'''digital migration is bad for communities'''<br />
: disagree: the world is moving. we should just go with it.<br />
: we shouldn't stay in the dark.<br />
: people should only move on if they want to.<br />
: they'll be more connected. it's accessible even to grandma in rural areas. gives success to everyone.<br />
: economic prospect - we will be paying. <br />
<br />
'''your online identity should be as anonymous as possible'''<br />
: agree: should be anonymous for safety purposes. you never know. there are bad people.<br />
: don't know why a social platform should have anonymity<br />
: your name, DOB, email means 3rd party sites already have a profile which they can create a marketing platform off of. targeted interferes with privacy<br />
: what has anonymity done to us? we want to be able to crack down on the people who are dangerous!<br />
: no reason for anyone to have my business.<br />
<br />
'''should countries be allowed to create nuclear weapons?'''<br />
: recycling plant in Mombasa. whole community just disappearing. nothing is happening. But if we make these weapons, how will we contain that?<br />
: there are enemies. Like al Shabab.<br />
:: but al Shabab isn't Somali. We don't know where to drop it!<br />
: Kenya needs to be a superpower<br />
<br />
==Everything on the wall==<br />
<br />
==Safe Space==<br />
My real name, school, old friends - it's safe because people know who they're talking to.<br />
<br />
Safe space as a WhatsApp channel which is closed. Don't know everyone, but know what's happening.<br />
<br />
Creating tools, self expression. Talking about controversial issues. Speak to people you already know. Have so as many pseudonyms as possible - one for mfailiy, one for political, etc. That helps with safety so you don't rub shoulders in a bad ways.<br />
: but if you're anonymous, how do people find you?<br />
:: if your content is good, people will follow.<br />
<br />
How safe is a safe space?<br />
: woman posted something online, got sacked because her manager saw it.<br />
<br />
Media comments - if you make a comment, 200 people descend on you. <br />
<br />
Pseudonyms can help create that safe space. If you know me as someone kind, and I'm bashing the government, eyebrows raise. I'm this other person who is very calm, cool, and collected. Times I want to be more forthright, to say things... but I step back. Because this government, they'll come for me. <br />
: can limit the level of advocacy, the points you're trying to get across. If you hide behind a different name, you can't sign petitions.<br />
: you can come out as your avatar.<br />
<br />
Ok to adopt more personalities?<br />
: yes. you know who you are. This account is for being a daughter, this one is for being a student...<br />
<br />
Work on accommodating, instead of bashing. If someone says something you disagree with, to have a good conversation. Workshops around changing culture -- just because you disagree with my comment, we can still be civil. Self expression.<br />
: shifting culture takes time. how do you balance that in the meantime?<br />
: trying to accommodate other people's opinions. politicians blocking people they're supposed to be representing!<br />
<br />
Disagree in a respectful way. We know how to react to things. Don't need to escalate - take some time off to release your tension. Self-regulation.<br />
: stepping away isn't always the solution, tho.<br />
<br />
Should be guidelines for interactions.<br />
: open for criticism, you might get bashed, don't take it personally.<br />
<br />
Channels/paths of expression as what creates safe space. Closed groups, mailing lists, etc.<br />
: then you're not expressing yourself freely, only expressing to those who already agree with you.<br />
: hard to find those groups if you're not already in those groups.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cross-platform communication : how to do safety there?<br />
<br />
Moderators for posts<br />
: if it's not relevant, it doesn't get posted.<br />
: sets expectations, rules of engagement<br />
<br />
Saving face<br />
: having online debates means anyone can see it?<br />
: unlikely to admit defeat in an argument when there's an audience<br />
: either apologize or retract when insulting with an audience<br />
: people are much more careful online because of Kenyans On Twitter (#kot)<br />
<br />
Should we quit using certain tools for certain ends?<br />
: openness of platform - we can see what people think and say! As opposed to parliament, where were don't know what people are saying.<br />
: tools are complimentary. take something actionabile offline.<br />
<br />
Ownership of sides - like in sports - it's ''my'' team. Like I play with them. Take that into other spaces -- an argument, suddenly it's you. But there are no rules of engagement.<br />
: following what you see other people doing. see it as possible to yourself.<br />
: all these tools, we teach ourselves. no one is teaching us.<br />
:: people are teaching you even before you join.<br />
<br />
===safe foyer===<br />
Admin taking people into a side bar conversation. Social, not just technical. Ensure people read, understand the information coming up.<br />
: most admins have viewpoints.<br />
: have community moderators.<br />
: but admins have responsibilities.<br />
<br />
It's like a debate, how do ou know which side folk are on?<br />
: debate should only involve the relevant people <br />
<br />
Threshold from foyer to public, if people aren't listening to issues.<br />
<br />
===Conversations about transparency in politics===<br />
need to translate between what happens online and offline.<br />
<br />
===conversations about Somali interactions on Twitter===<br />
Can we make a Storify on both the conversations that stuck to the issues, and a storify of where it was derailed?<br />
<br />
==Breakouts==<br />
<br />
===Mitigating Online Violence===<br />
: How does violence go between online and offline? How should we handle ourselves online? How can we best interact online without offending anyone? Is online escalation different in different locations, or is it all one big internet?<br />
The followers are the ones who escalate the conversations where there are issues with leaders disagreeing. Someone with 300k followers, someone with 83k. How can we make a meaningful conversation out of all the noise being created? Want to introduce is channeling all this to something positive. Want to have a '''live debate''' on google hangout. Track/map the conversations going on -- get the people having the debate around it to directly interact with each other. Filter the noise from the real conversation. People who have the facts, bring them together, have a real conversation. This will help people stop misusing the tools. Bring the conversations to a face-off where we can talk.<br />
<br />
Before you even get to your next tweet, there are conversations happening on the first one. How do we deal with unstructured conversations versus structured?<br />
<br />
Address the issues of a limited tool. Balance of spectators. Calling your audience out if they're escalating.<br />
<br />
Harness positive conversations.<br />
<br />
===Tracking===<br />
Who is watching what I share with my friends on SMS (Airtel, Safaricom, etc)? Can be positive or negative - if someone has been stalking you, and you want to show it, you can access the logs.<br />
: Software you can install on other people's phone so you can see what they're doing. Supposedly to catch cheating partners. Can see what you shared, who you talked to.<br />
How best to filter and track violent communication online?<br />
: Twitter, Facebook, instagram, etc. Can we have an open source algorithm which filters out hate speech etc, but tracks what you didn't have?<br />
Geolocation - is it safe for me to use geolocation?<br />
: It's not safe. Showing where people are clustered for terrorist attacks. Also the metadata increases your vulnerability in online space.<br />
Internet safety other than passwords<br />
: myshadow.org informs you on how you're exposing yourself. Facebook, twitter, etc - who are they selling your data to? But you can also see tools which will help protect your privacy.<br />
: keypass, 1password, etc makes different passwords for each account, while you only remember one.<br />
TV viewership versus privacy - how do you control the content you watch?<br />
: digital migration issues are not just about access, also about security. Can't pay with cash, have to pay with a card linked to your person.<br />
: how can we de-link our email and phone numbers from our viewership?<br />
<br />
===Safe space and tools===<br />
Defining safe space: found a definition (added to [[Checklist for making safe space]], as are many other notes). "The only safe space is when your device is unplugged."<br />
: example of hidden spaces kept safe for gay community. Then how do others find it?<br />
: how long does it last? You might have it in an ongoing way, or based on incidents.<br />
Can we have an open but also safe space?<br />
: If everyone is respecting me, is it just going to be boring?<br />
Safe space so far as sexual harassment.<br />
<br />
How do people get to be included? Just walking in? Have to prove commitment?<br />
: how are people added or excluded?<br />
: how are people re-integrated?<br />
: how do we make sure it doesn't become cliquish?<br />
: how do we know when violations are happening?<br />
Access level of passwords can exclude people. When is that ok, when isn't it?<br />
<br />
How is that data stored?<br />
: right now, Facebook is stored all the way back to 2009. Would safe space mean deleting history over time? But what about patterns of violation of safe space?<br />

! [http://reagle.org/joseph/2013/ok/ok.html Obligation to Know]<br />
| In heavy use by FLOSS communities, and now transferred into geek feminism, this details a need to have a rudimentary understanding of a topic before engaging with those better versed in it. In addition to documenting and sharing information geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. Online feminists, especially geek feminists, are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know. However, in<br />
this community the obligation reflects the increased likelihood of disruptive, or ‘derailing’, questions and a more complex and gendered relationship with stature, as seen in the notions of impostor syndrome, the Unicorn Law, and mansplaining.<br />

''Matt says: "Russia is not the first to use flame wars and public shaming as a tool to silence critics. And in their attacks and others I see similarities to DDOS style attacks in the internet. Reflector attacks in networks make use of loud commonly accessible services such as dns to overload communications with noise. Tying issues into other issues through fallacy or other exploitative means as a way to force bipartisanship and offense works similarly as a tactic."<br />

