The advent of the Internet era has increased the ways for people to participate in political life and online media has become a force that cannot be ignored in fight against corruption. How to use social media for effective online anti-corruption constitutes a major problem. Based on the Multi-value set analysis method, this article analyzes the anti-corruption cases that have occurred on social networks from 2008 to the present. A total of three invalid paths and seven effective paths for Internet anti-corruption are obtained. The path is more effective that whistleblower has direct contact with the officials and the officials at the bureau rank. The whistleblower has no contact with the officials and the official’s rank is at low level, which is more likely to fail. The future development direction is to use technology to empower anti-corruption and to carry out anti-corruption through emerging social media. The government should take an institutionalized path to promote the sound operation of online anti-corruption.

Средства массовой информации с развитием интернета из традиционных трансформировались в интернет-СМИ, в которые входят и новостные страницы в социальных сетях «Вконтакте», «Инстаграм», «Телеграм». Чтение новостей является одной из основных целей использования интернета и социальных сетей, что приводит к популярности агрегаторов новостных сообщений. Социальные сети отличаются от традиционных СМИ своей интерактивностью и большей зависимостью от читателей, поскольку успешность страницы зависит от вовлеченности аудитории, особенно от количества комментариев. Администраторы страниц заинтересованы в публикации новостей, вызывающих реакцию и споры. События, освещаемые на новостных страницах, затем переходят в другие сообщества, где продолжается их обсуждение. По отклику пользователей интернета на различные темы можно определять общее настроение общества. В дагестанских социальных сетях вопрос семейно-брачных отношений поднимается часто, к тому же эта тема стимулируется публикацией новостных сообщений о соотношении браков и разводов в республике. Так как большей частью активных пользователей социальных сетей является молодежь, анализ их мнений по вопросу семейных отношений может помочь в понимании будущего семьи в регионе. По результатам контент-анализа комментариев под постами о браках и разводах можно говорить о том, что, помимо личных, основными причинами как разводов, так и снижения количества заключаемых браков являются финансовая нестабильность, а также изменение общества и нахождение его на стыке архаизации и модернизации. Количество заключаемых браков в Дагестане снижается, тогда как количество разводов остается приблизительно на одном уровне, хотя СМИ сосредотачивают внимание в своих публикациях на разводах, формируя определенную картину мира у читателей. With the development of the Internet, the media has transformed from its traditional forms of newspapers and television into online-media, which also includes news profiles on the social networks such as Vkontakte, Instagram, and Telegram. Reading news is one of the main purposes of using the internet and social media, which leads to the popularity of news aggregators. Social networks differ from traditional media in their interactivity and greater dependence on readers, since the success of a profile is based on the engagement of the audience namely, of chief relevance is the number of comments. Administrators of social media profiles would more likely publish news that generates reactions and controversy. Events covered on the news profiles are then transferred to other social media pages, where they continue to be discussed. The general mood of the society can be determined by the response of Internet users to various topics. The issue of family and marriage relations is often raised in Dagestan based social media profiles and pages. This topic is stimulated by the publication of news reports on the ratio of marriages and divorces in the republic. Since the majority of active users of social networks are young people, analyzing their views on the issue of marital relations can help to understand the future of the family in the region. Based on the results of the content analysis of the comments under the posts about marriages and divorces, we can say that, in addition to personal factors, the main reasons for high number of divorces and a decrease in the number of marriages are financial instability, as well as a change in society and its transition to modernization. The number of marriages in Dagestan is declining, while the number of divorces remains approximately at the same level, although the media focuses its attention on divorces, forming a certain picture of the world among readers.

The article discusses the influences of ICT mass usage, specially the Internet, on citizen's relations with the government and urban space. Recent advances on ICT are encouraging new forms of socialization, consumption, production, citizenship, and activism. Citizens are showing willingness to act and influence urban structures. They organize themselves in the virtual world, but think and act on the physical space. Brazilian examples of public manifestations and online activism initiatives originated or supported by social media and social networks illustrate the theory around ICT. The article concludes that new interfaces are emerging between citizens, the government, and urban spaces.

