Using three key news items, this paper begins with a brief assessment of how the digital landscape has impacted the Canadian language services industry, with specific attention given to the relationship between social media and translation. While social media has generally created new opportunities for language experts (the "good"), it is our hypothesis that there remains a significant lack of consilience between these two academic disciplines and industry sectors (the "bad"). We believe that by underscoring the common ground between Translation Studies (TS) and Social Media Studies (SMS) (the "interdisciplinary"), we may find ways of 'augmenting' [1] the status and role of professional human translators. A literature survey of the journal Social Media + Society (all issues from 2015-2017) shows that translation---which is central or at least related to online communication---is never addressed head-on, serving as an illustration of the lack of disciplinary dialogue between TS and SMS. As a way of starting and/or encouraging a more overt disciplinary dialogue, we explore three specific areas that will serve as the basis for an on-going research project on the subject of translation and social media: 1) the value-added of professional translators in the context of social media monitoring; 2) self-translation phenomena on social platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter; and, finally, 3) the necessity of human intervention in the translation of 'new' social languages such as Emoji. While empirical investigation is on-going, we believe this exploratory qualitative research speaks to anyone interested in intercultural communication in online settings (specifically on social media). The research can also be of interest to social platforms developers looking to embed translation applications within these platforms to optimize the user's experience. We leverage the methodological framework of Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS) and context-oriented research to better understand and chart translation phenomena in social media contexts.
本文使用三个关键新闻项目，首先简要评估了数字景观如何影响加拿大语言服务行业，并特别关注社交媒体与翻译之间的关系。虽然社交媒体通常为语言专家(“好的”)创造了新的机会，但我们的假设是，这两个学科和行业部门(“坏的”)之间仍然严重缺乏一致性。我们相信，通过强调翻译研究(TS)和社交媒体研究(SMS)(“跨学科”)之间的共同点，我们可以找到“增强”专业人类翻译的地位和作用的方法。《社交媒体+社会》(Social Media + Society)杂志(2015-2017年所有期刊)的一项文献调查显示，翻译是在线交流的核心或至少与在线交流有关，但从未得到正面解决，这说明了TS和SMS之间缺乏学科对话。作为开始和/或鼓励更公开的学科对话的一种方式，我们探索了三个具体领域，这些领域将作为正在进行的翻译和社交媒体主题研究项目的基础:1)专业翻译在社交媒体监测背景下的增值;2) Instagram、Facebook、Twitter等社交平台的自翻译现象;最后，3)人工干预“新”社交语言(如Emoji)翻译的必要性。虽然实证调查仍在进行中，但我们相信，这一探索性质的研究对任何对在线环境(特别是社交媒体)中的跨文化交流感兴趣的人都有帮助。这项研究也可以引起社交平台开发商的兴趣，他们希望在这些平台中嵌入翻译应用程序，以优化用户体验。我们利用描述性翻译研究(DTS)和情境导向研究的方法框架来更好地理解和图表社交媒体背景下的翻译现象。

Social media hold enormous potential for sexuality education and sexual health promotion among young people given the audience reach and interactive functions that could be adapted for intervention delivery. This paper reports the preliminary findings of an ongoing research project on the use of social media as a platform for peer sexual communication, by exploring the nature of content posted on Facebook confession pages. We collected 2186 original posts rom one of these semi-anonymous peer exchanges, a Facebook "sex secrets" page popular with college students in Hong Kong. Analysis revealed that conventional sexual activities within the context of romantic heterosexual relationships were most frequently mentioned in the posts. Problematic or risky sexual activities such as hook-ups (spontaneous casual sex) and sexting that are common among American college students were not salient. Nevertheless, the sexual culture of Hong Kong college students was not without peculiarities. Fetish or roleplay, for instance, was mentioned thrice as often as sexting. Findings on intimate concerns illuminate the needs and gaps in sexuality education and sexual health knowledge.

The paper reports on a series of data literacy workshops for young people ages 11 to 17, held in three Pittsburgh-area public libraries during Fall 2016. The workshops, called Data Silhouettes, served two purposes. First, as a mechanism for examining young peoples' understandings of their data worlds and secondly, to pilot test a library-based learning experience designed to reveal the relationship between social media behaviour and the data traces left behind.

