How does misinformation influence the digital agri-food advisory service? Multi-stakeholder Perspectives from Sri Lanka
Raising AI
Project Backpage
The sex industry occurs in many venues, ranging from the highly visible survival sex trade on the street to venues such as regulated massage parlors and strip clubs, to less visible escort agencies making use of hotel venues, and the highly invisible exploitation that occurs through trick pads and microbrothels operating out of homes, apartments, or condos. In many communities, outreach efforts have focused primarily on direct face-to-face contac…
Potential responses by on-campus university students to a university emergency alert
University campuses across Canada and elsewhere are developing and implementing emergency alert systems to warn campus community members about a variety of threats. In this study, focus group discussions were used to examine how undergraduate students living on campus may respond to an emergency alert. A focus group activity used tornado, fire and threatening message alert messages to provide a context for the focus group discussions. After readi…
Communication technology, emergency alerts, and campus safety
In the wake of a report on the Virginia Tech shooting tragedy that criticized officials for being too slow to alert the campus community, universities across North America are now implementing mass notification systems, often using text messaging as a primary alerting channel for students, staff, and faculty. An effective campus alerting system, like other public warning systems, involves a complex socio-technical assemblage that combines mass no…
Pursuing the Anonymous User
In recent years there has been concern among law enforcement and national security organizations about the use of “anonymous” prepaid mobile phone service and its purported role in supporting criminal and terrorist activities. As a result, a number of countries have implemented registration requirements for such service. Privacy rights advocates oppose such regulatory measures, arguing that there is little practical value in attempting to registe…
Research in Brief Public Alerting in Canada
In February 2007, the CRTC released a set of decisions that constitute part of an emerging policy framework for a national all hazards, all media public alerting system in Canada. This most recent development can be seen as part of a wider effort on the part of the federal government and others to establish a next-generation emergency broadcasting system under the CANALERT initiative. For its part, the CRTC has had to negotiate the imperatives of…
Public Safety Telecommunications in Canada
Wireless E9-1-1 is an interesting case in the capacity of industry voluntary efforts to meet public interest obligations, in part because the CRTC has largely forborne from regulating the wireless sector under current competition policy. Results to date are mixed: despite successful technical trials in the early stages, deployment of the service was slow and uneven, and proceedings came to be plagued by uncertainty and fractious debate between st…
Prepaid Mobile Phone Service and the Anonymous Caller
This paper reports on a recently concluded empirical study into the development of Wireless E9-1-1 (emergency service) in Canada that initially focussed on privacy concerns raised in the context of an emerging location based service (LBS) for mobile phone users. In light of existing regulatory arrangements this paper concludes that in Canada the emerging Wireless E9-1-1 system establishes a reasonable level of protection for the privacy rights of…
Spatial Metaphor in the Work of Marshall McLuhan
Spatial metaphor is central to the layout and development of McLuhan's thought on culture and technology. This paper adapts a framework drawn from cognitive linguistics to describe how McLuhan's concepts of visual and acoustic space serve as structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. In its ontological role, spatial metaphor provides the metaphysics for McLuhan's tetrad, which he came to regard as an alternative model for studying cult…