Klungkung Regency is not only famous for producing songket and endek fabrics, but there are still many other Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that have been born and developed there. Semarapura Kaja Village is one of the MSME centers which certainly has a lot of potential that must be supported and developed so that it can become bigger and more independent. However, not all of these MSMEs have adequate capital, strategies, and support to be able to develop rapidly so that synergy and collaboration with the government and other parties are needed to overcome these problems. One solution that can be offered is to carry out promotional activities with interactive advertising language to attract consumer interest through online media in the hope of expanding market share and of course increasing income for MSME in Semarapura Kaja Village. This Community Partnership Program (PKM) educates and assists MSME to create good promotion and marketing strategies, either through print or online media. Assistance in optimizing the use of interactive advertising language in making online advertisements for superior products in Semarapura Kaja Village is targeting MSME who sell Balinese traditional clothing as one of the characteristics of Klungkung Regency which is the center of MSME traditional clothing. In its implementation, it was found that people are still very ignorant not only about advertising language but also with how to create, manage, and develop social media for promotion because there are still social media such as: Instagram and Facebook that are not effective and even not active in uploading content so that the form of implementation of assistance is direct and not in groups to maximize the results. MSMEs that are partners in the Community Partnership Program (PKM) are Dex's Pong and Tri Arta Collection. MSME have been assisted to socialize the importance of professionally managed social media with interactive advertising language, how to create attractive visual content for potential customers, to the importance of publication in print or online media. It is hoped that MSME will be able to consciously and independently promote their products in the future through the media consistently and continuously.

One of the pillars of connected government is citizen centricity: an approach in which citizen participation is essential. In Mexico, social networks are currently one of the most important means by which citizens express their needs and provide opinions to the government. The goal of this chapter is to contribute to citizen centricity by adapting the methodology of sentiment analysis of social media posts to an expanded version for crisis situations. The main difference in this approach from the normally accepted one is that instead of using pre-defined classes (positive and negative) for sentiments, the authors first determined the different data categories and then applied them to the classic process of sentiment analysis. This approach was tested using posts on Mexico's earthquake in 2017. They found that needs, demands, and claims made in the posts reflect sentiments in a better way, and this can help to improve the government-citizen connection.

Most computers during the Second World War, such as the British code-breaking Colussus machine, had been developed for military use. The effects on law and order and war and peace of computerization, worldwide telecommunications, social media, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics is the topic of Chapter 6. As in Chapter 5, the most compelling visions of the potential opportunities and dangers have been in science fiction and in film; we begin the chapter by reviewing some memorable examples. We then discuss how technology is used by the police, such as the use of video evidence to sometimes exonerate the police against false accusations of needless brutality. We also examine how citizens are using social media to protect themselves and alert others to what they believe is unwarranted violence or unjust actions by law enforcement. We expand upon Section 5.7’s discussion of citizen mobilization by social media with the goal of regime change. In this context, we discuss how the government (especially police and security services) gains leverage via the surveillance of the digital information and communications of citizens. This surveillance has significantly increased due to security concerns post-9/11. We will examine these developments in the USA, Canada, and the UK, as well as in other parts of the world. We shall also discuss cases of organizations trying to subvert societies that repress and forbid access to the internet, with the goal of enabling its citizens to access the internet freely. Next, we consider ways in which tools of digital disruption are used by a country or government or a set of individuals against others. The timely and current case study explored is on governmental use of hacking and other aggressive digital means to interfere with the electoral processes of another country, or even to disrupt or destabilize the other country. At the extreme, governments engage in cyberterrorism or even cyberwar­fare. We shall discuss several recent examples of this and argue that weapons of cyberwar­fare could be as catastrophic as nuclear or biological weapons. The technology of warfare has also evolved.
