Finally, you reached the cafeteria, and it was quite weird when a lot of people started greeting Chen. You rolled your eyes at the last one. Chen noticed this and chuckled.
They thought I was your freaking girlfriend, duh. Don't try to escape! I still have the picture! You grumbled curses as you sat on an empty table. And as you sat there alone, you noticed that everyone was glancing at you and whispering to each other.
Oh God. Now everyone thinks you're dating Kim Jongdae. Ugh, someone please give me a pool of acid so I can bathe in it and just die. He placed the tray on the table, and you stared at the single plate of spaghetti. And he started eating like it was nothing.
Holy shiet, it really was just the tip of the iceberg. And now, you can't carry out the escape plan because the table was in the way of the balls you were supposed to kick. You dodged when he tried to shove spaghetti into your mouth. He patted the spot beside him, while giving this seductive look.
Meanwhile, you tried your best not to gag. To be able to execute your Plan B escape plan, you have to be as close to him as possible even if it meant having to put up with weird skinship and close-distance trolling. Just a little patience, until you have the perfect timing to punch him in the nose, grab the phone, and run.
A little more risky and elaborate than the first, but still could be effective. Ok fine no punching, but we still have to grab the phone and run. Anyway, you just grabbed your chopstick and silently ate. You could feel Chen staring at you.
He's terribly close. But you couldn't see anything. You pretended not to notice, because it could be a chance to get closer. So you could execute the plan, I mean. He looked shocked, but then quickly smiled mischievously and nodded. You could feel yourself blushing as you tried to imagine what the hell you were about to do. Chen shifted closer and leaned his ear closer to you. He glanced at you and you could definitely swear you saw him gulp and his grip on your shoulder slightly tightened.
He leaned closer, though, and he was so close that you could already smell his cologne. Your nose was already brushing along his ear.
The phone wasn't there. You moved closer so you could reach to his other pocket, but at this point you were at an angle where it looked like you were about to kiss him. You had eye contact with him, and you felt him stop breathing. You quickly pulled out the phone, and before he could grab it back, you bolted away from the table and out of the cafeteria.
You heard him yelling for you to stop, but of course you didn't. You fiddled with the phone as you ran and oh thank you heavenly skittles it didn't have a passcode. You went to the photo gallery, and you came to a stop when you saw what was there. Every single photo was of you. All were stolen shots while you were busy studying in class, and it wasn't just from a single day.
It seems as though he has been taking pictures of you for a long time. Their perception of the effect of trolling depended on their differing definitions of the word. All trolls seek a reaction to their posts, he said. Negative trolls, though, are looking to generate an impact that harms someone in some way. Once you have that on the Internet, your communication is public and you could have hundreds of bystanders thinking that something was going wrong.
If we can identify what constitutes positive trolling, we can better identify and address the negative side, such as online harassment and cyberbullying, and then work on the grey areas between them. We can also try to figure out ways to get victims better tools and strategies to better protect themselves.
The work is ultimately about minimizing the more negative expressions of trolling behaviours while preserving some of the positives, Chen added. He never considered there might be potential […]. He says he eventually came to believe that violence is wrong, and today his weapon of choice is information, not his fists. Research Group challenges the traditional divide between activism and journalism: it is guided by the values of its members, many of whom come from leftist circles. But their methods are meticulous, and their facts are undeniable.
However, his idiosyncratic background sometimes leads him from the path of traditional journalistic inquiry into murky ethical territory. The mass unmasking of Avpixlat commenters in was an accidental consequence of this curiosity.
The site fixates on spreading stories of rapes and murders committed by immigrants, which it contends are being covered up by the liberal establishment. Avpixlat, and especially its unruly comments section, has become notorious as a launching pad for rampaging online mobs. When the site picked up the story of how a shop owner in a small town put up a sign welcoming Syrian refugees to Sweden, she explains, he was bombarded with online abuse. Avpixlat uses the popular commenting platform Disqus, which is also used by mainstream publications in Sweden and around the world.
Fredriksson planned to scrape Disqus comments from Avpixlat and as many other Swedish websites as possible. He would then compare the handles of commenters on mainstream websites with those on Avpixlat. As he built his database, he noticed something odd. Along with each username and its associated comments, he was capturing a string of encrypted data.
He recognized the string as the result of a cryptographic function known as an MD5 hash, which had been applied to every e-mail address that commenters used to register their accounts. The e-mail addresses were included to support a third-party service called Gravatar.
He encrypted his e-mail address and searched the Avpixlat database for the resulting hash. He found his comment. He kept his scrapers running on Avpixlat and other websites that used Disqus, including American sites like CNN, eventually assembling a database of 30 million comments. Make the unknown known. Research Group filed public information requests and collected thousands of e-mail addresses of parliament members, judges, and other government officials. All told, Research Group assembled a list of more than million addresses—more than 20 times the population of Sweden—to check against the database of 55, Avpixlat accounts.
He clicked on one Avpixlat user who had used his account to complain a lot about Muslims. Research Group toiled away for 10 months on the Avpixlat data, eventually identifying around 6, commenters, of whom only a handful were ever publicly named.
A few months into the research, Fredriksson approached Expressen , whose investigative reporting on the Swedish far right he admired.
The newspaper bought the story. Research Group was so focused on analyzing the database that it did not seriously consider what the public fallout from the revelations might be. When the story came out, it sparked a firestorm. Debate about the ethics of the story raged, and even political opponents of the Sweden Democrats voiced reservations.
Research Group left it up to Expressen to choose what to report. If it had been his choice, he says, he would only have exposed politicians. Research Group emerged from the furor slightly shell-shocked but proud, with a newfound reputation as a reputable journalistic force.
A few months later, the Swedish Association of Investigative Journalists gave the group and Expressen an award for the scoop. This past September, Expressen published a new series based on the data, exposing more Sweden Democrats. One had called a black man a chimpanzee, while another had suggested that Muslims were genetically predisposed to violence. In fact, the Sweden Democrats won 13 percent of the vote, doubling their previous result to become the third-largest party in Sweden.
Some even suggested that Expressen had helped the Sweden Democrats by making them seem like victims. At a recent gathering, Research Group members spent six hours working through a list that Fredriksson provided of e-mail addresses belonging to high-ranking military members, to see whether they had posted anything interesting on the site.
They found only one—a man who had apparently confessed to hiring prostitutes, although this was unlikely to rise to the level of newsworthiness their publishing partner was looking for.
