Article talks about how Einstein initiated the Manhattan Project by telling the President at the time the Nazi Germans were creating nuclear bombs. Even though he was denied clearance for the projected, his equation on E = MC^2 had a major influence. After the nuclear bombings in Japan, he lamented his role in the bombings by holding responsibility.

Definitely showed how difficult it is to create moderation rules for social media. Most importantly, the decision behind them. Using ethical frameworks for guidance is a good way to reinforce what we want to put out there for how communities communicate.

Article talks about life of Stellan Skarsgard. Interview questions directed towards Stellan ask about his values and fatherhood when it comes to acting. He likes to play not so smart characters. He also says that his children boosted his career by teaching him more about being human.

Easiest decisions were denying complaints that didn't adhere to my policies I chose. Hardest decisions was using those that affect team morale

Article talks about connecting shame and trauma when a child starts to learn about their behaviors. If taught properly how to emotionally handle shame, parents can set boundaries and connect with their children in order to teach them that some of their behaviors come with consequences. It's important to let them know it's OK to feel the same but it's a way to learn from it. Children will eventually learn that actions cause different reactions which will in turn prevent further shame. If a parent is absent to show how to regulate these emotions of shame, it can lead to isolation and uncontrolled emotional behavior fueled by chronic anger.

There are level of factors that can be applied here. Does it target a group of people in a negative way? Does it show ignorance? Does a post show support for racism? Basically, any universal moral value that aims to hurt people.

Articles talks about how someone harassing them since they were 12 years old. The author of the post, Roni Jackobson metsomeone at a camp named Danny. They were friends at first but it became apparent that Danny was clingy towards Roni. She went forward in trying to ghost him but years later, he showed up at her college in order to ask her to eat dinner with him. After multiple attempts of cutting ties with her, messages leaned heavily towards harassment. Eventually, Danny started to spoof her email in which he was stealing her identity and posing as Roni. It wasn't until 2014 where reported it to the police that she realized she was going through cyberstalking.

For doing something morally wrong, yes. It could bring about a sort of justice that courts cannot deal with. Someone making racist remarks online? Call them out and put them on blast. However, if it's something on the line of crowd harassing someone because you don't like them, no. Not only does it affect their lives on a larger scale, it creates a space where one person who is being harassed cannot defend themselves.

I watched a video of an employee for a company who uses a robot to represent herself. She made up some rules when it comes to interacting with an employee who uses one of these robots. One of the rules is to not touch the employee's robot. Other things include not talking behind it so they know where you're speaking from. Video is interesting because it shows how technology being used to represent ourselves can cause a nuance of issues with social interaction. As if we're already have certain rules for human interaction, we're transitioning into a society where social interaction now revolves around technology. Whether it's raising your had in a zoom call to speak or talking to ChatGPT like a human when asking questions.

There are instances where this can help and ways that it can do more harm than good. Intentions here were good but with joint witch hunting, it seems that folks online can get blinded from the possible repercussions of identifying a criminal incorrectly. It sure does happen already in the justice system but obviously can extend the harm due to human error in the online space. I still do think it's a good thing such as locating a vehicle using a license plate number in an Amber alert but when it comes to just a person looks, it can get hairy.

Article talks about how Facebook shifted away from giving special privileges in terms of content moderation to political figures. This includes fact checking politicians from the spread of misinformation. One notable cause of this is due to the January attack on the Capital. Facebook blocked Trump's ability to post anymore but other's saw it as unjust. I feel as though this is a highly debatable and arguable mention due to the fact that violence rose from social media. With content moderation, this may have been avoided or at least mitigated to the point where a violent riot was not ensued.

In online multiplayer games I play, I usually try to report others for inappropriate comments. Sometimes I get notified that people get banned. Sometimes I don't. I'm not sure how much of it affects the people who spread toxicity in the gaming community especially in the online space but I try to do my due diligence.

Article talks about what trauma dumping is and where it came from. It's described as sharing unsolicited personal trauma, also known as emotional dumping. It was first added in the Urban Dictionary in February 24th, 2010 by user JLLee as "unloading all ofyour emotional crap unmercifully onto one or more of your friends". It did not see social media traction until about 2021 when a viral meme spread its meaning.

Interesting take. I've always thought that taking breaks from social media is a good thing. In hindsight, it doesn't solve the issues surrounding social media. This can be from toxicity to over consumption of content. I do think taking breaks are good but social media interaction is an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved.

Article stalks about how Elon Musk steals jokes, mostly posts and memes, from other users after the purchase of Twitter which is now known as X. In one comparison, Musk makes a joke about soap. The original poster shows is posting at 4:23PM while Musks makes a post exactly like it 3 minutes later.

I remember this video coming out and thought it was the most hilarious thing. I for one didn't see the comments of him being mocked but I can see how viral videos like this can put a stain on someone's reputation.

Article talks about how Facebook's data base was breached and scraped data on about 530 million users. The kicker is Facebook did not choose to notify their users. Although fixed, Facebook reached a settlement in court for not protecting the privacy of their users. User's data was scraped using a defunct feature that allowed people to be searched by phone numbers.

