created for people search for personally identifiable information about them, which they themselves provide. In addition, users of social networks aim to communicate and share content with complete identification, including place of residence, age, occupation, social status and much more. The so-called "wall" appeared in social networks, as a result of the popularity of blogs on the net.
Bloggers have become a powerful tool of society, which focuses on the society itself. One of the bloggers described his vision of the role of bloggers in the network: "sow we are not information-we distribute the idea of making sense of the information, as our media image has become Prism, which transmits certain information, adapting it during transmission. We're not talking about the responsibility we have to the society that gave us such a powerful tool in our hands. We read hundreds, thousands and millions of people, and, well, if it's qualitative information and quantitative information product. But, often, it is simply the estimated characteristics that are based on subjective opinion. Namely, these characteristics are perceived by society for "face value", as they are already trusted our media image and ready to listen to everything he says. I believe that we should be more careful and accurate in our work, because we have some of those models picture perception in others. We have to be accountable to society and realize our important role in shaping our city, our country, our world. " [32]. It's not just professional materials bloggers. This is all information emanating from them. For Internet-audience bloggers-a single image, not divided on man and author of the blog. As an example, one could cite, as several times a week, popular bloggers write in their Microblogs that they are drunk, or going to drink alcoholic beverages, thereby promoting negative tendencies in society network.
On blogging, as well as work in social networks, influence and relationships within the family group. Studies show that in most cases, the blog is perceived as personal space or independent communication. Therefore, there are often
PART II. SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS 192
discussed topics are not discussed in the family of a blogger. On the one hand, many bloggers perceived as personal blog space where they can write what they consider necessary. On the other hand, in practice, a blogger in their posts information about working, personal opinions about employees or guide can cost him his job [33]. Blogger should be wary to fulfil their role in Internet-space, his every appeal to readers is seen as a massive and public and shall entail liability. Role behavior should be carried out strictly within the limits of the Internet audience and the bloggers.
There are two opposing views on the role of blogs in social processes: 1) participate in blogging leads to mitigate social tensions, as most realize allows a person to innocuous manner, allowing you to freely express our opinion in blogs; 2) blogs led to the radicalization of the social process because availability and uncontrolled information leads to radical ideas are spreading rapidly on the blogosphere. The inability to control the information harm the existing regimes as democratic and an autocratic [34].
These trends are interrelated and parallel to each other. At the stage of development and growth of the blogosphere all political, cultural and popular figures maintain blogs, thereby participating in the formation of social processes. The Mission of the blogosphere is self-presentation, self-position hobbies, interests, attitudes, efficiency in conveying information, freedom in the form of its expression, interaction with your reader, the joint formation of networking opportunities, creating powerful new information streams, hidden from non­participants in the communication process in the blogosphere and social networks.
The blogosphere is rightfully considered to be the most free speech zone, and blogs became a place for self-expression of billions of people worldwide. Imagine a situation where the blogger behind their utterances are subjected to harsh criticism and sometimes outspoken threats from dissidents with him, or just entertained this way bloggers. Such cases already have been
CHAPTER 10. BLOGGERS AS AGENTS REFORMAT MECHANISM 193
accumulated, some bloggers are even closing their diaries, fear of the present, rather than virtual harassment from inadequate foes.
Back in the 2008 year in the United States think about forming some ethical blogger. T. O'reilly, considered one of the founders of the ideology of Web 2.0 and Wikipedia founder d. Wales expressed confidence that the blogosphere needs a similar set of rules for global security [35]. T. O'reilly published on the pages of your blog draft blogger's code of conduct ", but invites all wishing to make their wishes in its wording.
"Code" consists of three large sections, each of which has its own rules:
1) be honest and fair. Bloggers should be fair and impartial
when processing and publication of information.
Bloggers should:
Avoid plagiarism;
Whenever possible, always define and reference sources.
The public has a right to know as much information as possible about the source and its validity;
Always check that the published posts, quotes, photos and any other content does not represent the information in a false light. Nor should it be overly simplify information or focus on events out of context;
Never edit photos without specifying the changes. Allowed: optimizing images only from the technical point of view;
Never publish knowingly false information, and when publishing questionable information is to clearly communicate about it;
Distinguish between propaganda, speculations and facts. Even the propaganda and speculation should never distort facts;
Pay attention to information that may be hidden advertising. тот же самй вопрос
2) Minimize harm.
Ethical blogger refers to the sources and participants of the events described with respect and human understanding.
PART II. SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS 194
Bloggers should be:
to show their empathy for those who may suffer from the negative content in the post. With the utmost delicacy to treat children and inexperienced sources/interlocutors;
With sensitivity to receive and use the information or photos of people injured in the described events;
Be aware that collection and publication of such information may cause people harm and moral discomfort. The right to the collection of information does not give the right to arrogance and inhumanity;
Be aware that ordinary people have more rights to the preservation of personal information than the public and politicians;
Show good taste. Avoid publishing information «yellow» media;
Be careful in judging potential criminals before the Court had handed down its decision. Also do not identify crime victims without their consent. тот же самый вопрос
3) Be responsible.
