, and platform (self) regulation
*Privacy protection and violations, dark pattern design

This mini-track is open to all types of research, conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical. We invite both full research and research-in-progress papers.
