RESEARCHER ACCESS TO SOCIAL MEDIA DATA: LESSONS FROM CLINICAL TRIAL DATA SHARING.

Berkeley Technology Law Journal. 2024, Vol. 39 Issue 1, p111-205. 95p.

For years, social media companies have sparred with lawmakers over how much independent access to platform data they should provide researchers. Sharing data with researchers allows the public to better understand the risks and harms associated with social media, including areas such as misinformation, child safety, and political polarization. Yet researcher access is controversial. Privacy advocates and companies raise the potential privacy threats of researchers using such data irresponsibly. In addition, social media companies raise concerns over trade secrecy: the data these companies hold and the algorithms powered by that data are secretive sources of competitive advantage. This Article shows that one way to navigate this difficult strait is by drawing on lessons from the successful governance program that has emerged to regulate the sharing of clinical trial data. Like social media data, clinical trial data implicates both individual privacy and trade secrecy concerns. Nonetheless, clinical trial data's governance regime was gradually legislated, regulated, and brokered into existence, managing the interests of industry, academia, and other stakeholders. The result is a functionally successful (albeit imperfect) clinical trial data-sharing ecosystem. Part II sketches the status quo of researchers' access to social media data and provides a novel taxonomy of the problems that arise under this regime. Part III reviews the legal structures governing sharing of clinical trial data and traces the history of scandals, investigations, industry protest, and legislative response that gave rise to the mix of mandated sharing and experimental programs we have today. Part IV applies lessons from clinical trial data sharing to social media data and charts a strategic course forward. Three primary lessons emerge: first, the benefits of research on otherwise secret data are cascading and unpredictable; second, law without institutions to implement the law is insufficient; and, third, data access regimes must be tailored to the different sorts of data they make available.

Information Technology for Development. Jan 2022, Vol. 28 Issue 1, p111-136. 26p. 1 Diagram, 5 Charts.

In this research we examine the influences on use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for developmental purposes versus personal purposes such as communication and entertainment. We surveyed 145 low-income farmers in rural India who used ICTs at public-access centers. Our study revealed that factors influencing ICT use for developmental purposes differed from those influencing ICT use for personal purposes. Information quality, relative advantage, self-efficacy, and availability of other services were important determinants of developmental use but not personal use. For personal use, effort expectancy and cost were important. Policy implications for users and providers are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on personal guidance with the help of social networks and friends for support and how to relate to the adult children about the divorce. It also addresses the need for a surrogate decision-maker such as a guardian or conservator. Some people need mediation without attorneys for the settlement. In the case of older people, divorce brings with it a restructuring of your social and family networks.

Theorizing about the Early-Stage Diffusion of Codependent IT Innovations.

Journal of the Association for Information Systems. 2023, Vol. 24 Issue 2, p379-429. 51p.

In this paper, we focus on the early-stage diffusion of codependent IT innovations, which are a type of innovation in which the overall innovation consists of two complementary parts that are adopted by two different adopter communities but where both parts need to be jointly adopted by the two coadopter communities for successful diffusion of the overall innovation. Using innovation diffusion, organizing vision (OV), and institutional entrepreneurship theories as the key theoretical lenses, and an in-depth case study reconstructed using 20 years of discourse surrounding Walmart's campaign in the early stage of diffusion of the RFID-in-retailing technology, we develop a four-phase process model for the early-stage diffusion of codependent IT innovations. We make three specific contributions to the IS discipline, specifically to the literature on IS innovation adoption and diffusion. First, we add the notion of coadopter relative advantage and posit that the organization in the coadopter community with a higher coadopter relative advantage that perceives the highest degree of coadopter relative advantage will emerge as an institutional entrepreneur (IE) and will influence the early-stage diffusion of the codependent IT innovation. Second, we add the notion of an internal-external influencer and posit that the IE may be an actor who is internal to the overall adoption phenomenon, which involves two different coadopter communities, but external to the coadopter community with a lower coadopter relative advantage that adopts the innovation component. Third, we divide the early-stage diffusion process into four phases--emergence, structuralization, evolution, and chasm--and identify the institutional entrepreneurship strategies used and the OV functions enacted by the IE during each phase. We propose that the IE for a codependent innovation will: (1) use the rationale development strategy and enact the interpretation OV function during the emergence phase, (2) use the resource mobilization strategy and enact the mobilization OV function during the structuralization phase, (3) use the relationship development strategy and enact the legitimation OV function during the evolution phase, and (4) use all the three institutional entrepreneurship strategies and enact all the three OV functions during the chasm phase.

"The sparrow loves millet, but labors not": Energy use and infrastructure in the Senegal Vally, 1450-1760.

History & Technology. Mar2023, Vol. 39 Issue 1, p42-64. 23p.

This article examines the history of precolonial energy use in the Senegal Valley from 1450–1760, showing how the Wolof kingdoms developed technologically sophisticated systems of energy use to construct an infrastructure of what I call 'organic refineries'. As co-constructed sites of energy use, technological innovation, and material production, the organic refineries of the Senegal Valley relied on the expertise of peasant farmers, the labor of enslaved workers, and the fertility of arable land to endure long periods of drought and political instability during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. In centering the history of premodern energy use within an African context, this study demonstrates how energy use was not solely confined to the factories, blast furnaces, and coal refineries associated with the proto-industrial economies of the West. The precolonial populations of the Senegal Valley, I argue, developed and deployed a wide range of technical skills, expertise, and systems of labor that coalesced into a resilient infrastructure of agrarian energy systems. These energy regimes enabled them to withstand ecological instability – droughts, locust plagues, and food scarcity – and to compete for control over networks of commercial exchange.
