As people's lives become more reliant on Online Social Networks (OSN), ensuring the security and protection of their personal information has become critical. These platforms expose users to possible security flaws and privacy violations, like identity theft, even while they provide a variety of tools for communication and interest sharing. This paper is a survey paper that examines the security concerns of online social networks, such as Sybil attacks, in which phony identities threaten integrity; identity theft, which exploits personal information; and de-anonymization, which exposes user identities. Furthermore, it provides a thorough examination of Blockchain technology as a dependable solution to these security issues. Furthermore, this study finds the best secure solutions by evaluating various Blockchain platforms such as Steem, Hive, Sapien, and Ethereum. The findings reveal that Blockchain technology provides a robust and effective security framework for safeguarding online social networks, offering enhanced protection against various OSN attacks.

“…Unlike traditional online social networks (OSNs) such as Facebook and Twitter, BOSMs provide users with more autonomy. Users have more control over their personal information and publicly available content [187], which allows them more control over the dissemination of their data and content [151]. Strong ownership gives users more control over their data, while limiting the ability of platforms to monetize user data as a commodity [34].…”

Faced with the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, governments must protect the well-being of the population. Aside from considerations, such as keeping the virus from spreading and treating patients, the government should also be concerned about the mental health of its citizens during the epidemic. This study aimed to help users who develop depression due to COVID-19 on social media, reduce the cost of counselling, and reduce the need for users to visit the hospital for counselling. This study investigated the opportunities for blockchain technology to provide psychological help to social media users suffering from depression caused by the pandemic. Blockchain-based technology has been used to develop a new model that enables a user autonomy system to allow users to control their own data fully. The model utilizes a delegated proof of stake consensus blockchain to manage depression data to enable low cost and information security while discussing aspects related to trust, privacy, interoperability, and integration with other information communication technologies. The blockchain framework has been proven to provide secure and reliable information management that meets the user requirements for information autonomy. The framework can be combined with various other information technologies to extend its functionality further. Blockchain, privacy, user autonomy, depression, social media. INDEX TERMS

Systematic Review of Misinformation in Social and Online Media for the Development of an Analytical Framework for Agri-Food Sector

et al. 2023

The ubiquity of social and online media networks, the credulousness of online communities, coupled with limited accountability pose a risk of mis-, dis-, mal-, information (mis-dis-mal-information)—the intentional or unintentional spread of false, misleading and right information related to agri-food topics. However, agri-food mis-dis-malinformation in social media and online digital agricultural communities of practice (CoPs) remains underexplored. There is also a limited theoretical and conceptual foundation for understanding mis-dis-malinformation topics in the agri-food sectors. The study aims to review mis-dis-malinformation literature and offer a framework to help understand agri-food mis-dis-malinformation in social media and online CoPs. This paper performs a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The review shows that many disciplines, particularly communication, social media studies, computer science, health studies, political science and journalism, are increasingly engaging with mis-dis-malinformation research. This systematic research generates a framework based on six thematic categories for holistically understanding and assessing agri-food mis-dis-malinformation in social and online media communities. The framework includes mis-dis-malinformation characterization, source identification, diffusion mechanisms, stakeholder impacts, detection tactics, and mis-dis-malinformation curtailment and countermeasures. The paper contributes to advancing the emerging literature on ‘controversial topics’, ‘misinformation’, and ‘information integrity’ of the virtual agri-food advisory services. This is the first attempt to systematically analyze and incorporate experience from diverse fields of mis-dis-malinformation research that will inform future scholarly works in facilitating conversations and advisory efforts in the agri-food sector.
