The explosive use of social media has turned it into a double-edged sword. On the one hand, social media is seen to have a positive impact in, for example, bringing information out of conflicted nations to the World and word spreading-based mobilisation in emergency response and crisis situations. On the other hand, social media platforms have appeared to be also the catalyst in fuelling violent events (e.g. during the UK riots in 2011). The proliferation of insults and personal attacks online along with the appearance of socially disruptive patterns in online social behaviour has become more and more common. Young people are becoming increasingly narcissistic, and obsessed with self-image and shallow friendships partly due to the use of Facebook and other social media platforms. Social media addiction also leads to low self-esteem and even anti-social behaviours.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>

It will also study the metrics in measuring the positive and negative impact of social media on individuals, business organisations, and government agencies. The analysis and mining of these patterns aim to promote positive activities in social medial, while at the same time reveal harmful aspects of social media and suggest ways to tackle and to overcome the negative side.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