What is currently going wrong?
2017-08-05T17:47:56Z
<p>Willow: Protected "What is currently going wrong?" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))</p>
<hr />
<div>==What do we Know about what is Broken right now?==<br />
* We have a lot of case studies in communication breakdowns.<br />
* Salon documented the outrage of the day for 2014<br />
* People are trying to apply social scripts which work afk (<10 people, single channel, conversation can't branch, synchronous, emphemeral) to a platform where everyone can speak at one, everyone sees a unique view (unique and incomplete)<br />
* Extreme lack of definition -- previous contexts etc don't inform new interaction<br />
* Derailing as an issue in afk communication as it's a scarcity mindset -- only single channel afk. You can multi-thread in online space. Unless you have the social norm of paying attention to people.<br />
* Lack of conscious use/application of social norms online<br />
* Difficult to see how many people can see how many are participating in the conversation. At best, an approximation thru thread count.<br />
* Ephemerality as a concern of mapping etc.<br />
* There will be predators and abusers using any social network. Good and bad actors sharing the same spaces.<br />
* There will be people who, in good faith, have committed social transgressions. Protect against one and indoctronate the other?<br />
* No corrective measures<br />
* People expect leeway in what they've said and done. Recalling to actual past statements and actions is taken as an act of hostility.<br />
* Desire but resistance to protective measures.<br />
* Stranger Danger isn't a real thing. Been re-introduced and re-normalized. Fear as a mechanism of control.<br />
* Outrage is exploited for commercial gain by people who sell things that piss off some sector of society - new forms of collectively destructive exploitation<br />
* Political space is becoming more polarized.<br />
* Scaled exploitation for personal gain.<br />
* Demand for punishment is out of proportion with any given misstep. (Again scale - disproportionate response. "Calling out" as an extraordinarily blunt instrument online. Call-outs as a weapon ["call in" is a private call-out].)<br />
* Sociopath-empath-apath triad: http://www.sott.net/article/268449-Empathic-people-are-natural-targets-for-sociopaths-protect-yourself (headline is clickbait, gets a bit victim-blamey toward the end, but good description of the phenomenon)<br />
* Consensus arrived at in the absence of communication about it: Schelling Point<br />
* The firehose/tsunami effect - people overwhelmed with all the noise - "weaponization of noise"??? - confirmation bias and pareidolia are especially dangerous when your data set is so large that you can find patterns anywhere you look<br />
* Fallacy/the law of the excluded middle / false dichotomy (law of the excluded middle is an axiom in classical logic; constructivist logic omits it)<br />
[[File:FalseDichotomies.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Feels==<br />
* Internet amnesia is terrifying (Kony 2012)<br />
* Attempting to apply the wrong map to the territory isn't going to end successfully<br />
* Collective memory is fucking weird<br />
* Learned helplessness is a condition to combat.<br />
* Scared to step out of line<br />
* Frustration with people viciously agreeing with each other.<br />
* Feels like trolling and harassment are becoming normalized<br />
* Despair. Does anyone else even see how much waste heat people are generating, good intentions or no?<br />
* Scaling of punishment derails actual purpose.<br />
* People should be able to see themselves in context - their disapproval is ok as the one, but in a group it's not so much<br />
* Abuse of power (many different kinds of power)<br />
* Isolation<br />
* Lack of continuity - changing disasters every day leads to less real engagement<br />
* No second chances, lack of acknowledgment that people change/learn<br />
<br />
==Gut==<br />
* We could channel attention to better ends.<br />
* Can we design systems to combat the charasmatic and intelligent people. or just attenuate their domination, make room for the introverted or not so bright - an equalizing tool?<br />
* Calling out has become performative rather than remedial[/instrumental]<br />
* Fail faster, fail better http://pyvideo.org/video/1563/fail-faster-fail-better<br />
* As a general rule, attempting to use AFK protocols (norms and scripts) online is doomed to failure<br />
* More acceptable online and off to dodge a question than to straight up refuse to answer it<br />
==Funny hahas==<br />
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDWzGm1W0WY - Diversity of the word 'Fuck'<br />
* www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHqGV5WjS4w - Trolling at Def Con<br />

==Do==<br />
* Not answering should be an option.<br />
* Figure out what goes with consent or non-consent (what features, what level of privacy, etc.)<br />

Social Scripts
2017-08-05T17:47:32Z
<p>Willow: Protected "Social Scripts" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))</p>
<hr />
<div>Parent/Adult/Child, family relationships<br />
Conflict online as very much about sibling, not relatinoship<br />
<br />
"Sexuality is the first time that neurotypical people have to explicitly think through something."<br />
<br />
People are exacting social scripts without realizing they are piling straws on camel's backs, and how many straws there are.<br />
<br />
Youth online risk and social media risk for families and schools.<br />
No agency - you are either a perpetrator or victim, more often a victim.<br />
The technology you use is inconsequential - if anything, it interferes with your homework. It's disempowering. Conditioning an entire generation with that sense of powerlessness.<br />
Couch potato / passive consumption thing. Media is something you consume. Need to understand media is an interactive thing.<br />
"It's not real." in an emotional, technical, etc <br />
<br />
"The Games People Play" as games theory for social situation. We are *so* social that, denied positive, we seek out negative, because it is better than nothing. "Stroke" as a basic unit of measurement.<br />
<br />
Big proponents of anonmymity and human rights. Wanting real names is about top-down. For kids, against passive consumption, we should instead be encouraging people to take a more active role. <br />
<br />
Axiomatic - communication will find a way. WoW as a social platform. Can't see your friends due to location and timezones? Still see them elsewhere. Protocols are very dependant on the medium. Tumblr is context-free. In Twitter, you can't see what else has happened in a thread, which contributes to piling on.<br />
<br />
Industry responsibility isn't just about backend for reporting abuse, also about frontend interaction and setting expectations.<br />
Twitter as 140 characters being wht could be managed.<br />

Parameters of Interaction
2017-08-05T14:00:44Z
<p>Willow: Protected "Parameters of Interaction": Excessive spamming ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite)) [cascading]</p>
<hr />
<div>==Number of Connections or "Friends"==<br />
* Do people behave differently if they don't have a previous connection or history with the person they're interacting with?<br />
* How do people behave if they have a limited number of set connections?<br />
* Does anything change if connection count isn't visible to others?<br />
<br />
==Listening Period or Reflection Space==<br />
* The '''Listening Period''' was presented by Gordon Mangum at Center for Civic Media, and can be perused in further detail [http://civicmediaclass.mit.edu/2015/05/12/building-a-better-chat-room/ here]<br />
* A '''Reflection Space''' was posited as an [[IntrospectionBot]] which might prompt a ''mental'' stretch similar to desktop reminders to get up and move around.<br />
<br />
==Threading Model==<br />
* What is in the conversation?<br />
* Who can participate?<br />
* Who can view?<br />
* How many nesting levels are there?<br />
[[File:ThreadingModels.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
==Privacy Control==<br />
* Who can see and interact with the discussion?<br />
<br />
==Scope Control==<br />
Set by the poster via the platform: who and how many people is the post advertised to?<br />
<br />
==Prioritization==<br />
Set by listener, as allowed by the platform<br />
<br />
==Randomization/Serendipity/Enforced Bubble Popping==<br />
How do we prevent people from complete homophily?<br />
<br />
==Latency Tolerance / Persistance==<br />
How long to messages last, and do you have to be present in order to see them?<br />
<br />
==Notifications==<br />
Knowing that something has happened on a network can either help you re-engage or be so annoying you rage quit.<br />
<br />
==Integration==<br />
Is it possible to cross-post from other platforms? What about email? Does it work on mobile? Etc.<br />
<br />
==Indexed / Unindexed==<br />
Is it searchable?<br />
<br />
==Sharing==<br />
* Easy: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr. Arguably also what adds to phases of outrage -- all passing on, no synthesis.<br />
* Difficult: Instagram, LiveJournal. Require reference to the original, rather than passing on.<br />
* Aggregate: RSS, occasionally with commenting function.<br />
<br />
==Message Size==<br />
* character limit<br />
* image size or shape<br />
<br />
==Velocity of Content==<br />
* Possible to inject unicorns in order to appease system 1<br />
* Possible to provide reframing for system 2<br />
<br />
==Synchronicity / Asynchronicity==<br />
* Harder to perform harassment in synchronous space, also more difficult to get away.<br />
* Easier to harass in asynchronous space, also easier to escape.<br />
* Synchronous spaces include AFK, twitter, and IRC<br />
* Asynchronous spaces include XMPP with offline delivery, email<br />
* Bridging function is with bots<br />
<br />
[[File:Derailment.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Connection model==<br />
* one-to-one<br />
* one-to-many (short blasts)<br />
* many-to-many<br />
* many-to-one<br />
<br />
==Communication method==<br />
See also: [[Online Non-Verbal Communication]] from [[2015 February New York City]]<br />
* audio (1-1 conversation, or under 10)<br />
* text (1-1 conversation, or group conversation)<br />
* tone of voice<br />
* body language<br />
* images<br />
<br />
==Privacy control / scope control==<br />
* public (observable)<br />
* filtered (observable to some)<br />
* private (unobservable)<br />
<br />
==Guaranteed Delivery vs Lossy==<br />
you cannot tell that you're being ignored, you can only guess. If one sort of message is dropped, a similar sort of message will also be dropped. Facebook's algorithm is now lossy.<br />
<br />
==Astroturfing==<br />
isn't something we can create a technical solution for.<br />
<br />
==Ephemerality / indexed / unindexed==<br />
* Anything which can't be searched or known about by a 3rd party is ephemeral. Ello was unsearchable, and with a private account it's unindexed by Google.<br />
* Ephemeral, indexed system would be 4chan. Continuously updated. Something Aweful counts as the same -- after 6 months, gets kicked to archive, so you can't read unless you'vepaid $10 for upgrade.<br />
* Ephemerality will only have probabilistic privacy benefits. In SnapChat, we figured out that if there is interesting content, it will be saved.<br />
* Ephemerality effects how people use something. Twitter, after a certain number of following, means you "cannot step in the same TweetStream twice".<br />
* Flickr is indexed by tags. YouTube indexes by tags, but not by the way something moves.<br />
* Unindexed - OTR, SnapChat. Gives a sense of closed community -- not visible to spiders nor to folk wandering around.<br />
* updates / changelogs / edits<br />
* Should metadata of an interaction be logged?<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Sharing increases laziness==<br />
Different human semantics/connotation. ShoutOut vs thoughtfully inviting people. <br />
<br />
==Scope insensitivity==<br />
not realizing you're a part of the masses.<br />
* "47 other people have said somethign like this" on Amazon<br />
* "Factually false" or "agree/disagree" etc. Can agree but say it's overly adversarial.<br />
<br />
==Moderation==<br />
* Top-down moderation doesn't scale, full stop<br />
* Bottom-up moderation might be having enough karma to just be able to edit posts. Stack overflow, for instance, because it's about being clear and useful, you might be moderated for language and syntax.<br />
* Moderation as a mechanism for curation. Of posts, of individuals.<br />
* Unmoderated space is also an option<br />
<br />
[[File:CommentsAndModeration.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Commenting==<br />
* [[Parameters_of_Interaction#Sharing|Sharing in parameters of interaction]]<br />
<br />
==Velocity==<br />
* If content shows up too quickly, might bias towards fluffy nonthinking.<br />
rapid inbound goes for system1 responses. off-the-cuff becaus ethere's too much going on<br />
* "You cannot comment unless you've actually read the whole thing" -- can we do this technically? CSS fingerprinting on if people have actually opened the link. iFrame at bottom of next page that pings back, query the cookie from an iFrame or pingback. Callback on scrolling to see if someone has scrolled all the way to the bottom, like a EULA that won't let you sign unless you've seen the whole thing.<br />
** Could put a bunch of little trackers in a page, to make sure they proceed a normal reading pace. <br />
** Could also make a [[Quiz to comment]] that people have to answer.<br />
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_economy Scarcity of attention]<br />
* Interruption and [[Derailment]] methods go here<br />
* Prioritization of visibility -- should people you interact with more be easier or harder to find/comment on? Should quiet people be "seen" more?<br />
<br />
===Velocity of Discussion===<br />
* rate limiting<br />
* token models<br />
* making rare commenter's comments larger<br />
* See more of the people you comment on. See more of people you engage in meaningful debate with, see more of people you comment negatively on. Automatic but overridable.<br />
<br />
===Velocity of content===<br />
* If velocity is speading up, here are fuzzy things.<br />
* Automated unicorns to disrupt carrying forward anger<br />
* Break into system2 by showing an image or narrative of some kind.<br />

