ENCASE Enhancing security and privacy in the social web: a user-centered approach for the protection of minors. https://encase.socialcomputing.eu/

ENCASE will leverage the latest advances in usable security and privacy to design and implement a browser-based architecture for the protection of minors from malicious actors in online social networks. The ENCASE user-centric architecture will consist of three distinct services, which can be combined to form an effective protective net against cyberbullying and sexually abusive acts: a) a browser

add-on with its corresponding scalable back-end software stack that collects the users’ online actions to unveil incidents of aggressive or distressed behavior; b) a browser add-on with its associated scalable software stack that analyses social web data to detect fraudulent and fake activity and alert the user; and c) a browser add-on that detects when a user is about to share sensitive content (e.g., photos or address information) with an inappropriate audience and warns the user or his parents of the imminent privacy threat. The third add-on has usable controls that enable users to protect their content by suggesting suitable access lists, by watermarking, and by securing the content via cryptography or steganography. The three browser add-ons and the back-end social web data analytics software stack will be assessed with user studies and piloting activities and will be released to the public. The foundation of the research and innovation activities will be a diligently planned inter-sectorial and interdisciplinary secondment program for Experienced and Early Stage Researchers that fosters knowledge exchange. The academic partners will contribute know-how on user experience assessment, large-scale data processing, machine learning and data-mining algorithm design, and content confidentiality techniques. The industrial partners will primarily offer expertise in production-grade software development, access to real-world online social network data, and access to numerous end-users through widely deployed products.

MedDMO’s latest qualitative evaluation focuses on how Meta, Google, and TikTok implement the Code of Practice on Disinformation from January 1st to June 30th, 2023. This in-depth analysis, based on their CoP reports from July 2023, sheds light on the actions taken by these platforms to combat misinformation in Cyprus, Greece, and Malta. The study monitors these platforms' policies, practices, and tools to combat misinformation, and assesses their effectiveness and accessibility to diverse audiences. This is a crucial step in understanding and mitigating the impact of misinformation in these digital ecosystems.

"A BBC investigation into the increasingly popular live video chat website Omegle has found what appear to be prepubescent boys explicitly touching themselves in front of strangers."

Omegle links up random people for virtual video and text chats, and claims to be moderated.