Blogger should:
be able to admit mistakes and correct them quickly;
explain the purpose of the blog, and be open to dialogue
with the public over its content and its conduct;
disclose conflicts of interest, affiliations, activities and personal ambitions;
you cannot get your advertisers have the right to influence the content of the blog. In case of an exception to inform the readers;
be careful with information sources, giving her for service. In the case of the use of such information must specify that it is for the service;
disclose cases of ethical acts of other bloggers [36].
The blogosphere needs to answer for his actions as well as in real life. Therefore, undesirable threats, slander, insults, false accusations, gossip about his personal life, immoral replica and spam all what you could bring to administrative
CHAPTER 10. BLOGGERS AS AGENTS REFORMAT MECHANISM 195
and criminal liability in real life. The authors of the code are advised to contact law enforcement authorities even if the author of the offending comment apologies or threatens the life of a blogger.
You need to warn readers about whether to allow profanity in your blog, whether posts which may be perceived as offensive. Many bloggers have already made this point on armaments and good manners have long considered small observations about the content of the posts before the subsequent submissions. Outspoken opponents of such a principle too much. Also not worth comment anonymously and allow others to do it. Outdoor IP address leaves a lot less desire to be rude or threatening because, in fact, is a kind of passport blogger. However, anonymity in the blogosphere a relative concept. You do not need to enter into polemics with the so­called "trolls", provoking other bloggers on aggression and harassing his statements for the sake of entertainment.
"Code of blogger» advises to endure a particularly poignant conversation with reviewer offline. For today's blogosphere is the most sensitive issue of the code. Every day in blog posts go fierce discussion and acute life issues and situations one after another "blow up" the public. In such a situation, some bloggers use their blogs to identify unfair and illegal actions, while others find a special charm it is within disputes and quarrels with the Internet community and make a name for yourself "scandalous secular journalist. However, scandals are different, and some of the bloggers they only add readers, if a person really believes in the topic of conversation and argues your point of view, is able to persuade the reader in his rightness.
The authors of "code" to disclosed illegal acts of other bloggers. To resolve the conflict issues a Special Commission was established Abuse Team, which if necessary can "separate" the blogger from LiveJournal. Focusing on U.S. law, Abuse Team can permanently close any blog of the Russian blogosphere [37]. Now the complaints are already not as betrayal, but as a completely legitimate lever to regulate relations between people, so the Russian mentality in this
PART II. SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS 196
respect is increasingly like american. To keep their readers need to comply with the final rule and a "code"-do not write in my blog what would say blogger personally. Understanding that is worth discussing, and that not all have different stands, so blogs are considered to be the most free space for self-expresion. It is this freedom to appreciate both bloggers and their readers.
According to a survey conducted by British users Internet lower thanYou Gov estimates Organization, 46 % of the respondents supported the idea of code and opposed only 4 %. Fifteen percent of all care, 42 % of respondents felt that bloggers should be subject to the same rules of law as journalists [37]. Another thing that the survey was conducted in the country with the other jurisprudence regarding the bloggers.
The question as to whether the Russian blogosphere Blogger code "or not is still open. Every blogger has the right to keep a diary as he wants to. Most prefer to be guided by the principle of "not-like-don't read the blog. Of course, the blog should be conducted without violating moral and ethical norms and laws. Now the audience is blogging is becoming more demanding, and clear violations of the framework of permissible necessarily impact both on the quality of published material, and the number of readers. Blogosphere stimulates discussion on many topics related to society, and the blog becomes the newest platform for this public online discussions.
Role behavior blogger realized through executable roles: information media, initiator, virtual "friend", etc. The specifics of the behavior of the bloggers is that they are controlled by the Blogger code, introduced by the authors of the blogs, which helps them to stay within the rules and scope of ethics, but in general, roleplay set of social roles every blogger identifies himself. It can be as a writer, photographer, political activist, and includes the page active commentator or appraiser. The ethical code of blogger "distinguishes it from the other users on the network, such as users of social networks, hackers, or user forums. Role behavior of blogger, which is expected of it readers, asks its social status.
CHAPTER 10. BLOGGERS AS AGENTS REFORMAT MECHANISM 197
The social status of a blogger
in the Internet space
In sociology study paramount social status of the individual in a society that is defined as "social status of an individual". Social status is a social position, occupied by the social individual or social group in society or a social subsystem of society. Social status of an individual is defined that takes people in society, in accordance with their sex, age, marital status, profession, place of origin, lifestyle, income, power, interests and unique features. Social status is a place or position of an individual relative to the situation of other people; This is the place of the individual in hierarchically organized social structure, its objective position in it; It is an inexhaustible human resource, giving the person an opportunity to influence society and get through it the privileged position in the system of power and distribution of wealth. Each person took a number of positions in the society, each of which involves a number of rights and responsibilities.