How do we prevent people from complete homophily?<br />
<br />
==Latency Tolerance / Persistance==<br />
How long to messages last, and do you have to be present in order to see them?<br />
<br />
==Notifications==<br />
Knowing that something has happened on a network can either help you re-engage or be so annoying you rage quit.<br />
<br />
==Integration==<br />
Is it possible to cross-post from other platforms? What about email? Does it work on mobile? Etc.<br />
<br />
==Indexed / Unindexed==<br />
Is it searchable?<br />
<br />
==Sharing==<br />
* Easy: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr. Arguably also what adds to phases of outrage -- all passing on, no synthesis.<br />
* Difficult: Instagram, LiveJournal. Require reference to the original, rather than passing on.<br />
* Aggregate: RSS, occasionally with commenting function.<br />
<br />
==Message Size==<br />
* character limit<br />
* image size or shape<br />
<br />
==Velocity of Content==<br />
* Possible to inject unicorns in order to appease system 1<br />
* Possible to provide reframing for system 2<br />
<br />
==Synchronicity / Asynchronicity==<br />
* Harder to perform harassment in synchronous space, also more difficult to get away.<br />
* Easier to harass in asynchronous space, also easier to escape.<br />
* Synchronous spaces include AFK, twitter, and IRC<br />
* Asynchronous spaces include XMPP with offline delivery, email<br />
* Bridging function is with bots<br />
<br />
[[File:Derailment.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Connection model==<br />
* one-to-one<br />
* one-to-many (short blasts)<br />
* many-to-many<br />
* many-to-one<br />
<br />
==Communication method==<br />
See also: [[Online Non-Verbal Communication]] from [[2015 February New York City]]<br />
* audio (1-1 conversation, or under 10)<br />
* text (1-1 conversation, or group conversation)<br />
* tone of voice<br />
* body language<br />
* images<br />
<br />
==Privacy control / scope control==<br />
* public (observable)<br />
* filtered (observable to some)<br />
* private (unobservable)<br />
<br />
==Guaranteed Delivery vs Lossy==<br />
you cannot tell that you're being ignored, you can only guess. If one sort of message is dropped, a similar sort of message will also be dropped. Facebook's algorithm is now lossy.<br />
<br />
==Astroturfing==<br />
isn't something we can create a technical solution for.<br />
<br />
==Ephemerality / indexed / unindexed==<br />
* Anything which can't be searched or known about by a 3rd party is ephemeral. Ello was unsearchable, and with a private account it's unindexed by Google.<br />
* Ephemeral, indexed system would be 4chan. Continuously updated. Something Aweful counts as the same -- after 6 months, gets kicked to archive, so you can't read unless you'vepaid $10 for upgrade.<br />
* Ephemerality will only have probabilistic privacy benefits. In SnapChat, we figured out that if there is interesting content, it will be saved.<br />
* Ephemerality effects how people use something. Twitter, after a certain number of following, means you "cannot step in the same TweetStream twice".<br />
* Flickr is indexed by tags. YouTube indexes by tags, but not by the way something moves.<br />
* Unindexed - OTR, SnapChat. Gives a sense of closed community -- not visible to spiders nor to folk wandering around.<br />
* updates / changelogs / edits<br />
* Should metadata of an interaction be logged?<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Sharing increases laziness==<br />
Different human semantics/connotation. ShoutOut vs thoughtfully inviting people. <br />
<br />
==Scope insensitivity==<br />
not realizing you're a part of the masses.<br />
* "47 other people have said somethign like this" on Amazon<br />
* "Factually false" or "agree/disagree" etc. Can agree but say it's overly adversarial.<br />
<br />
==Moderation==<br />
* Top-down moderation doesn't scale, full stop<br />
* Bottom-up moderation might be having enough karma to just be able to edit posts. Stack overflow, for instance, because it's about being clear and useful, you might be moderated for language and syntax.<br />
* Moderation as a mechanism for curation. Of posts, of individuals.<br />
* Unmoderated space is also an option<br />
<br />
[[File:CommentsAndModeration.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Commenting==<br />
* [[Parameters_of_Interaction#Sharing|Sharing in parameters of interaction]]<br />
<br />
==Velocity==<br />
* If content shows up too quickly, might bias towards fluffy nonthinking.<br />
rapid inbound goes for system1 responses. off-the-cuff becaus ethere's too much going on<br />
* "You cannot comment unless you've actually read the whole thing" -- can we do this technically? CSS fingerprinting on if people have actually opened the link. iFrame at bottom of next page that pings back, query the cookie from an iFrame or pingback. Callback on scrolling to see if someone has scrolled all the way to the bottom, like a EULA that won't let you sign unless you've seen the whole thing.<br />
** Could put a bunch of little trackers in a page, to make sure they proceed a normal reading pace. <br />
** Could also make a [[Quiz to comment]] that people have to answer.<br />
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_economy Scarcity of attention]<br />
* Interruption and [[Derailment]] methods go here<br />
* Prioritization of visibility -- should people you interact with more be easier or harder to find/comment on? Should quiet people be "seen" more?<br />
<br />
===Velocity of Discussion===<br />
* rate limiting<br />
* token models<br />
* making rare commenter's comments larger<br />
* See more of the people you comment on. See more of people you engage in meaningful debate with, see more of people you comment negatively on. Automatic but overridable.<br />

! [http://reagle.org/joseph/2013/ok/ok.html Obligation to Know]<br />
| In heavy use by FLOSS communities, and now transferred into geek feminism, this details a need to have a rudimentary understanding of a topic before engaging with those better versed in it. In addition to documenting and sharing information geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. Online feminists, especially geek feminists, are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know. However, in<br />
this community the obligation reflects the increased likelihood of disruptive, or ‘derailing’, questions and a more complex and gendered relationship with stature, as seen in the notions of impostor syndrome, the Unicorn Law, and mansplaining.<br />

Pattern of action (but not intent) matches [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sea-lioning Sea-Lioning], though the intentions of the interjector are considered vastly different. ''Panzagar began by creating a meme. A person (usually a cute young woman, as drawn by the team’s animé-loving volunteer illustrators) holds a flower in her mouth. Taking a cue from this symbolic commitment not to use or tolerate speech that can “spread hate among people,” as Nay Phone Latt puts it, thousands of people ‘liked’ Panzagar’s Facebook page within days of its creation, and many have posted photographs of themselves holding flowers in their mouths.''<br />

:''The existing harms of social scripts we ran while in smaller, geographically-constrained groups are being amplified due to network effect. Tiny unchecked errors, scaled, become large harms as people find ways to exploit them, in life just as in software.'' - Meredith<br />
<br />
Weaponized Social is a series of [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Events events], [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial discussion], [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects action], and surrounding community to examine the network effects of [[Social Scripts|human interaction]], to encourage the healthy and to '''de'''[[What is currently going wrong?|weaponize]] the powerful tools at our fingertips. We welcome you to join us at an event, on our mailing list, or to hold space as well.<br />
===About Aspiration===<br />
Weaponized Social is a program area of [http://aspirationtech.org Aspiration]. Aspiration helps nonprofits and foundations use software tools more effectively and sustainably. We serve as ally, coach, strategist, mentor and facilitator to those trying to make more impactful use of information technology in their social change efforts.<br />
<br />
Aspiration has taken on Weaponized Social as an extension of our commitment to solidarity with our community and to equality as mediated by technology. Our work to support more people in their existing efforts by making use of technology brings historically marginalized populations into online space. And as the larger online community welcomes new people into new spaces, we have not only an opportunity, but also an obligation, to do so with more intent and understanding than society has tended to in the past.<br />
<br />
===How to get involved===<br />
* '''Join the conversation''' via the [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial mailing list].<br />
* '''Join at an event''' by either joining the mailing list, or [http://mailto:weaponizedsocial@aspirationtech.org emailing your interest to us].<br />
* '''Assisting [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects projects] listed here''' in a variety of ways, as linked to from or below the project.<br />
* '''Contribute to this wiki''' by making edits and new pages!<br />

We ABSOLUTELY welcome contributions to this wiki; please contact info@aspirationtech.org to request an account. <br />
We apologize for the hassle!<br />
<br />
===How to use this wiki===<br />
In this wiki, you'll find links to external resources, [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Events events] and their associated notes, and [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects project specs]; all structured within the [[disaster cycle]] framework. All the work and ideas here are open, and done in good faith that healthy action will be carried forward. We hope the collective knowledge accrued here will be useful in building healthy (including dissent) communities online and off. That might be by creating (and enforcing) a Code of Conduct for your community, it might be by installing a plugin to your website, or it might be by going through a self-reflection checklist if you're a part of an escalating exchange.<br />

==The [[disaster cycle]]==<br />
{{Disaster cycle}}<br />
==Events==<br />
* '''[https://devsummit.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=How_to_Make_People_Safe_Online 2015 November at Nonprofit Dev Summit]''' : at the yearly Aspiration event, went over the basics of Weaponized Social.<br />
* '''[[2015 October Call]]''' : review of ongoing projects, offers to assist.<br />
* '''[[International Workshop on Misogyny and the Internet|2015 June Berkman Center]]''' : the International Workshop for Misogyny and the Internet hosted by Berkman Center was facilitated by Aspiration, but is not a Weaponized Social event. It is listed here for posterity purposes. The 50+ attendees sourced lessons from history; explored a global perspective; detailed the role of humor, of law, and of anonymity; and considered queering data.<br />
* '''[[2015 May San Francisco]]''' : with a focus on the mitigation and re-examination of systems and escalations themselves, this group worked on piecing out aspects of social interaction so as to better intervene, on expressed norms, and on redirecting outrage energy into longer-term interventions.<br />
* '''[[2015 April Nairobi]]''' : our first foray into non-Western-centric viewpoints, the Nairobi group had direct experience with online instigation leading to offline harms. We considered scaffolding for engagement, automation of response, and safe versus free spaces.<br />
* '''[[2015 March San Francisco]]''' (meetup) : a laid-back gathering of interested parties.<br />
* '''[[2015 February New York City]]''' : network theory, safe space guidelines, self reflection guidelines, and a surprisingly populated Venn Diagram overlap between Nonviolent Communication and traditional trolling.<br />
* '''[[2015 January Berkman Center]]''' : the dry run of the topic, the most basic roles and components for a healthy community were discussed as being catalysts, difference, awareness, and norms.<br />

