This paper examines the predictors of online participation and compares them to classic theories which emphasize sociodemographic and cultural resources. It also considers the impact of digital skills and some political attitudes like confidence in political parties. The study is based on two online surveys conducted among citizens who used Internet for electoral purposes during the 2012 French presidential and Quebec legislative elections. Age, confidence in political parties, and digital skills are significant predictors of online participation. In contrast, online participation is not positively related to education level and job category.

This research is about how Canadian women's groups use digital media to advocate for gender parity in politics. The study, based on the analysis of Facebook and Twitter accounts of eight groups—and completed with interviews—focuses on two elements: the discourse about women in politics and the logics of digital advocacy mobilized by the groups. The results illustrate an access to politics and media by means other than the digital media as well as a construction of the groups' image and discourse on women's political representation guided by the information politics.

This article examines challenges associated with the sustainability of the digital sector in key sectors such as cloud computing, targeted advertising, online video, cryptocurrencies, and generative artificial intelligence. Firstly, it explores the innovation strategies that globally impactful companies (Google, Facebook, Netflix, and OpenAI) adopt to mitigate their environmental impact. The study highlights the evolution of innovation objectives, shifting from enhancing product performance to optimizing production processes within often collaborative frameworks. Secondly, it analyses the dissemination of digital sobriety practices among IT service providers, putting their efforts into perspective and addressing the limitations of their actions to tackle sobriety challenges. Finally, the article investigates the relationship between digital sobriety and the nature of technological platforms, highlighting the specific challenges posed by cryptocurrencies and advertising platforms. The study concludes with a set of recommendations regarding information, training, incentives, and regulation to foster a more digitally sober sector.

Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has been perceived as a tool to support democracy. However, recently the media has paid more attention to its negative impact on public debate. The evolution of the collective imagination of the Internet requires that we go beyond the simple binary analysis (“advantages/limits”) of its sociopolitical issues and think about how it shapes the practices and forms of public debate according to its own standards. Seven aspects of online debate are systematically analysed in this article: the replacement of the traditional gatekeepers by the algorithms developed by search engines and social media, the disappearance of authority-based arguments that are driven by popularity indicators, the anchoring of political practices in daily discussions, the identity issues associated with information-sharing, the “push button” forms of citizen expression, the mechanisms of self-belief, and the privatisation of regulatory bodies. These changes have had an impact on media and information education that information systems professionals will have to consider in the future.

L'informatique dépendante du contexte est un paradigme de l'informatique qui tient en considération les éléments de l'environnement d'une entité (utilisateur, périphérique, etc.). Ce paradigme, qui prend une place de plus en plus importante grâce au développement rapide des technologies mobiles, a mené à la mise en place de différentes architectures et de divers modèles qui fournissent l'information sur le contexte. Au niveau des architectures plusieurs solutions ont été proposées mais présentent tout de même certaines limites notamment, au niveau de la modélisation du contexte. De nombreux modèles ont été proposés dépendamment des taches à réaliser, mais se concentrent sur les capteurs physiques comme source principales des données de contexte et ignorent les informations qu'on pourrait acquérir de la fouille des différents profils en ligne d'un …
