- Abstract: Social media is an essential gateway of information and communication for
people worldwide. The amount of time spent and reliance of people on social
media makes it a vital resource for detecting events happening in real life.
Thousands of significant events are posted by users every hour in the form of
multimedia. Some individuals and groups target the audience to promote their
agenda among these users. Their cause can threaten other groups and individuals
who do not share the same views or have specific differences. Any group with a
definitive cause cannot survive without the support which acts as a catalyst
for their agenda. A phenomenon occurs where people are fed information that
motivates them to act on their behalf and carry out their agenda. One is
benefit results in the loss of the others by putting their lives, assets,
physical and emotional health in danger. This paper introduces a concept of
dangerous events to approach this problem and their three main types based on
their characteristics: action, scenarios, and sentiment-based dangerous events.

We present a novel approach to extract influence indicators from messages circulating among groups of users discussing particular topics.
We focus on two influence indicators: the (control of) agenda and the use of emotional language.

Social media streams contain large and diverse amount of information, ranging from daily-life stories to the latest global and local events and news.
Twitter, especially, allows a fast spread of events happening real time, and enables individuals and organizations to stay informed of the events happening now.
Event detection from social media data poses different challenges from traditional text and is a research area that has attracted much attention in recent years.

We identify at least five folk models that conceptualize misinformation as either: political (counter)argumentation, out-of-context narratives, inherently fallacious information, external propaganda, or simply entertainment.
We use the rich conceptualizations embodied in these folk models to uncover how social media users minimize adverse reactions to misinformation encounters in their everyday lives.

We argue that when misinformation proliferates, this happens because the social media environment enables adherence to misinformation.
We make the case that polarization and misinformation adherence are closely tied.

We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation.
Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content.
The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

We argue that it is critical to understand what user attributes potentially cause users to share fake news.
In fake news dissemination, confounders can be characterized by fake news sharing behavior that inherently relates to user attributes and online activities.
We propose a principled approach to alleviating selection bias in fake news dissemination.

We find support for the hypothesis that platforms implementing news feed algorithms like Facebook may elicit the emergence of echo-chambers.