Checklist for making safe space
2015-11-06T15:22:03Z
<p>Willow: </p>
<hr />
<div>"A place where anyone can relax and be fully self-expressed, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, age, or physical or mental ability; a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect and dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others." - Advocates for Youth<br />
<br />
:Digital: easy to walk away online. Or to push your own agenda.<br />
:there are established patterns already: spaces that use conflict resolution, guidelines, codes<br />
:what would be more useful for us now? <br />
<br />
after making many many postit notes about safe spaces, we organized and found three main themes:<br />
# Making safe space<br />
# acting/being in safe space<br />
# when things go wrong<br />
<br />
talking through these, we began making a list of questions for organizers and participants to ask, framing as questions for consideration (awareness) rather than a checklist<br />
<br />
==Making Safe Space==<br />
When intentionally creating safe space, you should be able to explicitly answer the following questions. This will help you create and hold safe space.<br />
# Who is this space for?<br />
# How will they find it (if you want to be found)? ''engineering for serendipity is hard. Advocacy/permeability, etc.''<br />
# How long does it last? ''Not only resolving current concerns, but also altering the main space to prevent future similar issues''<br />
# What are the expectations of this space, and how do people indicate their commitment to adhering to those expectations? (see also: Codes of Conduct)<br />
# What is "safety" in the context of this space?<br />
# Who is or is not represented in your group? (Is this intentional or not?)<br />
# What aspects of this space are negotiable or not? <br />
# Has everyone that is included chosen to be included?<br />
# How does someone enter/exit this safe space? ''If someone "gets it" after messing up, can they rejoin? How do we prevent cliques in that?''<br />
# How does the creation of this space impact the safety of those outside it?<br />
# Setting access controls. ''Exhibiting commitment or understanding of a cause - also used by gangs and violence, so consider carefully.''<br />
# What cultural context is in play?<br />
<br />
==Acting/Being In==<br />
# What kinds of work do I need to do with myself to participate?<br />
# By what channels does communication happen?<br />
# How do you communicate experiences within this spaces?<br />
# How do you raise qeustions about the process?<br />
# What behaviors are useful within this space?<br />
# What kinds of disagreement/debate are constructive within this space?<br />
# How do you signal what kind of communication you want?<br />
# What kinds of failure modes are the channels of this space likely to fall into (both intentional and unintentional)?<br />
<br />
==Questions to ask during breakdowns?==<br />
# what is the response if a member feels unsafe?<br />
# what are the options/opportunities for support?<br />
# what are the options/opportunities for existing the space?<br />
# are there specific threats to the safety of this space? <br />
<br />
<br />
(From the other room, discussion of breakdowns and specific what/how... Toxic individuals, for example.)<br />
individuals harming the community... <br />
fold into the above, especially in "during breakdowns" section: [[Physical Spaces influcenced by Internets]]<br />

! [http://reagle.org/joseph/2013/ok/ok.html Obligation to Know]<br />
| In heavy use by FLOSS communities, and now transferred into geek feminism, this details a need to have a rudimentary understanding of a topic before engaging with those better versed in it. In addition to documenting and sharing information geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. Online feminists, especially geek feminists, are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know. However, in<br />
this community the obligation reflects the increased likelihood of disruptive, or ‘derailing’, questions and a more complex and gendered relationship with stature, as seen in the notions of impostor syndrome, the Unicorn Law, and mansplaining.<br />

Pattern of action (but not intent) matches [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sea-lioning Sea-Lioning], though the intentions of the interjector are considered vastly different. ''Panzagar began by creating a meme. A person (usually a cute young woman, as drawn by the team’s animé-loving volunteer illustrators) holds a flower in her mouth. Taking a cue from this symbolic commitment not to use or tolerate speech that can “spread hate among people,” as Nay Phone Latt puts it, thousands of people ‘liked’ Panzagar’s Facebook page within days of its creation, and many have posted photographs of themselves holding flowers in their mouths.''<br />

''Matt says: "Russia is not the first to use flame wars and public shaming as a tool to silence critics. And in their attacks and others I see similarities to DDOS style attacks in the internet. Reflector attacks in networks make use of loud commonly accessible services such as dns to overload communications with noise. Tying issues into other issues through fallacy or other exploitative means as a way to force bipartisanship and offense works similarly as a tactic."<br />

https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=Parameters_of_Interaction&diff=301
Parameters of Interaction
2015-10-28T18:04:42Z
<p>Willow: </p>
<hr />
<div>==Number of Connections or "Friends"==<br />
* Do people behave differently if they don't have a previous connection or history with the person they're interacting with?<br />
* How do people behave if they have a limited number of set connections?<br />
* Does anything change if connection count isn't visible to others?<br />
<br />
==Listening Period or Reflection Space==<br />
* The '''Listening Period''' was presented by Gordon Mangum at Center for Civic Media, and can be perused in further detail [http://civicmediaclass.mit.edu/2015/05/12/building-a-better-chat-room/ here]<br />
* A '''Reflection Space''' was posited as an [[IntrospectionBot]] which might prompt a ''mental'' stretch similar to desktop reminders to get up and move around.<br />
<br />
==Threading Model==<br />
* What is in the conversation?<br />
* Who can participate?<br />
* Who can view?<br />
* How many nesting levels are there?<br />
[[File:ThreadingModels.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
==Privacy Control==<br />
* Who can see and interact with the discussion?<br />
<br />
==Scope Control==<br />
Set by the poster via the platform: who and how many people is the post advertised to?<br />
<br />
==Prioritization==<br />
Set by listener, as allowed by the platform<br />
<br />
==Randomization/Serendipity/Enforced Bubble Popping==<br />
How do we prevent people from complete homophily?<br />
<br />
==Latency Tolerance / Persistance==<br />
How long to messages last, and do you have to be present in order to see them?<br />
<br />
==Notifications==<br />
Knowing that something has happened on a network can either help you re-engage or be so annoying you rage quit.<br />
<br />
==Integration==<br />
Is it possible to cross-post from other platforms? What about email? Does it work on mobile? Etc.<br />
<br />
==Indexed / Unindexed==<br />
Is it searchable?<br />
<br />
==Sharing==<br />
* Easy: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr. Arguably also what adds to phases of outrage -- all passing on, no synthesis.<br />
* Difficult: Instagram, LiveJournal. Require reference to the original, rather than passing on.<br />
* Aggregate: RSS, occasionally with commenting function.<br />
<br />
==Message Size==<br />
* character limit<br />
* image size or shape<br />
<br />
==Velocity of Content==<br />
* Possible to inject unicorns in order to appease system 1<br />
* Possible to provide reframing for system 2<br />
<br />
==Synchronicity / Asynchronicity==<br />
* Harder to perform harassment in synchronous space, also more difficult to get away.<br />
* Easier to harass in asynchronous space, also easier to escape.<br />
* Synchronous spaces include AFK, twitter, and IRC<br />
* Asynchronous spaces include XMPP with offline delivery, email<br />
* Bridging function is with bots<br />
<br />
[[File:Derailment.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Connection model==<br />
* one-to-one<br />
* one-to-many (short blasts)<br />
* many-to-many<br />
* many-to-one<br />
<br />
==Communication method==<br />
See also: [[Online Non-Verbal Communication]] from [[2015 February New York City]]<br />
* audio (1-1 conversation, or under 10)<br />
* text (1-1 conversation, or group conversation)<br />
* tone of voice<br />
* body language<br />
* images<br />
<br />
==Privacy control / scope control==<br />
* public (observable)<br />
* filtered (observable to some)<br />
* private (unobservable)<br />
<br />
==Guaranteed Delivery vs Lossy==<br />
you cannot tell that you're being ignored, you can only guess. If one sort of message is dropped, a similar sort of message will also be dropped. Facebook's algorithm is now lossy.<br />
<br />
==Astroturfing==<br />
isn't something we can create a technical solution for.<br />
<br />
==Ephemerality / indexed / unindexed==<br />
* Anything which can't be searched or known about by a 3rd party is ephemeral. Ello was unsearchable, and with a private account it's unindexed by Google.<br />
* Ephemeral, indexed system would be 4chan. Continuously updated. Something Aweful counts as the same -- after 6 months, gets kicked to archive, so you can't read unless you'vepaid $10 for upgrade.<br />
* Ephemerality will only have probabilistic privacy benefits. In SnapChat, we figured out that if there is interesting content, it will be saved.<br />
* Ephemerality effects how people use something. Twitter, after a certain number of following, means you "cannot step in the same TweetStream twice".<br />
* Flickr is indexed by tags. YouTube indexes by tags, but not by the way something moves.<br />
* Unindexed - OTR, SnapChat. Gives a sense of closed community -- not visible to spiders nor to folk wandering around.<br />
* updates / changelogs / edits<br />
* Should metadata of an interaction be logged?<br />
<br />
[[File:Indexed.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Sharing increases laziness==<br />
Different human semantics/connotation. ShoutOut vs thoughtfully inviting people. <br />
<br />
==Scope insensitivity==<br />
not realizing you're a part of the masses.<br />
* "47 other people have said somethign like this" on Amazon<br />
* "Factually false" or "agree/disagree" etc. Can agree but say it's overly adversarial.<br />
<br />
==Moderation==<br />
* Top-down moderation doesn't scale, full stop<br />
* Bottom-up moderation might be having enough karma to just be able to edit posts. Stack overflow, for instance, because it's about being clear and useful, you might be moderated for language and syntax.<br />
* Moderation as a mechanism for curation. Of posts, of individuals.<br />
* Unmoderated space is also an option<br />
<br />
[[File:CommentsAndModeration.jpg|700px]]<br />
<br />
==Commenting==<br />
* [[Parameters_of_Interaction#Sharing|Sharing in parameters of interaction]]<br />
<br />
==Velocity==<br />
* If content shows up too quickly, might bias towards fluffy nonthinking.<br />
rapid inbound goes for system1 responses. off-the-cuff becaus ethere's too much going on<br />
* "You cannot comment unless you've actually read the whole thing" -- can we do this technically? CSS fingerprinting on if people have actually opened the link. iFrame at bottom of next page that pings back, query the cookie from an iFrame or pingback. Callback on scrolling to see if someone has scrolled all the way to the bottom, like a EULA that won't let you sign unless you've seen the whole thing.<br />
** Could put a bunch of little trackers in a page, to make sure they proceed a normal reading pace. <br />
** Could also make a [[Quiz to comment]] that people have to answer.<br />
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_economy Scarcity of attention]<br />
* Interruption and [[Derailment]] methods go here<br />
* Prioritization of visibility -- should people you interact with more be easier or harder to find/comment on? Should quiet people be "seen" more?<br />
<br />
===Velocity of Discussion===<br />
* rate limiting<br />
* token models<br />
* making rare commenter's comments larger<br />
* See more of the people you comment on. See more of people you engage in meaningful debate with, see more of people you comment negatively on. Automatic but overridable.<br />
<br />
===Velocity of content===<br />
* If velocity is speading up, here are fuzzy things.<br />
* Automated unicorns to disrupt carrying forward anger<br />
* Break into system2 by showing an image or narrative of some kind.<br />
* System1 mood shift, not disrupting system2 -- showing kittens<br />

