• Abstract: One of the most important humanitarian responsibility of every individual is to protect the future of our children. This entails not only protection of physical welfare but also from ill events that can potentially affect the mental well-being of a child such as sexual coercion and abuse which, in worst-case scenarios, can result to lifelong trauma. In this study, we perform a preliminary investigation of how child sex peddlers spread illegal pornographic content and target minors for sexual activities on Twitter in the Philippines using Natural Language Processing techniques. Results of our studies show frequently used and co-occurring words that traffickers use to spread content as well as four main roles played by these entities that contribute to the proliferation of child pornography in the country.

  Online Social Networks serve as fertile ground for harmful behavior, ranging from hate speech to the dissemination of disinformation. We introduce the Style Transformer for Authorship Representations (STAR), trained on a large corpus derived from public sources of 4.5 x 106 authored texts. Using a support base of 8 documents of 512 tokens, we can discern authors from sets of up to 1616 authors with at least 80% accuracy.

  We report on a ten-month study where we worked with six support workers and eighteen perpetrators in the design and deployment of Fragments of the Past. We share how crafting digitally-augmented artefacts - 'fragments' - of experiences of desisting from violence can translate messages for motivation and rapport between peers. These insights provide the basis for practical considerations for future network design with challenging populations.

• Identity Signals in Emoji Do not Influence Perception of Factual Truth on Twitter [90.14874935843544]
  Prior work has shown that Twitter users use skin-toned emoji as an act of self-representation to express their racial/ethnic identity. We test whether this signal of identity can influence readers' perceptions about the content of a post containing that signal. We find that neither emoji nor profile photo has an effect on how readers rate these facts.
