Antisocial Computing: Exploring Design Risks in Social Computing Systems

摘要

As we stated earlier, and must re-emphasize: We are not advocating the use of social computing for criminal, abusive, or antisocial purposes. In fact, all of us want social computing to be leveraged to achieve individual and societal good. However, this exercise does reveal interesting aspects of social computing, and through the articulated research challenges we can see some things we might not otherwise have appreciated. There are facets in all of our research challenges that are very similar to existing streams of research. Researchers are actively studying how to model individualized aspects of human personality, taste, and interaction style. There is clearly also foundational theory and practice upon which to build disinformation engineering and make disinformation propagation a reality.
