YouTubing在国内：作为MobilityAround COVID-19封锁代理的媒体共享行为变化
YouTubing at Home: Media Sharing Behavior Change as Proxy for MobilityAround COVID-19 Lockdowns
摘要：
遵守公共卫生措施，如限制行动和社交活动，对于限制严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型（也称为COVID-19）等疾病的传播至关重要。虽然大型人口数据集（如基于电话的移动数据）可以提供对此类合规性的一些了解，但它通常是专有的，并且可能不适用于所有地区。在这项工作中，我们研究了社交媒体上的视频共享作为互联网用户在家花费的时间量的代理的有用性。我们特别关注在109个国家实施COVID-19封锁措施之前及期间在Twitter上分享YouTube视频的人数。我们发现，各国的媒体分享行为差异很大，有些国家对封锁法令立即做出反应-主要是通过大幅增加分享量-而另一些国家则有很大的滞后。我们证实，这些见解与移动性密切相关，如使用电话数据测量的。最后，我们说明了媒体共享和移动行为的变化更剧烈周围强制锁定，而不是更宽松的建议。我们将媒体共享量数据提供给研究界，以持续监测公共卫生措施的行为变化。
英文摘要：
Compliance with public health measures, such as restrictions on movement and socialization, is paramount in limiting the spread of diseases such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (also referred to as COVID-19). Although large population datasets, such as phone-based mobility data, may provide some glimpse into such compliance, it is often proprietary, and may not be available for all locales. In this work, we examine the usefulness of video sharing on social media as a proxy of the amount of time Internet users spend at home. In particular, we focus on the number of people sharing YouTube videos on Twitter before and during COVID-19 lockdown measures were imposed by 109 countries. We find that the media sharing behavior differs widely between countries, in some having immediate response to the lockdown decrees - mostly by increasing the sharing volume dramatically - while in others having a substantial lag. We confirm that these insights correlate strongly with mobility, as measured using phone data. Finally, we illustrate that both media sharing and mobility behaviors change more drastically around mandated lockdowns, and less so around more lax recommendations. We make the media sharing volume data available to the research community for continued monitoring of behavior change around public health measures.
