I change how I express myself based on the audience. When texting with friends I use causal slang, but when emailing teachers I use more polished, formal language. These changes feel authentic because they are just showing different parts of my personality rather than faking who I am.

This source is about the permanent ban of @realDonaldTrump from X (formerly Twitter) and the reasoning for it. They reference two of Trumps tweets from January 8th and say that the context surrounding the tweets (the January 6th attack) warrant his ban from the site. They bring up their Glorification of violence policy and explain how Trump went against these policies.

For the use case of finding information having a search feature on the social media's platform would help people find what they are looking for. For the use case of finding communities having a way to look through people with similar interests as you would help.

This is a YouTube video explaining the history and strained relationship between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The story is told by two drunk guys and then reenacted by actors. They bring up the fact that Jefferson and Adams both spread misinformation about each other through the press.

For relationship status I would store it using strings with a preset list of options for the user to choose from. I don't think I would give the option of a way of choosing "other" because relationships and their status can be complicated so I think it would be best for the person to pick the one that fits them the best. This would also remove the issue of people having typos or using a different language.

This source explains what HTML is and how it is used. HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the standard markup language used for creating websites.

People have different expectations of a bot because they know that a bot is being told what to do by someone else and that the bot does not understand its impact on others. When "normal" users post things online they can be held accountable as they have a basic understanding of what they are posting and how it can affect others. A good example of this is the case of Justine Sacco and her racist tweet.

This article/source was about a women who was allegedly using a hundred or so iPhones to delete and reinstall specific apps on the phones in order to get that apps download count up. Apps with a higher download count receive a higher ranking in the App Store. According to the article this has been a continued issue for Apple and you can supposedly pay groups of people thousands of dollars to get your app into the top ten apps for a week.

To add on to this description of Consequentialism ethics, it is also about maximizing the good, meaning that the morally right action would be the one that has the greatest net balance of good over evil. A common criticism of this ethic framework is that the idea of "the ends justify the means" can sometimes hurt minorities if the result is deemed beneficial to the majority.

I think that one feature on Twitter that allowed these events to happen is that you are able to retweet the post and share it to your followers. Even if Justine only had a few followers, one of them could have thousands and when the post was retweeted, more and more people saw the post and most likely also retweeted it which continued the cycle. Another feature of the app that enabled the events is how public her information was. People were able to see exactly where she was and could figure out where she was going which lead to photos of her coming off the plane to e taken and spread online.