The fact that my information is everywhere. Whether it's my e-mail address receiving spam mail or even my phone number. I also don't like the fact that they use my data to target ads towards me. There should be more distinction and transparency to how our data is being used.

Articles talk about how Facebook collects data from people who aren't users on their social platform. They collect data using shadow profiles. The term doesn't mean that users actually have a profile but there is enough data collected by them to make one. One way of collecting data without their knowledge is they mentioned connecting FB's API with like buttons for ads and such on other websites that get sent back to HQ when interacted with. That data can be used to track IP address and target FB ads right back to the user without them being signed up for FB.

It's scary to think that one day, I'll be talking about computer parts with a friend. The next thing I know, I'm getting advertising on Instagram and other social media websites about the next big graphics card that is coming out. I also know that with advertisement, area codes are also used to target certain audiences when it comes to specific products.

Kellogg employees went on strike but the company decided to handle this by hiring replacement workers.

A Twitter use shared some code that sent in fake applications to Kellogg. Although trolling, it seemed a somewhat of a tactical way to delay the hiring process in order to give the worker's fair pay and treatment. This is probably one of the better ways of trolling where it's going towards advocacy in worker rights and treatment.

I've usually seen them ending with arguments but usually it's trolling back such as calling them offensive names and what not.

I believe the best way to deal with trolling is to not engage because it only gives them what they want which is a reaction.

In summary, a BethAnn created a fake Twitter account in order to spread awareness of the MeTooStem movement. The movement went out to bring out the subtle dangers of STEM in education that surrounded sexual harassment towards women. However, the fake account took advantage of an ethnic culture in order to create falsified claims and an identity in order to push agenda with the addition of raising money. After faking the fake person's death, it was soon found out that the account was run by none other than her while the professor she portrayed never existed. Not only did this show inauthenticity, the situation took advantage of another culture group's social issue in order to push another which in turn caused distraught and anger amongst the Native community.

I'm part of different discord groups. The way that I chat or present myself differs between each group. It also depends on my comfort level. With my close friends, I can be open and talk about whatever. In groups I'm not as close with, I usually stay reserved which I believe doesn't show my true authentic self. I don't think it compromises my authenticity, it just takes me a while to warm up.

Article talks about the downfall of Myspace. About 500 people were laid off in 2011, which is close to 50 percent of the workforce. A timeline shows Myspace's growth and downfall. In 2005, it was reported that the site had 27 million users. Site was also popular for musical artists. 2006, it was projected to have 200 million users. However, the company start to lose its identity in 2009 after the COO and two senior vice presidents left. It seemed that the business was growing out of control and possible DMC strikes were made since people were able to download artist's music from their website.

I'm just gonna fire off ideas that come off the top of my head - find good places to eat - learn a new hobby - find places to visit - keep up with sports news - how to videos (instructional) learning a skill - how to fix something - what my friends are doing - browse a community that relates to you - reviews/opinions on products (decide what to buy)

Article talks about Kareem Carr and how he pushes the idea that 2+2 = 5 depends on many different things (in his words, axioms). It sparked controversy on Twitter but is mentioned in Popular Mechanics that he speaks some truth due to certain aspects such as chemistry and physics. 2 cups baking soda + 2 cups vinegar for example means more than 4 cups of reacted foam that produces. It's also an idea that has been around for a century where Math has been pushed beyond what is on paper when it comes to just numbers. For example, a 5 on a scale for pain could mean something different for many people. Could mean it hurts a lot or not as much.

Making posts about a country that you visit. Could say something like this place is dirty and it will give others the idea that a certain place isn't nice to visit. May affect other's opinions and plans when it comes to visiting a place for vacation or just the overall thought of a place.

Article talks about how Star Wars: The Last Jedi overall view and opinions of the film were affected by bots outside of the U.S. It tied with political agenda in which social media is being used to push political agendas and for some reason the film had one behind it. Shows that bots can be harmful when gathering data or consensus of a general opinion; or even yet, a political one.

As AI is continue to grow, this is a prime example of mechanisms and policies that need to be put into place in order to prevent bots from gaining a negatively biased language model. Testing on racist comments wasn't part of the development process which without it can further the already existent cyberbullying space.

Tweet targets an entire continent of people and their culture. If she visited my home country, I'd be furious as well. Ultimately, users wanted some sort of punishment and spreading word seemed like the one way ticket to justice. No courtroom is going punish her from saying racist comments so what better way than to jeopardize her job by connecting her employment with a company?

In the form of social media, I can see this backfiring when respecting elderly or absolute authority in terms of politics or business relations. What comes to mind is a story of a woman who created TikTok videos of the benefits of being a single independent women. However, a politician leader ridiculed her lifestyle disproportionately comparing her to the American representation of a family which is being married and having kids. Not only did this cause cyber bullying against the woman, the politician's respectable seat of power was used to push an image that doesn't apply to everyone further causing marginalization of women. All of which is because he had a platform and millions of people that respected him due to his age and backgorund.