Although there is research on selfie-related behaviour via social media, many questions remain about the relationships between traditional mass media and new media use, creating and sharing selfies, and using selfies for relationship maintenance. In this study, we outline links between traditional media consumption and new media use, and explicate specific dimensions of the selfie including aesthetic appeal and picture composition. Individual differences - including contingencies of self-worth, attachment insecurity levels, and life satisfaction- were used to explain taking and sharing behaviour. Results show that the appearance-based contingency of self-worth, whereby individuals peg their self-esteem to their looks, explains individual focus on image and selfies. In addition, Snapchat is a significantly more popular platform for sharing selfies, as opposed to Facebook. Surprisingly, men take and share more selfies, compared to women. Results are discussed in terms of online self-disclosure, and suggestions for future research are offered.

This study examines user comments of radio talk show call-ins and the corresponding digital discussion forums comments for National Public Radio's (NPR) show On Point. While both media platforms are anonymous and moderated rigorously by NPR staff, the nature and content of the comments in both are vastly different. A frequency analysis followed by critical discourse analysis of the content suggests that the percentage civility of the content in both media, when measured through Papacharissi [1] coding scheme, is very similar. However, the study shows difference in inclusivity, variety of content and degree of incivility. The study further hints that the role of moderator, the role of screener, and the difference in the location of time gap or time lag between the generation of content and the public release of content in final form may be possible reasons that contribute to the difference in nature of interaction in the two 'faceless' mediated discursive spaces.

This study uses the 2015 Canadian Federal election as a case study to examine whether Twitter is used to spread locally relevant political news in Canadian communities outside major urban centres in the month leading up to an election. We examined eight communities across Canada, each with differing levels of traditional local media access (television, radio, and print). We wanted to discover, particularly in communities underserved by traditional local media, whether Twitter would help to fill an information gap during election time by helping to spread locally relevant political information. Preliminary analysis has revealed that most information shared on Twitter accounts in our eight communities was national rather than local in scope. Influencers, as identified by the number of @-mentions, tended to be national, rather than local, and general activity on Twitter did not reflect overall population of an area, or any specific locally important issue. Thus we conclude that despite its potential, Twitter is currently not a useful counterbalance for a declining local traditional news environment in smaller communities across Canada.

Vaccine misinformation on social media poses significant drawbacks to the efforts of vaccine coverage rates. This research studies the interlinkages between pro- and anti-vaccine YouTube videos to help public health professionals explore new ways to reach anti-vaccine and vaccine-hesitant audiences. Using YouTube's API, we retrieved 9,489 recommended videos from 250 seeds using keywords such as "vaccines" and its derivatives. We then manually identified 1,984 videos directly related to vaccination and then categorized their vaccine sentiment into pro-, anti-, and neutral. Results show that 65.02% of the videos were anti-vaccine, and only 20.87% were pro-vaccine, 14.11% were neutral. Anti-vaccine videos were significantly more prevalent in the "News & Politics" and "People & Blogs" video categories; while pro-vaccine videos were more prevalent in the "Education" and "Science & Technology" categories. Results also showed that anti-vaccine sentiment videos have higher values of closeness centrality (p<0.05), suggesting that watching an anti-vaccine video will likely lead to more anti-vaccine video recommendations. Moreover, videos that had more dislikes than likes (dislike/like ratio) are positively related to pro-vaccine videos (OR=3.912), suggesting that pro-vaccine videos are more ill-received on YouTube than anti-vaccine videos. This study is the first to examine the network of vaccine-related videos on YouTube and their centralities. The results highlight some possible limitations of YouTube-based vaccination awareness campaigns and also emphasize the need to diversify how YouTube makes its recommendations to help viewers break out of the anti-vaccine "bubble."

We present the results of a between-subjects survey with 459 participants to gather opinions of privacy and how such online content should impact job candidates and political candidates, respectively. Our analysis explores differences between the two scenarios, and whether demographic characteristics influence users' perspectives towards politicians and/or employees. Overall, respondents were less tolerant of the online activities of political candidates. We conclude the paper with a discussion of how the concept of online privacy is evolving in this age of social media.

This paper explores the process of collective crisis problem-solving in the darkweb. We conducted a preliminary study on one of the Tor-based darkweb forums, during the shutdown of two marketplaces. Content analysis suggests that distrust permeated the forum during the marketplace shutdowns. We analyzed the debates concerned with suspicious claims and conspiracies. The results suggest that a black-market crisis potentially offers an opportunity for cyber-intelligence to disrupt the darkweb by engendering internal conflicts. At the same time, the study also shows that darkweb members were adept at reaching collective solutions by sharing new market information, more secure technologies, and alternative routes for economic activities.
