TLDR
It is argued that being able to predict user personality goes well beyond the initial goal of informing the design of new personalized applications as it, for example, expands current studies on privacy in social media.Abstract:
Psychological personality has been shown to affect a variety of aspects: preferences for interaction styles in the digital world and for music genres, for example Consequently, the design of personalized user interfaces and music recommender systems might benefit from understanding the relationship between personality and use of social media Since there has not been a study between personality and use of Twitter at large, we set out to analyze the relationship between personality and different types of Twitter users, including popular users and influentials For 335 users, we gather personality data, analyze it, and find that both popular users and influentials are extroverts and emotionally stable (low in the trait of Neuroticism) Interestingly, we also find that popular users are `imaginative' (high in Openness), while influentials tend to be `organized' (high in Conscientiousness) We then show a way of accurately predicting a user's personality simply based on three counts publicly available on profiles: following, followers, and listed counts Knowing these three quantities about an active user, one can predict the user's five personality traits with a root-mean-squared error below 088 on a $[1,5]$ scale Based on these promising results, we argue that being able to predict user personality goes well beyond our initial goal of informing the design of new personalized applications as it, for example, expands current studies on privacy in social mediaread more

Predicting Mental Health From Followed Accounts on Twitter
TL;DR: This paper examined the extent to which the accounts a user follows on Twitter can be used to predict individual differences in self-reported anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and anger.
AI and consumers manipulation: what the role of EU fair marketing law?
TL;DR: In this paper, two ways in which the employment of AI can lead to distortive results in consumers' decision-making are explained. And some reflections are proposed over the role of fair marketing law in protecting consumers, notably on how EU fair marketing should change in response to the spread of AI-mediated commercial practices.

Social Media and Microblogs Credibility: Identification, Theory Driven Framework, and Recommendation
TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for automatic credibility assessment of microblogs is proposed, which combines feature-based and graph-based approaches to identify comprehensive and necessary credibility constructs, and the framework is also proposed based on the identified constructs.
