The presentation is in relation to a research that explored adolescents’ evaluation of the credibility of Instagram posts in Finland. For this, ten authentic Instagram posts were selected representing two themes: eating meat and digital healthy. Both themes are contradictory and of adolescents’ interest. In addition, the posts represented different image types (infographic, image of a person, meme, and promotion image) and different author types (organization, expert, celebrity, blogger, and pseudonym). A think-aloud methodology was used to investigate participants' (N = 15) evaluation practices when they explored the posts. Participants were instructed to verbalize all their thoughts simultaneously when they watched, read, and evaluated the posts. Think aloud-brought available adolescents’ concurrent thoughts when they evaluated multimodal Information. In the analysis, they used episodes as units of analysis. Episodes were used to capture the elements of the posts that adolescents paid attention to during credibility evaluation. Episodes were classified into five categories: 1) exploring an image of the post, 2) exploring a caption, 3) exploring a bio/profile, 4) final credibility judgment, and 5) other. In order to examine adolescents’ evaluation practices, they identified and categorized episodes that included an evaluative talk and analysed different evaluative "tracks”.

| 62'''*''' || not assigned yet || Oksana Prykhodko || European Media Platform (EMP) || Civil society || || || || || || || || || My initial proposition was to discuss "Realities of digital genocide and perspectives of digital tribunal". Unprovoked ruzzist aggression against Ukraine from 2014 has led to the theft of some of Ukraine's digital resources (such as IP addresses in Crimea, part of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, others). From 24 February 2022 aggressor began to destroy physically or steal equipment of mobile operators, ISPs, steal their software, data bases of personal information, kill or torture staff. Plus constant cyber-attacks on Ukrainian Internet resources But the greatest damage was caused by strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, as a result of which a significant portion of Ukrainians are regularly left without electricity and/or Internet access. Ukraine received huge help and support from all over the world, and Ukrainians and Ukrainian Internet demonstrate their resilience. Nevertheless it is necessary to analyse all lessons of this attempt of digital genocide and develop measures to prosecute the perpetrators, compensate the damage and prevent similar attempts in the future. Just now EMP is implementing the RIPE NCC grant "Internet identifiers in time of war" and is applying for ICANN ABR "The role of individual stakeholders, I* and international organisations in preventing (or facilitating) digital genocide". We also have results of the discussion during XIII IGF-UA (24-25 November 2022) and 30th anniversary of .UA (1-2 December 2022) with the participation of key Ukrainian and foreign stakeholders.

It can also help us fight climate change and protect the environment. The technology has the potential to accelerate global efforts to protect the environment and conserve resources by, for example, reducing energy emissions, CO2 removal, helping develop greener transportation networks, monitoring deforestation, managing natural hazards and predicting extreme weather conditions. With more than two-thirds of the world’s population predicted to live in urban spaces, AI could play a key role in improving spatial use, greening cities and managing energy in the near future. But it also comes at a cost to the planet, as AI is highly energy-consuming. To truly benefit from the technology’s potential to find solutions to environmental challenges, we also need a better understanding of AI’s growing carbon footprint.
