• Abstract: The number of social media sites have increased exponentially with new ones cashing in on the weaknesses of older ones and others going beyond community guidelines by offering uncensored content. The vendors of these platforms in order to have a wider reach do not place restrictions on viewing age, promises young people with fame, and other such attractive offers that make the youths addicted to the site. The possibility of hacking into accounts of users and using same for fraud is another rave among Nigerian youths with desire for quick riches. The crash in prices of data, smart phones, and related digital devices have increased availability and access thereby closing digital divide and widening its adverse effects on the youths morals and academic pursuits. It is important that the Nigerian government understand factors that contribute to the dwindling performance level of students in government owned institutions to put in place policies and infrastructure that would help combat the challenges. This study investigated the effects of social media on students academic activities, mood and time management abilities. The result indicated that association between social media and academic activities is statistically significant. However, a negative association exists between them which implies that the high the level of social media activity, the lower academic activities participation. Similar association was observed on the effects of social media on students time management ability.

  During the COVID-19 crisis, educational institutions worldwide shifted from face-to-face instruction to emergency remote teaching (ERT) modalities. We analyzed data on 7,528 undergraduate students and found that cooperative and consensus dynamics among students in discussion forums positively affect their final GPA. Using natural language processing, we show that first-year students with low academic performance during high school are exposed to more content-intensive posts in discussion forums.

  We employ survey data together with social media data to analyse personality, moral values, but also cultural elements of the young unemployed population in Italy. Our findings show that there are small but significant differences in personality and moral values, with the unemployed males to be less agreeable. Unemployed have a more collectivist point of view, valuing more in-group loyalty, authority, and purity foundations.

  We use a social media model to quantify the impacts of several adversarial manipulation tactics on the quality of content. We find that the presence of influential accounts, a hallmark of social media, exacerbates the vulnerabilities of online communities to manipulation. These insights suggest countermeasures that platforms could employ to increase the resilience of social media users to manipulation.
