Young adults' experiences with Australian public services: final report
Description In 2020, Monash University and the Australian Catholic University partnered with the APS Reform Office in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to research young Australians' perceptions about and experiences with public services. The researchers' work engaged with almost 3,000 young people through surveys and focus groups, and was supported by secondary data sources from surveys and social media.
How dark is 'dark advertising'? We audited Facebook, Google and other platforms to find out
Once upon a time, most advertisements were public. If we wanted to see what advertisers were doing, we could easily find it – on TV, in newspapers and magazines, and on billboards around the city. This meant governments, civil society and citizens could keep advertisers in check, especially when they advertised products that might be harmful – such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, pharmaceuticals, financial services or unhealthy food.
Who really gets fired over social media posts? We studied hundreds of cases to find out Original

The social life of data: strategies for categorizing fluid and multiple genders
ABSTRACT Accurate data collection from LGBTIQ+ communities is crucial for public health research and the provision of equitable services. Emergent fluid, multiple, trans and non-binary gender identities complicate data collection in ways that make an excellent case-study for rethinking the categorization of such data.
Grindr is deleting its ‘ethnicity filter’ but racism is still rife in online dating
By Gene Lim, Brady Robards and Bronwyn Carlson 4m ago Dating and hook-up service Grindr has announced its intention to remove the “ethnicity filter” from its popular app. The controversial function allowed paying users to filter out prospective partners based on ethnicity labels such as “Asian”, “Black” and “Latino”.

The impact of Facebook and growing up online
Despite suggestions that young people are losing interest in the platform, its 1.5 billion users still puts Facebook at the centre of social media. The site was launched in 2004, and so those meeting Facebook’s minimum age requirement of 13 will, in 2017, be the first generation for whom Facebook has always existed. We are now able to reflect on the long-term use of Facebook, which has enjoyed unrivalled longevity and growth.
Being strategic and taking control: Bedrooms, social network sites and the narratives of growing up
Despite being distinct, online social spaces are governed by norms and conventions reminiscent of those that govern offline social spaces. Our research into the ways young people’s ‘private’ or ‘quasi-private’ spaces are managed indicates that the strategies used to exert a sense of control over sites like Facebook borrow heavily from the strategies employed to manage offline private spaces like the teenage bedroom.