2015 October Call
2015-10-20T19:53:07Z
<p>Willow: </p>
<hr />
<div>: This was a repeat call, once on October 14th and once on October 19th. It was posted to the [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial Weaponized Social mailing list], to the International Workshop on Misogyny and the Internet list, and to an online harassment taskforce list. The invitation was extended by some on those lists to others who had expressed interest in the topic. We used [http://uberconference.com Uber Conference] to call in, which worked well with an international crowd as it's accessible via phone and browser. Attendees had 2 full working days to review notes before they were transfered to this wiki.<br />
==Overview of how the call will work==<br />
* Agenda (intros of up to 30 seconds about you and your group, then longer updates on projects and organizational statuses, then wrap-up)<br />
* Note taking (we all take notes for each other)<br />
* Time keeping (if you go over, you will first be poked via chat, and then verbally interrupted)<br />
==Introductions (Who's here?)==<br />
''30 seconds each : 15 minutes tops total : who you are, what sorts of stuff you work on, what sort of world you want to live in : If you just spoke, take notes for the person who speaks after you.''<br />
===October 14===<br />
* Willow with Aspiration.<br />
* Meredith with Nuance. Security! Want to live in a world where people have productive disagreements.<br />
* TQ is hanging out with Meredith, but cooking.<br />
* Jolly is a nomad interested in computer security and life extension. Wants to live in a world with tighter communities and less aging/dying.<br />
* Desiree - Hollaback and Heartmob. Free and Equal<br />
* David - working on a book around these issues. Wants less tribalism and more skeptisism<br />
* Chinmayi - Bangalore, Bachchao project. Supports those enabling the fight against gender-based violence. Back to the world with butterflies, fewer humans.<br />
===October 19===<br />
* TQ - spend time with intersting people, half of whom I disagree with. The world I want to live in is one where it's safe to express and discuss unpopular opinions, <br />
* Yvonne - Nairobi Kenya based. Working on initiative called SKIRTS Want a world with more peace and tolerance<br />
* Susan - Works on ways of fostering conversations and reducing threats resulting from those conversations. World of passionate, provocative conversations without causing harm<br />
* Emily Founded and direct the UnSlut project, against sexual shaming and bullying. Online harassment. Working on making these topics palatable and approachable to people who think it doesn't affect them, who coast through life...future I envision is one in which it's trendy, expected, normalized to express ideas online without bringing in peoples' identities (leaving the option not to be scrutinized in that way if people prefer not to be)<br />
* Andrea - works with ToR project. She would like to live a world with less intimidating experiences(?)<br />
* Willow - Wants to live in a world where we can have informed debate, where we combine solidarity with informed critique because we can't have one without the other and be healthy.<br />
* Shireen - Want to live in a world where WoC aren't harassed online and off. Digital Sisters was the first organization to get women and girls of color online and into tech. 15 years later, we're still having that conversation, but now with challenges of these women being attacked Online. The other project is Stop Online Violence Against Women<br />
* Ed - UMich School of Information. Past: i3 Detroit hackerspace, MIT Center for Civic Media. Other interests: equalizing power imbalances, decentralization, nonviolent communication. @elplatt<br />
==Project and Organizational Overviews==<br />
===Fences===<br />
'''Quick summary''' Andrea, TQ, Meredith working on a decentralized dicussion platform. Want it to be censorship resistent, but autonomy respecting. People don't need to host (or even encounter) things they don't want to. Difficult to balance. Draws from Reddit, but even a little further. Reputation systems, how people interact nd how they say what they say. Making votes public and something you can subscribe to. If I downvote a post, I might do so because it's spam or a bad argument, but people who have a social connection to me might want to use my votes to determine what they see. Want to address issue of spam, problem of pile ons. Make it less of a contested space.<br />
There are balkanized discussion platforms where each has its own set of content and own set of discussions. People decide that policies on one platform aren't tenable has trouble migrating to another one. Network effects endemic of being social. Is there a way to store these perspectives so you might take different views of it? Moderate out parts of the discussion based on others' opinions, rankings, votes, other meta invormation. Side effect of taking all your data with you if you depart.<br />
: We'll have a two-layer structure, with the transport (currenct project) being mainly concerned with censorship-resistant message delivery. The only scarce resource here is bandwidth/storage, so the only blocking we need is a minimal level of spam filtering to preserve network functionality.<br />
: Next layer is edge moderation: how do we enable users to filter out the bullshit without using centralized platforms and creating a censorship chokepoint? Here the scarce resources are human time and emotional capacity to deal with high-conflict interactions.<br />
* Consider Sarah Perry's delightful essay: http://carcinisation.com/2014/08/29/two-patterns/; nearly all current platforms are at one endpoint or the other of the intimacy gradient - can we fill in the middle?<br />
* Contact: mlp@upstandinghackers.com<br />
* Need: Frontend side of things. Discussed ideas about how users and sites could present to different people to different effect. Need mockups, visual brainstorming. <br />

'''Quick Summary'''- Working on a book on technology and society, _Try, Catch, Finally_ on increasing balkanisation / growing extremism&intolerance on internet e.g., FB data showed some links shared by lefties, others by righties; Twitter had links shared by extremists but not moderates (!)<br />
something healthy about the old Internet has been lost at the scale we're operating at today<br />
* have you looked at Jonathan Stray's work on polarization? Good data science there. <br />
** yes, his stuff is good. Seb Benthall has had some ideas too.<br />
: conflicting loyalties between shareholders/users are part of the problem, as is lack of transparency<br />
: We're lacking a communal understanding of words even like "harassment" Disolving into middle school appeals to authority or moral authority bludgeon.<br />
* '''Need''': a working definition of what "harassment" is (and is not)<br />
===Bachchao===<br />
In January, we're having a hackathon around Gender Based Violence. Looking at what people have built to counter online harassment. Also security training for how to protect yourself online. Also an wish list of what can be built ?<br />
* '''Contact''': Chinmayi - chinmayi@thebachchaoproject.org<br />
* Need: References to existing security manuals. The ones which exist might not be good enough.<br />
** Meredith can help pull those together. Some of this is going to be journalist-specific, but the opsec needs of journalists and people in DV situations are pretty similar...@runasandvik probably already has a lot of journalist type security training out there. Tactical Tech, too. They just released one specific to gender.<br />
* Need: Resources?<br />
** Willow to send doc of projects after asking permission<br />
===SKIRTS===<br />
Creat a space against sexism and online violence against women. Conducted various workshops, gotten positive response. Challenge is when you create evidence on online violence, the numbers don't compare to offline workshops. But it ends up being the same people. Want to create provocative conversations without causing harm. A strategy towards that is challenging. We don't want to be fighting like tug-of-war, we want to blend in and create awareness. Cause mindsets to change, get people to realize the violence on and offline exists.<br />
Last month there was audio of a woman being raped. There was admiration for the man's prowess, her saying "no" was brushed off.<br />
* '''Need''' Support on creating provocative<br />
** Can we help amplify in a way which protects the privacy of the women you're working with?<br />
*** We have different issues coming on board here. This started from WhatsApp and moved to Twitter. You could pick teh name of the lady and the guy. Protecting privacy in that moment is tricky, as it's already out. But human rights defenders and journalists, it's preventative measures. Maybe change behavior. No strategy in this case, tho.<br />
** Have oyu organized people to respond? Like with Take Back the Tech recently? It looked like so many people were outraged by the response you refer to. What would have happened if they'd organized a simulaneous response.<br />
*** It trended for a day, and so long as we were having somber conversations, there were even more folk who were drowning it out by taking the conversation go in another route. In most situations, women relate and share. But Twitter is 70% male dominated, and a clear point will be lost in the noise.<br />
** How do we grow a safe space which has started and is doing ok?<br />
*** Is this even possible? My intuition: no, due to differences in definitions of "safe"<br />
===UnSlut Project===<br />
Doumentary film is being shown at a lot of colleges etc. 40 minutes, then a 30 minute discussion specific to that community. Self selecting audience that wants to learn. Can we use these conversations to tie in these platforms? Ask people to try them out, or to bring their specific challenges. '''Email Emily with folk to circulate for feedback.''' Use these screening events. Areas of focus are Online harassment, slut shaming and women empowerment. People are asking about what is changing, what is are the new tools that people are using to protect themselves?<br />
===Dangerous Speech===<br />
Emperical work with McGill University to look for cases in which people. Focus on different opinions engaging online and not having negative effect (golden conversation). Cases in which people with strong differences of opinion engage online. Somebody produces content that is seen as objectionable/hateful, someone responds trying to get that person to stop, and in some cases that first person is favorably affected. They are searching for these cases but don't have a tool for finding them at scale. In the meantime, data scientists in the group have been building classifiers, including for productive speech, using subreddits to train the software. '''Susan's ask if for ideas on how to find these "golden conversations" and how to find more of them, and how to examine them and analyze them as we find them.'''<br />
* Conversation which is important to have. Trying to find that conversation. Take Back the Night looked at how the conversation turns towards violence (Especially when a person of color, a woman, or a woman of color) in the US. WHat people aren't often getting are actually words, but instead a photo with words on it, so not classified as hate speech. Platforms can't do anythign about it. That's unsettling to me. Often of lynching.<br />
** Cat and mouse game between those trying to pollute platforms with bad content and the various efforts of actors to push back on that.<br />
** When images are involved, humans have to be in the loop, which is more monentarily and temporily cost intensive.<br />
*** Platforms rely on flags of content for inspection. But the reporting parsing is in part automating. (Tools first, humans second)<br />
*** "Creative license" is also an aspect which is not often discussed. "Someone's creativity" might not be something we like, but it might be "art." One person's art is another person's threat. The target being WoC is not taken seriously.<br />
*** "Gender" as "women's issues" but a lack of cultural competency needs to be included <br />
===Shireen===<br />
About to do a press conference focussing around cyber stalking, particular case of a university student.<br />
Blocking cam campus use on campus to curb cyber stalking. So who is responsible, university or students. e.g the app............which is totally anonymous .<br />
More of the app to be aptured at the conference next week on tuesday. Working on the new SWATting bill, looking for a conversation on reacting and training. Want people trained on when a tool like SWATing in used as harassment tactic.<br />
'''Looking for''': information from these events shared out to networks<br />
==Closing thoughts==<br />
Many of the problems brought up need to be solved by local instatnces, rather than centralized authoritarian moderation. Not just one cat for a lot of mice.<br />
Some of the thoughts I have on safe space is that we're trying to have a community which support self-expression free of judgement and discrimination. But how then do safe spaces change mindsets or cultural problems? When mainstream culture doesn't even acknowledge that these are issues. What kind of large scale changes do we expect?<br />
==Reflections on platform and process==<br />
''Participants can have a running assessment of the platform and process in this area of the notes.''<br />
<br />
Do we want to make this more of a regular thing? Once a month or so? Leave some room for a topic of discussion. Create more time for someone like David to talk about their project. or just to dig in deeper on specific topics, some larger problem worth chewing on as a group<br />
Encouraging folk who don't usually talk to talk more.<br />

