Doxing is short for dropping documents, is an act of publicly revealing someone's private, sensitive information without their consent, these information can include full name, home address, phone number, ip address, workplace, school , private photo or messages, social media account information etc. Doxing is a serious violation of privacy and often used to harass or harm someone.

some of the features on social media platform that I consider were being used for harassment are sharing private videos, messages, images to others without permission of the owner or the person involved in them, creating hateful, racism content, such as Instagram reels or TikTok videos that are violation of the platform policy.

wikipedia is a good example of crowdsourcing because it relies on the contribution from a lot group of people, their information are crucial for the platform, the people around the world can edit, create and updating the content to help others to find the information they need. there no "information leader", anyone who has internet access can contribute.

social media company has significant responsibility for crowd actions taking by users on its platform, especially when those actions are involving harms, violent, or violate ethical. social media companies need to set rules and guidelines for acceptable behaviors, and transparency, a lot of information's on the platform are not clear enough and need to be transparent to the public.

Spamming means a large number of unwanted or irrelevant messages such as email, message, chat or comments and link spam. This usually is a violation of the social media platform. The person who created spam is called spammer. It closely related to scam and advertisement

I have reported post/comment for violating social media platform rule, I assume video game is a form of social media, and I reported a lor of players for being toxic or racist or harassment. I never got banned for saying inappropriate stuff but I did get banned for quit in the middle of the game. which technically count as violation of the rules. Whoever has the ability to ban others has the most power, the rest has the least power.

I personally isn't a fan of those beauty filters, they are simply not realistic and intentionally increase the beauty standard of the public, because there's no way for people to find out if this is what people truly looks like, create a fake perfect looking that is impossible for people to achieve. People compare themselves with filtered faces, this can lead to shame, body dysmorphia, depression etc.

Social media helps me to be more connected to supportive friends and strengthen our friendship. it provides a platforms for me to express my creativity, such as music, photography and other interests. Social media also provide a lot of educated information, not just academically, also things like mental health.

Systemic bias is a bias that is built into the structure, policy or algorithm , it can be inside of government facility, workplace, school etc., its a result of unfair treatment to a certain group of people, often not recognize by themselves. an example can be if a company's hiring algorithm constantly filters out minorities, even if it is unintentional, it is still systemic bias.

I was looking for a product review of a camera I was interested in, and I kept searching key words of this camera for quiet a long time, and then half of my homepage is all just product review of the same camera, I clicked I don't want this content but it just keep showing up, my old algorithms which I really like is almost destroyed.

the social model of disability is basically saying that the main source of disability barrier is the society, not just one person's opinion or body. I took a class about disability, and the basic idea is there are two models, medical model and social mode, medical model is something that one person is "missing" and need to be fixed, social model is more about social environment that exclude or disadvantage them.

Disability is often socially constructed, what counts as disability depends on what society expect people to do, for example, not able to breath underwater is not a disability, because we don't need to, but not able to see, speak, talk, walk, etc are disability because society expect everyone to be able to do these.

DM stands for direct message, such as private chat between 2 people, apps like discord, iMessage, X, Instagram etc all have similar function for user. The important thing this only you and the other person can see and use it, not shared to the public, keep the conversation personal and private.

the key part of privacy is to keep sensitive matters confidential. privacy include keep your action, conversation and personal space private instead of public. Something that we usually discuss and could be embarrassing can be personally feelings, personal interests, feelings about others, politiacal views etc.

This article talks about why stack overflow doesn't allow ai generated content on the website, here are some of the main points: ai generated content doesn't always correct, the content often won't consider some of the important factors such as optimization etc, people who needs help most likely already asked Ai about their question before seek help etc..

There are a lot of information that data mining can discover, of course social media companies are able to do it but it doesn't mean they should do it can be sensitive information ,such as mental health status. financial status, political point of view etc. which are violation of privacy, these things can lead to targeting the audience that are involved in these topics and can influence their point of view or even addiction.

I personally think this is hilarious, I can't believe people actually think spaghetti grows on trees, but this is also park of the joke right? to watch people fell for the joke. Given the credibility of BBC, It makes me think does authority defines what's the truth? How do people know if the authority is telling the truth?

One thing I noticed when I use difference social media is that there is a difference in the "level" of amusement, or different type, I meanly use instagram and if you look at the comment section under every reels that mentions minorities, there's 100 percent n-word in the comment section, most people know it's a funny joke, peace and love most of the time, but not on tiktok, you either get banned or so much downvote that your comment gets deleted. there's a difference in the level of accepts or sensitivity.

Before I clicked on the website to see the actual content, I thought it was another matter that the real name system led to the disclosure of user privacy. When I saw that this controversy was actually caused by the user name, I was quite shocked, because Chinese names are basically four characters at most, and I have never encountered the situation that the name is too long or cannot be recognized for some reason, but now with AI, Things should improve

Personally for some reason, I seems to have different personalities based on who am I talking to. The base line is still same of course, I am not gonna suddenly become a bad person when facing different people. It's just I express myself in a different way. I still believe whether I express myself in a different way or not, I am not lying or faking anything, I am still having conversation based on the situation and how I feel, so I don' think this compromise my authenticity at all.

Initially I didn't even know these funny looking faces are from the Rage Comics, there are a lot of memes are based on these faces. I particularly like the hand draw art style, very recognizable on the internet, this is one of the reason why it went viral. Another reason I think it went viral is because the meme generator makes it so easy for other user to create their own meme.

One thing I noticed after years of using search engines like google or baidu, is that its getting harder and harder to find the exact answer to your questions. the first half of the page is all sponsor's ad which is most of the time not relate to my questions at all. Even if it is related, the content itself is more favor towards their product than solve the question I have. So I think sponsor's ad makes difficult for someone perfrom the use case.

one of the comment in this post thats pretty interesting to me is by what matric is a account considered a bot? I am wondering the same question too, obviously twitter can't just monitor user's screen to see if it is a human or a computer program, so I guess what twitter or other app did is to analysis the behavior of an account, such as an account post 100 posts in 1 second, which is not possible for human to do, so this account is a bot, but there's really no clear line between human and a bot, what if a human has 100 computers and ask 100 humans to click post at the same time.

As an international student, this question bothers me a lot, especially if I am traveling to another country. for example, I am currently in the US and my flight is from the US to Japan. if someone ask me which country are you from, what am I suppose to say, is this "country" means my citizenship or just where my flight took off.

I feel like this is one of the cases when bot or algorithm tries to trick another algorithm, as far as I know, account with more followers gets more attention, more chances to be on the top page and spread faster and wider, none of these a beginner account have, that's why things like buy fans exist, these fans can trick the algorithm and make the account get more exposed to the public and attract real fans

I think what people expect from bot tends to be they are very direct, it only follow the direction from the creator and only can accomplish simply tasks, without do any actual thinking. While humans are much more "flexible", they are response based on what they seeing and their own thinking. Bot only follow orders while human share opinions.

this reminds me of a saying: "On the trace regardless of the heart, on the heart of the world's few perfect people" from the Qing Dynasty Confucian popular book 围炉夜话. translate to "Around the Furnace Night Talk", meaning that the external behavior performance as the basis for evaluating others, without the need to explore their inner true thoughts, otherwise there is no perfect person in the world

I think the reason why this twitter post went viral was because racism is such a sensitive topic and it often attract a lot of attention, people talk about it, comments about it, argue against each other, also jokes about it, this allows more and more people retweet about it, include celebrities, lead this post become viral.
