We bridge these emphases with <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">interactional continuity</jats:italic> , a user-centered frame that explains cross-modality incorporation at the level of task episodes: AI use stabilizes through sequential placement in ongoing activities, while interface packaging shapes whether it is perceived and named as AI. Grounded in infrastructure theory, platform studies, and digital meaning-making, we examine everyday AI use in the Global South through 28 semi-structured interviews in an Indian workplace. We used iterative AI-assisted and manual coding to identify patterns. Importantly, we found that respondents used AI as episode-level task support within familiar platform routines, illustrating how disruption and invisibility can emerge from task sequencing and interface cues.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating world-systems analysis with the critique of the attention economy, I argue that cognition has emerged as the new frontier of intensive accumulation. As material expansion shifts toward cognitive extraction within the post-2008 conjuncture, platforms assetize attention to stabilize speculative valuation. This induces a biopolitical rewiring that functionally degrades the capacity for sustained thought. This systemic brain rot is analyzed through its class-stratified distribution and institutional collision within the university, where deep learning confronts the high-frequency logic of extraction. Ultimately, this mutagenic mode of accumulation consumes capitalism’s social and cognitive foundations, necessitating a shift from therapeutic self-management toward the political contestation of attentional regimes through structural alternatives like engagement metric caps and public digital infrastructures.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article develops the Digital Media and Information Literacy Scale (DMILS)—a robust and multidimensional measure that distinguishes domain (digital vs information/news), competency type (knowledge vs skill), and is measured through both subjective and objective items. Through two empirical studies with three nationally matched samples in the United States and Singapore ( <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N</jats:italic> = 1498), we developed an 18-item self-report battery and 16-item objective knowledge questions, showing strong structural, convergent, and predictive validity, along with a short form (eight self-report and eight objective items). By offering a parsimonious yet multidimensional yardstick, DMILS enables rigorous evaluation of media literacy interventions and supplies a common metric for cross-national research, critical for building an information ecosystem resilient to mis- and disinformation.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on digital infrastructure ethnography, platform hermeneutics, and genealogical method, this article examines how the project negotiates legitimacy through metadata, discourse, and infrastructural design. I argue that Anna’s Archive transforms the logic of piracy into an infrastructure of visibility that mirrors and contests institutional archives, enacting a novel illicit politics of knowledge circulation. The study identifies four modes of legitimacy—pragmatic, moral, community, and cognitive—through which the archive sustains authority while remaining outside legal frameworks. By situating these practices within broader debates on platform accountability, data governance, and infrastructural justice, the article shows how shadow infrastructures expose the power relations and politics of access that underlie contemporary regimes of information extraction.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using AI-assisted content analysis, this study examines how psychological predispositions (issue stance and moral foundations) and network positions predict users’ toxicity roles (i.e. amplifiers, copycats, and attenuators). Multinomial regression and random forest models reveal that amplifiers are typically centrally embedded users who score high on binding moral values, especially sanctity. Attenuators often hold pro-immigration stances and receive more inbound attention, suggesting reputational restraint and network moderation. Copycats, situated in dense, reciprocated ego networks, tend to reciprocate and mimic the tone of their peers. Contrary to expectations, amplification is not driven by bridge actors but by highly central users. This typology enhances our understanding of how moral convictions and network structures influence propagation, with implications for platform design and network intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"254 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a corpus of 3.7 million tweets (2015–2022), co-hashtag network analysis, and cross-platform triangulation, it shows how technocratic policy language around digital identity, sustainability, and Agenda 2030 is recombined into configurations linking global governance to elite control. Rather than emerging from coherent narratives or shared belief, conspiratorial alignment forms through patterned circulation: repeated adjacency, symbolic compression, and modular reuse across platform environments. To account for this dynamic, the article develops three analytic terms: conspiricization, modular conspiracism, and the Memeplex. Comparing pre- and post-pandemic networks, the analysis shows that alignment precedes narrative coherence, as platform grammars organize symbolic proximity at scale. Under these conditions, the high-tech paranoid style designates a cultural formation in which patterned visibility is read as intentional coordination.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article shifts this focus by examining how teenage girls actively shape their sexual cultures through social media within digital sexual assemblages. Drawing on arts-based collage-making and focus group discussions with 15- to 18-year-old black South African girls, the article analyses how practices of slaying, selfie production, twerking and engagement with celebrity cultures produce heterosexual desirability. These practices open possibilities for reconfiguring normative femininities. However, girls’ becomings are constrained through racialised beauty ideals, body-shaming, sexual double standards and heteropatriarchal norms that intensify self-surveillance and embodied vulnerability. The article shows how girls’ digital sexual cultures are embroiled within ongoing tensions between capacity and constraint, where expressions of sexuality are both enabled and foreclosed. It argues for the importance of creative, arts-based engagements that move beyond risk-based frameworks to address the material, affective and structural conditions shaping girls’ gendered and sexual lives.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A growing field of research has examined how social media platforms shape conspiracy narratives and cultures. However, this technological focus has largely overshadowed social media users’ own agency toward collective identity construction. This article examines how users in online conspiracy communities construct collective identities through symbolic boundary work. Focusing on discussions surrounding the “Great Reset” conspiracy theory, across six major social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok), we use multimodal discourse analysis to analyze 630 posts and their comments. Our findings reveal that users do symbolic boundary work by defining themselves as “critical thinkers,” reclaiming the label “conspiracy theorist,” and affectively transforming personal struggles into shared narratives, creating a shared identity in contrast to the “mainstream other.” The study contributes to research on social media and conspiracy cultures by foregrounding identity over content, offering insight into how users build solidarity online.","PeriodicalId":19149,"journal":{"name":"New Media & Society","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
