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-58 | January 7 – 10, 2025 | Big Island, Hawaii | https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-58/collaboration-systems-and-technologies/#adversarial-behavior-in-collaboration-and-social-media-systems-minitrack
Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2024
-----
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):

*Adversarial behaviors: Cybermobbing, cyberbullying, digital vigilantism, doxing, hacktivism, human flesh search engine, online extremism, cyberterrorism, fake news, cyber harassment, trolling, hate speech, shaming

*Adversarial strategies and tactics: Strategic information operations, information warfare, disinformation campaigns, coordinated inauthentic behavior, astroturfing, sockpuppeting

*Consequences and drivers of adversarial behaviors: Network polarization, echo-chambers, filter bubbles

*Intervention design: (Algorithmic) content moderation, censorship, deplatforming, content monitoring, policy design, platform governance, platform (self) regulation, privacy protection

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.
High quality and relevant papers from this mini-track will be selected for fast-tracked development towards Internet Research (www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/intr).
