• Abstract: Social media platforms offer numerous benefits and allow people to come together for various causes. Many communities, academia, government agencies, institutions, healthcare, entertainment, and businesses are on social media platforms. They are intuitive and free for users. It has become unimaginable to live without social media. Their architecture and data handling are geared towards scalability, uninterrupted availability, and both personal and collaborative revenue generation. Primarily, artificial intelligence algorithms are employed on stored user data for optimization and feeds. This has the potential to impact user safety, privacy, and security, even when metadata is used. A new decentralized data arrangement framework based on the Fractal-tree and L-Systems algorithm is proposed to mitigate some of the impacts of social media platforms. Future work will focus on demonstrating the effectiveness of the new decentralized framework by comparing its results against state-of-the-art security methods currently used in databases. A cryptographic algorithm could also be implemented for the framework, employing a new key generation for each branch. This will strengthen database security; for example, if a user key is leaked, regenerating the key for each branch will keep the data secure by applying defense mechanisms in the proposed L-System-based tree framework.

  We present a grassroots architecture for serverless, permissionless, peer-to-peer social networks termed Grassroots Social Networking. The architecture incorporates (i) a decentralized social graph, where each person controls, maintains and stores only their local neighborhood in the graph. We provide two example Grassroots Social Networking protocols -- Twitter-like and WhatsApp-like -- and address their security (safety, liveness and privacy), spam/bot/deep-fake resistance, and implementation.

  We propose a Cross-network Social User Embedding framework, namely DP-CroSUE, to learn the comprehensive representations of users in a privacy-preserving way. In particular, for each heterogeneous social network, we first introduce a hybrid differential privacy notion to capture the variation of privacy expectations for heterogeneous data types. To further enhance user embeddings, a novel cross-network GCN embedding model is designed to transfer knowledge across networks through those aligned users.

  Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse. Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes. We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.
