“Grand theft auto is never going to be allowed in my house - it's a disgusting
nasty game. COD is NOT suitable for young players. It is not just that it is
violent it is the fact the game play is too intense for young players”
Call of Duty again has the most absolute mentions, but lies second behind
Grand Theft Auto for most mentions as percentage of the total for that game

“He has had Call of Duty for about a month and is addicted. He has also been
swearing a lot, and I saw him playing yesterday, and it involves murdering
people. What can I do to stop him?”
violence and addiction - concerns for boys exceed concerns for girls by a
factor of 3 to 1.
7
sexual content - concerns are relatively few and equal.

Partner concerns are all about impact on relationship
Child concerns more broad, but especially impact on behaviour and
monitoring/restricting access.

13. Amber Light – a cautionary tale from UBS
What happened?
Dec 2012 - UBS has been fined $1.5bn for Libor rigging
At least 45 individuals involved “in various locations around the world,
including Japan, Switzerland, the UK and the USA”
Five internal audits between 2005 and 2010 failed to spot any wrongdoing
and the bank’s systems did not pick up a single “wash trade”.
Was there an amber light signal?
June 2009 - on “a public chat group with 58 participants”, one submitter
openly asked colleagues if anyone would like him to rig Libor for them.
An Amber Light signal might be a single comment or a trend
Continuous listening is essential to identify and understand significance of
issues
15. Detecting an “issue”
Pertussis (whooping cough) sees surge in Twitter mentions on 8 Jan
Social Noise Zone
Is this a red light signal?
No, it is a celebrity being retweeted

16. Detecting an “issue” – Omega at the London
Olympics
Omega sees surge in Twitter mentions in June 2012
Is this a red light signal?
No, it is TV campaign launch

Not all “alerts” are red light crisis signals

17. Detecting an “issue”
• A father used Facebook to detail his negative experience
of Accident & Emergency Services (A&E) in the UK

return the following day where the boy endured a surgical
procedure, under a general anaesthetic
