The internet raises substantial challenges for policy makers in regulating gambling harm. The proliferation of gambling advertising on Twitter is one such challenge. However, the sheer scale renders it extremely hard to investigate using conventional techniques. In this paper the authors present three UK Twitter gambling advertising studies using both Big Data analytics and manual content analysis to explore the volume and content of gambling adverts, the age and engagement of followers, and compliance with UK advertising regulations. They analyse 890k organic adverts from 417 accounts along with data on 620k followers and 457k engagements (replies and retweets). They find that around 41,000 UK children follow Twitter gambling accounts, and that two-thirds of gambling advertising Tweets fail to fully comply with regulations. Adverts for eSports gambling are markedly different from those for traditional gambling (e.g. on soccer, casinos and lotteries) and appear to have strong appeal for children, with 28% of engagements with eSports gambling ads from under 16s. The authors make six policy recommendations: spotlight eSports gambling advertising; create new social-media-specific regulations; revise regulation on content appealing to children; use technology to block under-18s from seeing gambling ads; require ad-labelling of organic gambling Tweets; and deploy better enforcement.

Big data is a relatively new concept that refers to the enormous amount of data generated in a new era where people are selling, buying, paying dues, managing their health and communicating over the internet. It becomes natural that generated data will be analyzed for the purposes of smart advertising and social statistical studies. Social data analytics is the concept of micro-studying users interactions through data obtained often from social networking services, the concept also known as “social mining” offers tremendous opportunities to support decision making through recommendation systems widely used by e-commerce mainly. With these new opportunities comes the problematic of social media users privacy concerns as protecting personal information over the internet has become a controversial issue among social network providers and users. In this study we identify and describe various privacy concerns and related platforms as well as the legal frameworks governing the protection of personal information in different jurisdictions. Furthermore we discuss the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica Ltd incident as an example.
