The social media space has evolved into a large labyrinth of information exchange platform and due to the growth in the adoption of different social media platforms, there has been an increasing wave of interests in sentiment analysis as a paradigm for the mining and analysis of users’ opinions and sentiments based on their posts. In this paper, we present a review of contextual sentiment analysis on social media entries with a specific focus on Twitter. The sentimental analysis consists of two broad approaches which are machine learning which uses classification techniques to classify text and is further categorized into supervised learning and unsupervised learning; and the lexicon-based approach which uses a dictionary without using any test or training data set, unlike the machine learning approach.

The COVID-19 pandemic is revealing that global big tech platforms and social media are core sites for continuous engagement with crisis content for young citizens. This study included twenty-four countries from all continents at the time of the heightened COVID-19 crisis, and our survey targeted 18-40 year olds, Millennials and Gen Zs – overall n = 23,483 respondents. Outcomes show that for young citizens across continents, crisis communication is not just about press briefings. Instead, crisis communication is continuous interaction and engagement across their multiple source environments. Young citizens navigate social media, national media, search sites and messaging apps, they engage with peer communities, science and health experts and – across all countries – substantially with the social media content of the World Health Organization (WHO). Overall, they create their own individual crisis narrative based on the sources they use and the insights they select. This report outlines these new crisis communication dimensions within a transnational social media space and offers numerous suggestions for incorporating social media in crisis response strategies.

This chapter explores how Māori and Indigenous communities are engaging in social media in ways that reflect their cultural aspirations and Indigenous ways of being. Social media provides opportunities for Indigenous people to represent an Indigenous worldview that encompasses cultural, political, and social preferences. Highlighted also in this chapter are the risks inherent within the use of social media for Māori and Indigenous communities: in ways in which the misrepresentation, commodification, and exploitation of Indigenous culture and traditions are amplified through the use of social media that support colonial ideologies and the ongoing practice of colonization.

AbstractWith the globalization of data, online social media plays an active role in spreading information and classifying people, and thinking about how to break the solidification of algorithms becomes critical. Current algorithmic research in the social media space often focuses on a single service or language, mainly due to the lack of a way to connect the different bubbles. The panel speakers described their various research activities in which they presented different perspectives on how to break the bubble. This article provides a summary of this interactive panel.

RESUMO As manifestações de rua ocorridas, com intensidade, em junho de 2013 no Brasil, podem ser vistas como fenômeno social-comunicativo para os quais é preciso olhar sem apego e de forma reflexiva. Uma das possibilidades de leitura sobre esse fenômeno diz respeito a uma possível crise na democracia representativa, sendo esta a premissa que embasa esse artigo. Para melhor estabelecer essa conexão, juntamos bibliografias, depoimentos, análises, entrevistas, não apenas sobre as manifestações, mas também sobre as plataformas nas quais foram geradas - as mídias sociais, espaço de uma cultura nova, tanto em termos tecnológicos como território de renovações ideológicas e políticas.Palavras-chave: Democracia representativa; Comunicação; Cibercultura; Determinismo tecnológico; Mídias sociais.               ABSTRACT The street protests that occurred intensively in June 2013 in Brazil can be considered as a socio-communicative phenomenon to be observed in a detached but reflexive manner. One reading of the phenomenon concerns a possible crisis in representative democracy, which is the premise that defined this article. To better establish this connection, we gathered bibliographies, statements, reviews, interviews, not only about the protests, but also concerning the platforms on which they were generated – the social media, space of a new culture, both in terms of technology and as a field of ideological and political renewal.Keywords: Representative democracy; Communication; Cyberculture; Technological determinism; Social media.
