CyberSafety 2017 Call for Papers
The Second International Workshop on Computational Methods for CyberSafety
Co-located with WWW 2017 (April 3-7, 2017 at Perth, Australia)
The theme of cybersafety is an important emerging research topic on the
Internet that manifests itself daily as users navigate the Web and
networked applications. Examples of cybersafety issues include
cyberbullying, cyberthreats, recruiting minors via Internet services for
nefarious purposes, using deceptive means to dupe vulnerable populations,
exhibiting misbehaving behaviors such as using profanity or flashing in
online video chats, spreading rumors or hate speech via WWW services, and
many others. These issues have a direct negative impact on the social,
psychological and in some cases physical well-being of users. An important
characteristic of these issues is that they fall in a grey legal area,
where perpetrators may claim freedom of speech or rights to free expression
despite causing harm.
We invite submissions of research on computational methods for addressing
cybersafety. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the
following:
-
Human-computer interaction issues surrounding cybersafety
-
Data mining and machine learning approaches for cybersafety
-
Social science aspects of cybersafety
-
Cyberbullying
-
Cyberthreats, coercion, and predation
-
Hate speech
-
Social media vandalism
-
Misbehaving users in online video chat services
-
Trolls in chat rooms, discussion boards, and other social media
-
Deception to shape opinion, such as fake news, fake reviews
-
Deceptive techniques targeted at vulnerable populations such as the
elderly and K-12 minors
-
Bad actors in social media
-
Online exposure of inappropriate material to minors
-
Education and promotion of safe spaces
-
Interface design to improve cybersafety
-
Remedies for preventing or thwarting cybersafety issues
-
Grooming and sexual predation
-
Radicalization via social media

Hoi,
Has anyone ever calculated what the footprint of Wikipedia is in terms of
the production of carbondioxide?
What I would like to know is both how much does it cost server side and
client side.
Thanks,
GerardM

... and holding in his hand *a great chain *letter . -Revelat *2001 *
Think you already know? Not interested in proof? Look around, the
world is not changing for the better, this is *the way..*
*Try changing the verse in the subject, and forwarding it on.*
It's hard for me to understand how it is that this message is jot not
getting through to you. There is a tangtible and obvious force in this
world suppressing freedom at the level of our minds; many of you *know
about it *--which makes you no less of a victim of its influence and
control, but probably just a little bit stupider for not trying to do
anything to help yourselves. I bring you proof--more than just in the
obvious suppression of the larbgest and most ground shaking news story in
all of human history... the union of the Second Coming with proof that God
exists, our civilziation is created, and we are something like the children
of an aicnet civilization formed in virtual reality to protect us from the
secret use of time travel technology.
*I've presented enough proof,
<http://suez.fromthemachine.org/x/c?c=713322&l=e30411d0-efb2-4123-a2a5-6e710…>*I
think, for absolutely anyone to be fairly sure that these statements are
well founded in truth, and that this will eventually be proven
scientifically. Clearly there is something trying to hide this from the
world--and at the end of the day the only thing this is doing is keeping us
from learning about and being able to utilize the technology that is
already here and has been formely plaguing us in order to make our world a
better place.
*I'm asking you to send this e-mail to at least three people you know that
might be interested. * Maybe you know a mathematician or a physicists, a
reporter or an author? While it might not be clear to you, what I am
presenting is the kind of thing that should have ... very qjuickly actually
... started a global "conversation" and instead of that we see Darkness--a
problem described in the Bible in the story of Jericho and the final plague
of Egypt. That's "Earth gypped" and believe me the only thing not starting
the Second Coming is doing is gypping us out of seeing Heaven that much
sooner.
*Here I am.