2015 October Call
2015-10-20T14:23:59Z
<p>Willow: Created page with ": This was a repeat call, once on October 14th and once on October 19th. It was posted to the [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial Weaponized Social m..."</p>
<hr />
<div>: This was a repeat call, once on October 14th and once on October 19th. It was posted to the [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial Weaponized Social mailing list], to the International Workshop on Misogyny and the Internet list, and to an online harassment taskforce list. The invitation was extended by some on those lists to others who had expressed interest in the topic. We used [http://uberconference.com Uber Conference] to call in, which worked well with an international crowd as it's accessible via phone and browser. Attendees had 2 full working days to review notes before they were transfered to this wiki.<br />
==Overview of how the call will work==<br />
* Agenda (intros of up to 30 seconds about you and your group, then longer updates on projects and organizational statuses, then wrap-up)<br />
* Note taking (we all take notes for each other)<br />
* Time keeping (if you go over, you will first be poked via chat, and then verbally interrupted)<br />
==Introductions (Who's here?)==<br />
''30 seconds each : 15 minutes tops total : who you are, what sorts of stuff you work on, what sort of world you want to live in : If you just spoke, take notes for the person who speaks after you.''<br />
===October 14===<br />
* Willow with Aspiration.<br />
* Meredith with Nuance. Security! Want to live in a world where people have productive disagreements.<br />
* TQ is hanging out with Meredith, but cooking.<br />
* Jolly is a nomad interested in computer security and life extension. Wants to live in a world with tighter communities and less aging/dying.<br />
* Desiree - Hollaback and Heartmob. Free and Equal<br />
* David - working on a book around these issues. Wants less tribalism and more skeptisism<br />
* Chinmayi - Bangalore, Bachchao project. Supports those enabling the fight against gender-based violence. Back to the world with butterflies, fewer humans.<br />
===October 19===<br />
* TQ - spend time with intersting people, half of whom I disagree with. The world I want to live in is one where it's safe to express and discuss unpopular opinions, <br />
* Yvonne - Nairobi Kenya based. Working on initiative called SKIRTS Want a world with more peace and tolerance<br />
* Susan - Works on ways of fostering conversations and reducing threats resulting from those conversations. World of passionate, provocative conversations without causing harm<br />
* Emily Founded and direct the UnSlut project, against sexual shaming and bullying. Online harassment. Working on making these topics palatable and approachable to people who think it doesn't affect them, who coast through life...future I envision is one in which it's trendy, expected, normalized to express ideas online without bringing in peoples' identities (leaving the option not to be scrutinized in that way if people prefer not to be)<br />
* Andrea - works with ToR project. She would like to live a world with less intimidating experiences(?)<br />
* Willow - Wants to live in a world where we can have informed debate, where we combine solidarity with informed critique because we can't have one without the other and be healthy.<br />
* Shireen - Want to live in a world where WoC aren't harassed online and off. Digital Sisters was the first organization to get women and girls of color online and into tech. 15 years later, we're still having that conversation, but now with challenges of these women being attacked Online. The other project is Stop Online Violence Against Women<br />
* Ed - UMich School of Information. Past: i3 Detroit hackerspace, MIT Center for Civic Media. Other interests: equalizing power imbalances, decentralization, nonviolent communication. @elplatt<br />
==Project and Organizational Overviews==<br />
===Fences===<br />
'''Quick summary''' Andrea, TQ, Meredith working on a decentralized dicussion platform. Want it to be censorship resistent, but autonomy respecting. People don't need to host (or even encounter) things they don't want to. Difficult to balance. Draws from Reddit, but even a little further. Reputation systems, how people interact nd how they say what they say. Making votes public and something you can subscribe to. If I downvote a post, I might do so because it's spam or a bad argument, but people who have a social connection to me might want to use my votes to determine what they see. Want to address issue of spam, problem of pile ons. Make it less of a contested space.<br />

People decide that policies on one platform aren't tenable has trouble migrating to another one. Network effects endemic of being social. Is there a way to store these perspectives so you might take different views of it? Moderate out parts of the discussion based on others' opinions, rankings, votes, other meta invormation.

* Need: Frontend side of things. Discussed ideas about how users and sites could present to different people to different effect. Need mockups, visual brainstorming. <br />
** can help with visual brainstorming- chinmayi<br />
===HeartMob===<br />
Launching our product tomorrow. Jill at Sassafrass has been building it, the first round using it will be trusted folk only, but want it to work like it will when open to public.<br />
Platform of people experiencing online harassment or abuse can document, make it private or public, folk who are also logged in can offer to help in various ways. Might write a supportive comment, document the harassment, evenutually there will be a bystander intervention component (butnotin the pilot...?<br />
* Contact: Desiree<br />
* Need: Feedback on how the platform is working. Sending out links with an invitation code tomorrow or later this week. Need people to test out platforms, if it's user friendly, if it's actually helpful, could it be more useful, etc.<br />
** Willow can do a round of feedback, if you need extra folk.<br />
* Need: Feedback from group (please leave your contact somehow so folk can follow up with you, but know these notes end up in a public place).<br />
** Are any of teh users in your pilot going to be the designated asshole? No one has been selected yet. Are there user stories about those folk? We have a moderation policy, do have that worked in to how to talk to folk. Maybe have someone red team it (not dumpign the database, but role playing the asshole)<br />
:: Examples of asshole behavior:<br />
*** Spam<br />
*** False/exaggerated/malicious reports<br />
:: Example user stories:<br />
*** Defamatory Diane is angry at her Ex-girlfriend Ellie, and fabricates a report about Ellie to punish her. -- What can Ellie do?<br />
*** 4chan decides to raid. Channers create hundreds of fake profiles, attempting to overwhelm the site with fake but believable-sounding reports. -- How can the team's resources be directed to real reports rather than fake ones?<br />
* Moderators misusing mod powers<br />
* This is *not* an exhaustive list<br />
** Bachchao has negative user stories as well. Has been critical to development.<br />
** Starter pilot to populate the platform, then pilot more later. Will consider this for that second round.<br />

:''The existing harms of social scripts we ran while in smaller, geographically-constrained groups are being amplified due to network effect. Tiny unchecked errors, scaled, become large harms as people find ways to exploit them, in life just as in software.'' - Meredith<br />
<br />
Weaponized Social is a series of [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Events events], [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial discussion], [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects action], and surrounding community to examine the network effects of [[Social Scripts|human interaction]], to encourage the healthy and to '''de'''[[What is currently going wrong?|weaponize]] the powerful tools at our fingertips. We welcome you to join us at an event, on our mailing list, or to hold space as well.<br />
===About Aspiration===<br />
Weaponized Social is a program area of [http://aspirationtech.org Aspiration]. Aspiration helps nonprofits and foundations use software tools more effectively and sustainably. We serve as ally, coach, strategist, mentor and facilitator to those trying to make more impactful use of information technology in their social change efforts.<br />
<br />
Aspiration has taken on Weaponized Social as an extension of our commitment to solidarity with our community and to equality as mediated by technology. Our work to support more people in their existing efforts by making use of technology brings historically marginalized populations into online space. And as the larger online community welcomes new people into new spaces, we have not only an opportunity, but also an obligation, to do so with more intent and understanding than society has tended to in the past.<br />
<br />

In this wiki, you'll find links to external resources, [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Events events] and their associated notes, and [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects project specs]; all structured within the [[disaster cycle]] framework. All the work and ideas here are open, and done in good faith that healthy action will be carried forward. We hope the collective knowledge accrued here will be useful in building healthy (including dissent) communities online and off. That might be by creating (and enforcing) a Code of Conduct for your community, it might be by installing a plugin to your website, or it might be by going through a self-reflection checklist if you're a part of an escalating exchange.<br />

==The [[disaster cycle]]==<br />
{{Disaster cycle}}<br />
==Events==<br />
* '''[[2015 October Call]]''' : review of ongoing projects, offers to assist.<br />
* '''[[International Workshop on Misogyny and the Internet|2015 June Berkman Center]]''' : the International Workshop for Misogyny and the Internet hosted by Berkman Center was facilitated by Aspiration, but is not a Weaponized Social event. It is listed here for posterity purposes. The 50+ attendees sourced lessons from history; explored a global perspective; detailed the role of humor, of law, and of anonymity; and considered queering data.<br />
* '''[[2015 May San Francisco]]''' : with a focus on the mitigation and re-examination of systems and escalations themselves, this group worked on piecing out aspects of social interaction so as to better intervene, on expressed norms, and on redirecting outrage energy into longer-term interventions.<br />
* '''[[2015 April Nairobi]]''' : our first foray into non-Western-centric viewpoints, the Nairobi group had direct experience with online instigation leading to offline harms. We considered scaffolding for engagement, automation of response, and safe versus free spaces.<br />
* '''[[2015 March San Francisco]]''' (meetup) : a laid-back gathering of interested parties.<br />
* '''[[2015 February New York City]]''' : network theory, safe space guidelines, self reflection guidelines, and a surprisingly populated Venn Diagram overlap between Nonviolent Communication and traditional trolling.<br />
* '''[[2015 January Berkman Center]]''' : the dry run of the topic, the most basic roles and components for a healthy community were discussed as being catalysts, difference, awareness, and norms.<br />

We were joined by a lovely group of folk in the brand-new City Hall, as well as by a handfull of folk via the internet. The spanning of locations went surprisingly smoothly. Thanks to all who attended!<br />
==Spectrogram==<br />
Polarizing statements<br />
<br />
'''"I refuse to engage with people who are not communicating respectfully"'''<br />
<br />
some people *very* strongly agreed with this<br />
<br />
others were half-and-half, "I can always walk away"<br />
<br />
Missed the exact wording, but something about personal technology separating us<br />
<br />
'''"New things are happening in online interaction vs. amplification/extension of existing interactions."'''<br />
<br />
The scale of online interaction requires people to think more quickly<br />
<br />
Hashtags are a sort of immersion we haven't seen much of before<br />
<br />
It's possible to access a lot more types of lived experience more easily now<br />
<br />
==Breakouts==<br />
===Day 1===<br />
* [[Content]] and [[Structures]] were two parallel session to attempt to cognitively separate out what happens ''on'' a platform versus what the ''platform structure'' means in regards to human interaction.<br />
* [[How We People]] covered some games theory, network theory, and how these sorts of signals happen on social media platforms.<br />
* [[Checklist for making safe space]] {{ProjectSafeSpaceChecklist}}<br />
* [[Physical Spaces influcenced by Internets]] had surprisingly little to do with its session title, instead focusing on thresholds at which someone should be expelled, paths to reconciliation, and signaling affordance.<br />
===Day 2===<br />
* [[Unintentional Missteps]] was a session on how to cope with a situation where a well-intentioned person messes up, rather than assuming anyone who breaks rules or norms has ill intent.<br />
* [[Online Non-Verbal Communication]] explored the various vectors for expression beyond text in online spaces, including capitalization, font choice, use of white space, etc.<br />
* [[Non Violent Communication for Neuroatypical]] reviewed both the overlaps of neuroatypical communication tricks (such as "explicit is better than implicit") as well as the lack of overlaps, such as "I feel" statements being disuseful. <br />
* [[Trolling]], as opposed to the abuse which is ''currently'' deemed "trolling," presses social buttons in order to test the black box of interaction. Do we respond to antagonistic comments in ways which are in alignment with our stated values?<br />
* [[Backing up solidarity in a nebulous group]] looked at how dispute resolution happens in a group wherein the members by necessity cannot identify each other.<br />