As the offline space, Internet space is structured and differentiated, there are different social groups, with dominant interests. They communicate through formal and informal networks and implement different types of joint activities. Heterogeneous Internet space and has lots of planes, each one characterized by a specific type of relationship and has its own logic, and its members joined the contradictory unity. On the Internet there are areas with relatively high social interaction and developed relationships, influencing other less reference and status of the community.
Internet users are structured on mutual interests, sociocultural attitudes, aspirations, varying in together and other prescribed acts of social status, criteria, despite ethnic, socio­political, gender and other differences. This led to the emergence of informal parallel communication structure, an invisible network of interpersonal relations. It not only performs the functions of a joint information and cognitive and
PART II. SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS 198
communicative activities, but also greatly favored carrier of modern moral values.
As one of the determining factors of social differentiation in the Internet is the level of access to information and knowledge. Internet users who are in the top ranks of information of stratification, do not always have a high position in the traditional social ranking [38].
Virtual network community different from offline groups that the social status of Internet users participating in a discussion, ceases to be a factor in determining their behavior. In oflaj social space any social role imposes on the action actor different formal restrictions. Unlike the offline world, virtual world, social status can not take into account and Act, considering only the capacity and integrity of the persons involved [39].
Internet provides its users with the opportunity to express themselves and self-presentation is consciously controlled transfer interlocutor certain information about yourself [40]. Self-presentation in online space is expressed through a variety of channels:
nickname (Nick) – individual user name that identifies it on a network. May reflect both real and modified user name; often represents the user's nickname in real life;
avatar – foto or picture that serves as a visual expression of the user's image;
the indicator of the current state; personal information; placement of own creativity;
posting photos and videos are generally relevant to the user.
About outdated games with identity in self-presentation in blogs: "myths about designing and inventing itself quasi­personal the blogosphere seems to be permanently rescinded: people do not want to use the advantage that sang before inhabitants of net-anonymity and the ability to try on another
CHAPTER 10. BLOGGERS AS AGENTS REFORMAT MECHANISM 199
social mask. Playing with identity blogs often leads to disclosure and public criticism the crook" [41].
Self-presentation in blogs on a meaningful level can be done through message information, which can be termed as identifying information. These include:
information on its behalf;
informing about their social status;
information on sex, age, nationality;
information about their successes, talents, high mental or
physical possibilities and achievements;
the mention of possible mutual friends-famous perso- nalities with whom the author has developed a close relationship.
Level of self-presentation in blogging depends on the content outlined a blogger: the more factual material facts, so it is above. So appears the virtual social inequality.
Committed bloggers self-presentation is one way of individualization of social. Created by actors-images is a construction material parallel social space. Their raw material is fragments of information flows that through the free access these individuals freely converted to I-images.
The emergence of social inequality in the virtual space at first glance seems paradoxical, since contrary to experience and views on the equality of parties and freely communicating on the Internet. S.V. Bondarenko believes that interaction in virtual space "have the property level off-line social disparities of participating individuals, not excluding the existence of social stratification on other grounds” [43]. Indeed, virtual communication can mitigate or even eliminate some of the "traditional" forms of social inequality. Participate in virtual communications can rich and poor, men and women, representatives of different Nations and races, political leaders and ordinary citizens, adherents of different faiths and people of different religious status Finally, people with different levels of education. However, the existence of social inequalities in
PART II. SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS 200
virtual communities supported by the facts and becomes the subject of study.
A number of factors increases the status of the position in the hierarchy of the user communities. This is the basis for the new stratification. S.V. Bondarenko as a new ground of social stratification suggests a criterion of access to information: social stratification of virtual communities, first and foremost, is an information stratification. Depending on their statuses of users get different opportunities to access the content of a Web resource and posting information [44].
Quality, define the status of the position of users allocated to Russian researchers, can be grouped into three groups:
4) possess competent knowledge and skills within a specific subject, involvement in the discourse community, technical competence, communicative competence and creativity [45];
5) the size of the network of social relationships, providing emotional support to other users help newcomers to socialization [46];
6) possession of audiovisual products for Exchange.
If the purpose of the community is communication,
then most likely the power is the one who produces more successful communications. Social communication, according
to N. Luhmann, this probabilistic selection process and information transfer, which is a synthesis of three selections: information, communication and understanding [47]. Thus, the social effectiveness of virtual communication can be measured by calculating the number of following on her reply message (comments), or other feedback, expressing understanding and acceptance of its meaning (ratings, ratings).
Status position in the community of bloggers define criteria such as the number of readers, quote, mention the name of bloggers in their blogs (reposty-placing copies in his blog post from another blogger), total marks positions and activity comments and reviews on published recordings.
Ratings are calculated and published annually by bloggers on the net. Let's take a look at the top bloggers all countries