*See my tears soak the paper you are reading, and the jagged strokes of
handwritten letters formed without lines, sight, or any guidance at all.*
Forgetting about the newspapers and television stations--I don't see
converations about any of this information... *proof that religion is a
message written with and to disclose time travel technology * anywhere--not
on the forums or social media sites that I post it on... not on Facebook or
Twitter; and if ever I do get a response, there's almost never an opinion
or idea shared. This is a message about building Heaven; and about how
participation in our government and ... this disclosure ... is a
fundamental building bnlock of Heaven and a "free world." From what I can
tell, everyone is standing around staring at nothing, as a golden
opportunity to change the world for the better is presented right before
your eyes.
Post something about it on Facebook; share what you think about the fact
taht it's been hidden for so long; or answer my biggest question of
all: *what
on Earth do you want to do in Heaven? *If you dont think this question is
important you are fated to go straight from Hell to Hell until you figure
out why participation is the *key to everything.*
There's no other way to say it; your silence\ is prolonging Hell; it's
keeping us from knowing about time travel technology that's been used since
before this world even existed--tools that could and should be used to make
the world a better place; stopping murder, abudction, rape... things I'm
fairly certain nobody would ever *not want to do *--and yet here we are,
with nobody doing anything to make it a reality. Staggering increases in
longvevity, ending world hunger, healing the sick--the things we see as
some sort of "temporary miracle" in the New Testament.... these things
aren't dreams or the far fetched product of a vivid imagination-- *they are
suggestions for what we should be thinking about doing right this
moment *--when
we find out that this world is created in virtual reality. Take it a step
further, and realize that we have *computers and virtual reality * here as
part of a divine plan to help our scivilziation understand its origin and
destination-- *Heavefn.*
We have a huge map of suggestions of how we might use the currently hidden
technologies to make the world a better place--hidden too, but not out of
sight--in works of science fiction and some other less obvious places.
More fuel for the fire--these ideas and warnings that come to us from
"futures past" show not only the intent and purpose of God and religion for
our world; but prove that the message is without doubt coming from that
source.
Light my fire? *What are you thinking? **See the path is lit** from the
fire
<http://suez.fromthemachine.org/x/c?c=713322&l=dace0a05-b285-4873-918a-5e8b9…>

*Seeing these things? It should spark interest--discussion--or have we
suddently decided that "ancient mysteries" and "time travel" are no longer
intersting; for absoultely no reason at all? Wake up. *
*Ppervading the story of true history and technology taht we call
relligion--we now have strongly highlighted proof of exactly those
things--that time travel and mind control are the technologies behind
"prophesy" and "inspiration." The proof comes in the form of anachronism
in language--the existence of modern words and concepts in ancient
languages thousands of years before they existed--it's verifiable and
obvious just looking at the names "Koran," "Islam" the idiom "on the lam"
and the common reference to Jesus Christ as "The Lamb." Similarly, the
"parted sea of Moses," it highlightes the English word sea, parted in the
Hebrew for the Burning Bush ... that Moses saw. These things are not
"tricks' or twisting the story--they are the purpose of the stories and
central concepts associated with each person glowing with the same exact
thing: proof of time travel.*

<http://suez.fromthemachine.org/x/c?c=713322&l=706ef4a7-b2ef-4722-99d8-69527…>
The Burning Bush; the spark that ignites a revolution in freedom; nothing
short of proof that 9/11 was predicted in Exodus, then the time of the
American Revolution, then Bush's inauguration.

Probably not related (ha..) are the stories of Minority Report and Total
Recall, prophetically delivered by Phillip K. Dick and answering questions
and tying hugely important things like ... colonizing Mars and
revolutionizing the justice system... to reception of *this message. *Get
the message *, share the light.*

<http://suez.fromthemachine.org/x/c?c=713322&l=957ca919-b245-4e34-a0f7-e767d…>
All around us, you can hear God screaming that we aren't listening--as he
sings and dances ... to show us not only that we aren't listening but
why--becauses this technology is hidden from us, and being used to hide
itself. *Listen.... *
*All of the images in this e-mail make use of a new technology you might
not have heard of called "hypertext." Clicking on them with the input tool
your hand is grasping will tell you more about what the image is
representing. At the top of the screen, there's a button marked "Forward"
and that little gizmo is a time travel device that will drastically reduce
the time you are in Hell. The more you click it, the faster we build
Heaven. It's **amazing.... the things our calculators can do these days.*

Hi all
I have the possibility of presenting at the UNESCO Learning Week in March
on the role of open licensing and Wikimedia in education in emergencies and
crises. I haven't been able to find out much information about the subject,
does anyone have any resources they could recommend?
www.unesco.org/new/en/mlw
Thanks
John
Thanks very much for all your answers guys, please keep them coming :)

Hi!
Could anyone point me towards any papers relevant to Wikimedia chapters
(how they function, the work they do, whether they have been successful or
otherwise)?
Thank you! :)