<div>==[http://facilitation.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=Agenda:Hacking#Generating_the_Universe_of_Topics Universe of Topics]==<br />
===Education===<br />

* how do we document success and lessons for others to learn?<br />
* Getting literacy / competency distributed<br />
* Educating elites/power holders<br />
===Scale Up/Out===<br />
* Framework for effective change, distributing solutions<br />

<br />
===Homeostasis===<br />

* Glorifying learning in public<br />
* individual rights balanced with community health<br />
* Solidarity with critique<br />
* "Free Speech"<br />

* Prosocial UX: how the medium shapes the message<br />
* Front end features<br />
* back end support<br />
* how do you design a social platform to discourage conflict?<br />
* ethical platform/medium experimentation<br />

* Transactional analysis (Games People Play)<br />
<br />
==Discussion Topics==<br />
===[[Social Scripts|What is a social script, anyway?]]===<br />
Kind of important to the whole idea of shifting them, in this discussion we covered what social scripts are to us.<br />
<br />
===[[What is currently going wrong?]]===<br />
Using a facilitation method picked up from Tim Davies, we arced thru what we '''know''', how that makes us '''feel''', what our '''gut''' tells us, and what that means we might '''do'''.<br />
<br />
===[[Components and workarounds of dog piles]]===<br />
Individuals bringing their historical experience to bear on one example of a long-standing issue, without maintaining the sustained attention necessary to actually change the issue.<br />
<br />
===[[Are virtues scalable?]]===<br />
We discussed how communication-targeting virtues and tactics for improving small-scale interactions could be reinterpreted as strategies for larger social environments, with a focus on preventing or interrupting large-scale hostility phenomena without intruding on individual expression.<br />
<br />
===[[Detailing components of communication]]===<br />
We laid out various aspects of how communication and community occur. This will feed into how to build a pro-social platform.<br />
<br />
==Projects==<br />
* [[Communication Karma Score]] : {{ProjectKarmaScore}}<br />
* [[IntrospectionBot]] : {{ProjectIntrospectionBot}}<br />
* [[Visualizing solidarity]] : {{ProjectVisualizingSolidarity}}<br />
* We discussed (and hopefully contributed to) TQ's [[Pro-Social Platform]] as {{ProjectProSocialPlatform}}<br />
* [[Quiz to comment]] : {{ProjectQuizToComment}}<br />
* [[Aggregated comments]] : {{ProjectAggregatedCommets}}<br />
<br />
==Things for further perusal==<br />
* Squelching Plugins : mute anything which matches {predicate}<br />
* Individual accessibility settings : we're ok with Out Of Office responses in emails, why can't we signal that we are stepping away from social media?<br />
* Data-driven introspection for communities and individuals based on data generated from interactions<br />
* Hedging versus accountability<br />
* Saving face<br />
* Different intents of education (providing data) vs correction (proscribing behavior)<br />
* Providing labeling tools for airing grievances<br />
* Handshake before mutually beneficial argument<br />
* spaces for relaxed, civil group chat ("hangouts")<br />
* Sentence structure (conversational style) / word choice (filter bubble) machine learning as curated by an individual<br />
* Introductory / recovery circles or levels<br />
* [https://medium.com/@bjpeters/9-5-theses-toward-internet-reformation-an-anti-manifesto-42eb8e55fdc3 9.5 Theses toward Internet Reformation: An Anti-Manifesto]<br />

<div>==Spectrogram==<br />
'''digital migration is bad for communities'''<br />
: disagree: the world is moving. we should just go with it.<br />
: we shouldn't stay in the dark.<br />
: people should only move on if they want to.<br />
: they'll be more connected. it's accessible even to grandma in rural areas. gives success to everyone.<br />
: economic prospect - we will be paying. <br />
<br />
'''your online identity should be as anonymous as possible'''<br />
: agree: should be anonymous for safety purposes. you never know. there are bad people.<br />
: don't know why a social platform should have anonymity<br />
: your name, DOB, email means 3rd party sites already have a profile which they can create a marketing platform off of. targeted interferes with privacy<br />
: what has anonymity done to us? we want to be able to crack down on the people who are dangerous!<br />
: no reason for anyone to have my business.<br />
<br />
'''should countries be allowed to create nuclear weapons?'''<br />
: recycling plant in Mombasa. whole community just disappearing. nothing is happening. But if we make these weapons, how will we contain that?<br />
: there are enemies. Like al Shabab.<br />
:: but al Shabab isn't Somali. We don't know where to drop it!<br />
: Kenya needs to be a superpower<br />
<br />
==Everything on the wall==<br />
<br />
==Safe Space==<br />
My real name, school, old friends - it's safe because people know who they're talking to.<br />
<br />
Safe space as a WhatsApp channel which is closed. Don't know everyone, but know what's happening.<br />
<br />
Creating tools, self expression. Talking about controversial issues. Speak to people you already know. Have so as many pseudonyms as possible - one for mfailiy, one for political, etc. That helps with safety so you don't rub shoulders in a bad ways.<br />
: but if you're anonymous, how do people find you?<br />
:: if your content is good, people will follow.<br />
<br />
How safe is a safe space?<br />
: woman posted something online, got sacked because her manager saw it.<br />
<br />
Media comments - if you make a comment, 200 people descend on you. <br />
<br />
Pseudonyms can help create that safe space. If you know me as someone kind, and I'm bashing the government, eyebrows raise. I'm this other person who is very calm, cool, and collected. Times I want to be more forthright, to say things... but I step back. Because this government, they'll come for me. <br />
: can limit the level of advocacy, the points you're trying to get across. If you hide behind a different name, you can't sign petitions.<br />
: you can come out as your avatar.<br />
<br />
Ok to adopt more personalities?<br />
: yes. you know who you are. This account is for being a daughter, this one is for being a student...<br />
<br />
Work on accommodating, instead of bashing. If someone says something you disagree with, to have a good conversation. Workshops around changing culture -- just because you disagree with my comment, we can still be civil. Self expression.<br />
: shifting culture takes time. how do you balance that in the meantime?<br />
: trying to accommodate other people's opinions. politicians blocking people they're supposed to be representing!<br />
<br />
Disagree in a respectful way. We know how to react to things. Don't need to escalate - take some time off to release your tension. Self-regulation.<br />
: stepping away isn't always the solution, tho.<br />
<br />
Should be guidelines for interactions.<br />
: open for criticism, you might get bashed, don't take it personally.<br />
<br />
Channels/paths of expression as what creates safe space. Closed groups, mailing lists, etc.<br />
: then you're not expressing yourself freely, only expressing to those who already agree with you.<br />
: hard to find those groups if you're not already in those groups.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cross-platform communication : how to do safety there?<br />
<br />
Moderators for posts<br />
: if it's not relevant, it doesn't get posted.<br />
: sets expectations, rules of engagement<br />
<br />
Saving face<br />
: having online debates means anyone can see it?<br />
: unlikely to admit defeat in an argument when there's an audience<br />
: either apologize or retract when insulting with an audience<br />
: people are much more careful online because of Kenyans On Twitter (#kot)<br />
<br />
Should we quit using certain tools for certain ends?<br />
: openness of platform - we can see what people think and say! As opposed to parliament, where were don't know what people are saying.<br />
: tools are complimentary. take something actionabile offline.<br />
<br />
Ownership of sides - like in sports - it's ''my'' team. Like I play with them. Take that into other spaces -- an argument, suddenly it's you. But there are no rules of engagement.<br />
: following what you see other people doing. see it as possible to yourself.<br />
: all these tools, we teach ourselves. no one is teaching us.<br />
:: people are teaching you even before you join.<br />
<br />
===safe foyer===<br />
Admin taking people into a side bar conversation. Social, not just technical. Ensure people read, understand the information coming up.<br />
: most admins have viewpoints.<br />
: have community moderators.<br />
: but admins have responsibilities.<br />
<br />
It's like a debate, how do ou know which side folk are on?<br />
: debate should only involve the relevant people <br />
<br />
Threshold from foyer to public, if people aren't listening to issues.<br />
<br />
===Conversations about transparency in politics===<br />
need to translate between what happens online and offline.<br />
<br />
===conversations about Somali interactions on Twitter===<br />
Can we make a Storify on both the conversations that stuck to the issues, and a storify of where it was derailed?<br />
<br />
==Breakouts==<br />
<br />
===Mitigating Online Violence===<br />
: How does violence go between online and offline? How should we handle ourselves online? How can we best interact online without offending anyone? Is online escalation different in different locations, or is it all one big internet?<br />
The followers are the ones who escalate the conversations where there are issues with leaders disagreeing. Someone with 300k followers, someone with 83k. How can we make a meaningful conversation out of all the noise being created? Want to introduce is channeling all this to something positive. Want to have a '''live debate''' on google hangout. Track/map the conversations going on -- get the people having the debate around it to directly interact with each other. Filter the noise from the real conversation. People who have the facts, bring them together, have a real conversation. This will help people stop misusing the tools. Bring the conversations to a face-off where we can talk.<br />
<br />
Before you even get to your next tweet, there are conversations happening on the first one. How do we deal with unstructured conversations versus structured?<br />
<br />
Address the issues of a limited tool. Balance of spectators. Calling your audience out if they're escalating.<br />
<br />
Harness positive conversations.<br />
<br />
===Tracking===<br />
Who is watching what I share with my friends on SMS (Airtel, Safaricom, etc)? Can be positive or negative - if someone has been stalking you, and you want to show it, you can access the logs.<br />
: Software you can install on other people's phone so you can see what they're doing. Supposedly to catch cheating partners. Can see what you shared, who you talked to.<br />
How best to filter and track violent communication online?<br />
: Twitter, Facebook, instagram, etc. Can we have an open source algorithm which filters out hate speech etc, but tracks what you didn't have?<br />
Geolocation - is it safe for me to use geolocation?<br />
: It's not safe. Showing where people are clustered for terrorist attacks. Also the metadata increases your vulnerability in online space.<br />
Internet safety other than passwords<br />
: myshadow.org informs you on how you're exposing yourself. Facebook, twitter, etc - who are they selling your data to? But you can also see tools which will help protect your privacy.<br />
: keypass, 1password, etc makes different passwords for each account, while you only remember one.<br />
TV viewership versus privacy - how do you control the content you watch?<br />
: digital migration issues are not just about access, also about security. Can't pay with cash, have to pay with a card linked to your person.<br />
: how can we de-link our email and phone numbers from our viewership?<br />
<br />
===Safe space and tools===<br />
Defining safe space: found a definition (added to [[Checklist for making safe space]], as are many other notes). "The only safe space is when your device is unplugged."<br />
: example of hidden spaces kept safe for gay community. Then how do others find it?<br />
: how long does it last? You might have it in an ongoing way, or based on incidents.<br />
Can we have an open but also safe space?<br />
: If everyone is respecting me, is it just going to be boring?<br />
Safe space so far as sexual harassment.<br />
<br />
How do people get to be included? Just walking in? Have to prove commitment?<br />
: how are people added or excluded?<br />
: how are people re-integrated?<br />
: how do we make sure it doesn't become cliquish?<br />
: how do we know when violations are happening?<br />
Access level of passwords can exclude people. When is that ok, when isn't it?<br />
<br />
How is that data stored?<br />
: right now, Facebook is stored all the way back to 2009. Would safe space mean deleting history over time? But what about patterns of violation of safe space?<br />

