Does dark social have a bright future?

Summary | Our social media posts don't reveal who we really are. According to a research, it seems that in private users like reading about crime, fashion and celebrities. In public, users share (but don't read) articles about books, wine and the arts. This is a problem for advertisers; the posts we share make us look good, but they can't be trusted. 'Dark social' is the solution; marketers will have access to the content of our conversations (on non public social networks) to personalize their products. Also, using artifical intelligence and natural language processing, marketers will be able to deliver to personal events and products.

Summary | Social media have a huge problem with trolling, cyberbullying, and sharing of criminal content. It is however extremely difficult for providers to find such content before it is reported or seen by many. Especially in verbal abuse, the line between joking and slander is blurred and human language is too messy to be able to flag down such instances with algorhythms.
