    1. “For us, it slows things down. We try to integrate people back to humanity,” Mr. McAleer said. “If isolation and shame is the driver for people joining these types of groups, doxxing certainly isn’t the answer.”

      I personally agree with Mr. McAleer’s opinion on doxxing Nazis. I don't think doxxing Nazis actually makes them change their ways, instead, it isolates them from society and only makes their terrible opinion about the world stronger for themselves.

    2. Online vigilantism has been around since the early days of the internet. So has “doxxing” — originally a slang term among hackers for obtaining and posting private documents about an individual, usually a rival or enemy. To hackers, who prized their anonymity, it was considered a cruel attack.

      That's some very useful information. I've always wanted to know how the word Doxxing came to be and this article answered that question for me.

    1. Similarly, the DMCA was used to quash parodies of the German World War II movie “Downfall.” In 2010, the movie’s production company, Constantin Films, started pulling these parodies from YouTube, to which meme creators had little recourse. However, Constantin Films did not sue anyone, so it is unknown whether the parodies might have been considered fair use.

      I've actually seen those Downfall memes. They're usually just that one scene where Hitler is yelling at his officers and they would replace the subtitles would something ridiculous like “Hitler is upset over the finale of Game of Thrones”. Those memes are really funny and I'm glad they haven't been taken down.

    2. Know Your Meme is a crowdsourced database of popular memes, owned by a company that created many early memes.

      Wow, I never knew a website called Know Your Meme actually exist. I may want to check that out once in a while.

    1. I decided to choose this is one of my sources because Yesterworld is one of my favorite YouTubers and I feel like it's very important to go over the history of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs because it's one of Walt Disney's biggest crowning achievements and I feel like It deserves its own section about its history.

    1. I decided to choose this is one of my sources because Offhand Disney is one of my favorite Disney YouTubers and the interesting facts he mentions in this video are ones you usually don't see on other videos or articles about Walt Disney because these interesting facts are more corky and personal than most other interesting facts about Walt Disney.

    1. This PDF of the Walt Disney timeline will be very useful for my research topic because it gives me small summaries of key events in Walt Disney's life while also giving the dates of those key events.

    1. This is a very great article with many interesting facts about Walt Disney that even I didn't know. This will be very useful for my research topic about the life and interesting facts about Walt Disney.

    1. When a story is truly breaking, this is what it looks like. Our technique here is simple. Select some relevant text. Right-click or Cmd-click to search Google When you get to Google don’t stop, click the “News” tab to get a more curated feed Read and scan. Investigate more as necessary.

      This is very useful information for me. I have never used Twitter before, so this example will be really helpful for finding correct information on Twitter for this class.

    1. To be clear, there is a law that defines domestic terrorism but not one that charges people who commit acts of terrorism in America. People who conspire with international terrorists—even if they aren’t materially involved in an act of violence—are charged with “acts of terrorism transcending international boundaries.” But someone who sends pipe bombs to Democrats; plows through a crowd of anti-racism protesters in Charlottesville, Va.; or shoots up a church in Charleston, S.C., will not face domestic terrorism charges.

      Wow, I never knew that. I really do think that America needs to have a clear definition of committed acts of terrorism in America from regular Americans. Because a lot of those terrible acts that are mentioned at the end of the paragraph don't really sound like Hate Crimes, rather they sound more like international terrorism to me

    1. One of my favorite visionaries and historical figures of all time is Walt Disney. From his animated films to Disneyland, I have enjoyed many things that Walt Disney has created. So I've come up with two research topics that I could do for Walt Disney. The first one that I could do is a biography of Walt Disney's life and the second one I could do is a list of interesting Walt Disney facts. I decided to annotate this article because it goes over a brief description of Walt Disney's life while also giving a few interesting facts.

    1. While I am not homosexual, I have always felt that discrimination against homosexuality is completely ludicrous because I think people should love who they love. This belief that I have has giving me an idea for my research topic for my bibliography project where I look over the state of homosexuality in 2020. I decided to annotate this article because it gave a lot of good information about the state of homosexuality in 2020 and it has some links to other articles about homosexuality.