! [http://reagle.org/joseph/2013/ok/ok.html Obligation to Know]<br />
| In heavy use by FLOSS communities, and now transferred into geek feminism, this details a need to have a rudimentary understanding of a topic before engaging with those better versed in it. In addition to documenting and sharing information geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. Online feminists, especially geek feminists, are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know. However, in<br />
this community the obligation reflects the increased likelihood of disruptive, or ‘derailing’, questions and a more complex and gendered relationship with stature, as seen in the notions of impostor syndrome, the Unicorn Law, and mansplaining.<br />

| In heavy use by FLOSS communities, and now transferred into geek feminism, this details a need to have a rudimentary understanding of a topic before engaging with those better versed in it. In addition to documenting and sharing information geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. Online feminists, especially geek feminists, are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know. However, in<br />
this community the obligation reflects the increased likelihood of disruptive, or ‘derailing’, questions and a more complex and gendered relationship with stature, as seen in the notions of impostor syndrome, the Unicorn Law, and mansplaining.<br />

:''The existing harms of social scripts we ran while in smaller, geographically-constrained groups are being amplified due to network effect. Tiny unchecked errors, scaled, become large harms as people find ways to exploit them, in life just as in software.'' - Meredith<br />
<br />
Weaponized Social is a series of [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Events events], [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial discussion], [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects action], and surrounding community to examine the network effects of [[Social Scripts|human interaction]], to encourage the healthy and to '''de'''[[What is currently going wrong?|weaponize]] the powerful tools at our fingertips. We welcome you to join us at an event, on our mailing list, or to hold space as well.<br />
===About Aspiration===<br />
Weaponized Social is a program area of [http://aspirationtech.org Aspiration]. Aspiration helps nonprofits and foundations use software tools more effectively and sustainably. We serve as ally, coach, strategist, mentor and facilitator to those trying to make more impactful use of information technology in their social change efforts.<br />
<br />
Aspiration has taken on Weaponized Social as an extension of our commitment to solidarity with our community and to equality as mediated by technology. Our work to support more people in their existing efforts by making use of technology brings historically marginalized populations into online space. And as the larger online community welcomes new people into new spaces, we have not only an opportunity, but also an obligation, to do so with more intent and understanding than society has tended to in the past.<br />
<br />
===How to get involved===<br />
* '''Join the conversation''' via the [https://lists.aspirationtech.org/lists/info/weaponizedsocial mailing list].<br />
* '''Join at an event''' by either joining the mailing list, or [http://mailto:weaponizedsocial@aspirationtech.org emailing your interest to us].<br />
* '''Assisting [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects projects] listed here''' in a variety of ways, as linked to from or below the project.<br />
* '''Contribute to this wiki''' by making edits and new pages!<br />
ALERT: Due to ongoing spam problems, we have had to disable anonymous editing and self-service account creation. <br />
We ABSOLUTELY welcome contributions to this wiki; please contact info@aspirationtech.org to request an account. <br />
We apologize for the hassle!<br />
<br />
===How to use this wiki===<br />
In this wiki, you'll find links to external resources, [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Events events] and their associated notes, and [https://weaponizedsocial.aspirationtech.org/index.php5?title=Category:Projects project specs]; all structured within the [[disaster cycle]] framework. All the work and ideas here are open, and done in good faith that healthy action will be carried forward. We hope the collective knowledge accrued here will be useful in building healthy (including dissent) communities online and off. That might be by creating (and enforcing) a Code of Conduct for your community, it might be by installing a plugin to your website, or it might be by going through a self-reflection checklist if you're a part of an escalating exchange.<br />
<br />
==The [[disaster cycle]]==<br />
{{Disaster cycle}}<br />
==Events==<br />
* '''[[International Workshop on Misogyny and the Internet|2015 June Berkman Center]]''' : the International Workshop for Misogyny and the Internet hosted by Berkman Center was facilitated by Aspiration, but is not a Weaponized Social event. It is listed here for posterity purposes. The 50+ attendees sourced lessons from history; explored a global perspective; detailed the role of humor, of law, and of anonymity; and considered queering data.<br />
* '''[[2015 May San Francisco]]''' : with a focus on the mitigation and re-examination of systems and escalations themselves, this group worked on piecing out aspects of social interaction so as to better intervene, on expressed norms, and on redirecting outrage energy into longer-term interventions.<br />
* '''[[2015 April Nairobi]]''' : our first foray into non-Western-centric viewpoints, the Nairobi group had direct experience with online instigation leading to offline harms. We considered scaffolding for engagement, automation of response, and safe versus free spaces.<br />
* '''[[2015 March San Francisco]]''' (meetup) : a laid-back gathering of interested parties.<br />
* '''[[2015 February New York City]]''' : network theory, safe space guidelines, self reflection guidelines, and a surprisingly populated Venn Diagram overlap between Nonviolent Communication and traditional trolling.<br />
* '''[[2015 January Berkman Center]]''' : the dry run of the topic, the most basic roles and components for a healthy community were discussed as being catalysts, difference, awareness, and norms.<br />

| In<br />
heavy use by FLOSS communities, and now transferred into geek feminism, this details a need to have a rudimentary understanding of a topic before engaging with those better versed in it. In addition to documenting and sharing information geek culture has a complementary norm obliging others to educate themselves on rudimentary topics. Online feminists, especially geek feminists, are similarly beset by naive or disruptive questions and demonstrate and further their geekiness through the deployment of the obligation to know. However, in<br />
this community the obligation reflects the increased likelihood of disruptive, or ‘derailing’, questions and a more complex and gendered relationship with stature, as seen in the notions of impostor syndrome, the Unicorn Law, and mansplaining.<br />

intentions of the interjector are considered vastly different.<br />
: Panzagar began by creating a meme. A person (usually a cute young<br />

a flower in her mouth. Taking a cue from this symbolic commitment not to<br />
use or tolerate speech that can “spread hate among people,” as Nay Phone<br />

within days of its creation, and many have posted photographs of<br />

signaling for being a good conversational partner, for using logical<br />
fallacies, etc<br />
<br />
[[Visualizing solidarity]] : when outrage happens online, it's often<br />
because people are dog piling on an exemplar of a historical issue,<br />
rather than using the moment of attention to direct energy towards<br />
understanding and addressing the historical issue.<br />

Distributed Denial of Service]''' : DDoS'ing is the use of many machines<br />
to constantly ping one server (or a set of servers), in order to bring<br />
down that site or network. Used both in activism and in general attacks.<br />
: Matt says: "Russia is not the first to use flame wars and public<br />
shaming as a tool to silence critics. And in their attacks and others I<br />
see similarities to DDOS style attacks in the internet. Reflector<br />
attacks in networks make use of loud commonly accessible services such<br />
as dns to overload communications with noise. Tying issues into other<br />
issues through fallacy or other exploitative means as a way to force<br />
bipartisanship and offense works similarly as a tactic."<br />

We were joined by a lovely group of folk in the brand-new City Hall, as well as by a handfull of folk via the internet. The spanning of locations went surprisingly smoothly. Thanks to all who attended!<br />
==Spectrogram==<br />
Polarizing statements<br />
<br />
'''"I refuse to engage with people who are not communicating respectfully"'''<br />
<br />
some people *very* strongly agreed with this<br />
<br />
others were half-and-half, "I can always walk away"<br />
<br />
Missed the exact wording, but something about personal technology separating us<br />
<br />
'''"New things are happening in online interaction vs. amplification/extension of existing interactions."'''<br />
<br />
The scale of online interaction requires people to think more quickly<br />
<br />
Hashtags are a sort of immersion we haven't seen much of before<br />
<br />
It's possible to access a lot more types of lived experience more easily now<br />
<br />
==Breakouts==<br />
===Day 1===<br />
* [[Content]] and [[Structures]] were two parallel session to attempt to cognitively separate out what happens ''on'' a platform versus what the ''platform structure'' means in regards to human interaction.<br />
* [[How We People]] covered some games theory, network theory, and how these sorts of signals happen on social media platforms.<br />
* [[Checklist for making safe space]] {{ProjectSafeSpaceChecklist}}<br />
* [[Physical Spaces influcenced by Internets]] had surprisingly little to do with its session title, instead focusing on thresholds at which someone should be expelled, paths to reconciliation, and signaling affordance.<br />
===Day 2===<br />
* [[Unintentional Missteps]] was a session on how to cope with a situation where a well-intentioned person messes up, rather than assuming anyone who breaks rules or norms has ill intent.<br />
* [[Online Non-Verbal Communication]] explored the various vectors for expression beyond text in online spaces, including capitalization, font choice, use of white space, etc.<br />
* [[Non Violent Communication for Neuroatypical]] reviewed both the overlaps of neuroatypical communication tricks (such as "explicit is better than implicit") as well as the lack of overlaps, such as "I feel" statements being disuseful. <br />
* [[Trolling]], as opposed to the abuse which is ''currently'' deemed "trolling," presses social buttons in order to test the black box of interaction. Do we respond to antagonistic comments in ways which are in alignment with our stated values?<br />
* [[Backing up solidarity in a nebulous group]] looked at how dispute resolution happens in a group wherein the members by necessity cannot identify each other.<br />
<br />
==Projects==<br />
* [[Wielding the Privilege Sword]] begins to spec out what to do as a person of privilege, in order to increase equality in the world.<br />
* [[How to Critique Me]] lays out options for paths for others to express discomfort or concern with your actions or words in a way you are able to hear, and hopefully improve.<br />
* [[Guide for Supporting Activism]] {{ProjectSuportingActivism}}<br />
* [[Self-Awareness Checklist]] {{ProjectHowToCritiqueMe}}<br />
