AMCIS 2022 CFP - Mini-track: Dark Side of Virtual Collaborative
Environments: Fake News, Rumors, and Other Unintended
Consequences.
Minneapolis August 10-14, 2022
Mini-track: Dark Side of Virtual Collaborative Environments: Fake
News, Rumors, and Other Unintended Consequences.
Track: Virtual Collaborative Environments
Virtual communities enabled by social media are providing new
opportunities for people to engage with each other. Recently, such
engagements have been exploited to spread fake news, rumors,
biased reporting, or for promoting unsupported viewpoints. Such
interactions have the potential to significantly influence the
discourse of social, political, moral, or economic debate. It
cannot be denied that virtual communities hold a lot of potential
for beneficial and positive engagement among the community members
but there is a need to examine some of these unintended
consequences prevalent in virtual communities.
The objective of this mini-track is to provide a forum for
discussion and presentation of original research highlighting some
of these unintended consequences and subsequent challenges/or
solutions to deal with them. We seek papers that address nature of
unintended consequence of engagements in virtual communities from
a theoretical, conceptual, or empirical perspective. Both
quantitative and qualitative studies are welcome
Mini-track topics are therefore focused on but not limited to the
following list.
* Cyberbullying, cyber-aggression, and unwanted contact
* Harassment, intimidation and stalking
* Damaged reputation due to rumors or gossips
* Online deception
* Sex and violence
* Inadvertent disclosure of private information
* Changes to relationships between public and private sphere
* Suppression of alternate viewpoints
* Promotion of narratives disconnected from facts
* Data mining in virtual communities for malicious intent
* Use of personal data by third-parties, hacking and identify
theft
