Just as I said in my last annotation, many people argue that the research results unfold what are the popular research topics online. However, the popularity doesn't equal to righteousness, so it's important to regulate the search engine.

This shows that online research results reflect the historical bias toward certain groups of people.It can be suggested that the government or web owners should regulate and prevent this biased racial issues to ensure the equality between races online.

People all assume that the web technology should be unbiased, but they forget that the web research results are based on the frequency that people search these topics. Therefore, if people are biased, then the search results can be biased.

This reminds me of Snow Crash. In that story, people's all sorts of private information, including face print and foot print, are collected by the government and corporations. In the case of Japanese sex industry, the situation is even worse, since the website even demonstrates the current state of its employees' genitalia. I think this shows that Japanese industry doesn't respect its employees' privacy much.

In western nations, transgenders are seen as an identity based on a person's physiological choice about his or her gender. However, in Japan, Newhalf is labelled as an occupation for male-to-female trans-gendered people who work in entertainment industry. I think this shows cultural difference between Japan and western nations. This can be problematic for Newhalfs, because under the definition of Newhalfs in Japan, Newhalfs are often seen as sexy people who provide sexual services.This definition is biased and disrespectful for Newhalfs.

These sites aim at like-minded individuals, so it is like a private space for people with common interest. This is different from many western gay websites, where the purpose is introducing the knowledge of homosexuality to the public.
in the medium ofcyberspace, distinctions and imbalances in power between beings who perform themselves solely throughwriting seem to have deferred, if not effaced.
The author mentions the "imbalances in power" and"distinction" are "deferred, if not effaced."This implies that a person may have the ability to find the identity of another person on the Internet, and then this person can find out the distinction between her and the other person. For example, I can claim that I am a black girl on the Internet. Then, a person wants to have a voice chat with me, and as a result, she will find out my true identity as a Asian boy. Therefore, it can be concluded that the equality on Internet is often temporary, and people can often reveal other ones' true identity during chatting.
he suppression of racial discourse whichdoes not conform to familiar stereotypes, and the enactment of notions of the Oriental which do conform tothem, extends the promise of mobility and exchange only to those who wish to change their identities to fitaccepted norms.
This demonstrates that a person from minority groups needs to change their identity to familiar stereotypes of their own groups or white to ensure the promise of exchange of information with others. Therefore, it can be concluded that sometimes cyberspace is a place that is not completely culture-tolerant and places a high value on diversity.
but also figures it as a form of travel which is inherently recreational, exotic, andexciting, like surfing.
In the cyberspace, people can meet different people and talk about their unique lives. This is similar to a person's journey in a foreign countries. She meets different people and listens to their amazing exotic stories. Therefore, I think using tourism as a simile to the online surfing is a very wise choice for the author.
a promoter of a radically democratic form of discourse
I feel confused about "democratic form of discourse." Since people can build a new identity on the Internet, it's true that people are often equal and don't know each other's true identity on the Internet. However, I don't know how cyberspace is associated with democracy, and I don't understand what does "democratic form of discourse" mean?
hetero-sexual
Hetero-sexual is the sexual orientation , romance and sexual desire exclusively or at least primarily for persons of the other in the race are perceived.
t. It inscribes onto the maiden name the work of upholding heter-onormativity in order to ensure the fixedness required for the reliableverification of identity.
I agree with the author. In this situation, the database security experts emphasize the security of the data, but sacrifice the right of being respect of people who don't have mom or other people who can't answer this question.
. A respondent whose motherwas married but who did not change her last name, for example, must overridethe politics of their mother’s own decision regarding her name and accept thepremise of the question in order to answer it, give proof of identity, and gainaccess to basic online services.
The problem of many security questions is that they are made based on the assumptions that the person does the things asked in the questions and follows the ordinary routine of life as the most people in the society. Therefore, it's true that many marginalized people may be offended in answering these questions. Yet, I don't completely agree with the author, because almost every questions can offend someone(unless you ask some useless questions that can be easily found out in the data base of the Internet, such as your birthday and your name.) For example, if I am blind, and the security question is "what is your best color?", I will feel very sad and be offended with this question. According to this, I think it's ok for the companies to ask different kinds of security questions, but they must explain that they respect everyone and are not intended to hurt anyone before letting people answer their security questions.
Security questions do this cultural work by filtering users through mainstreamexpectations about normalcy and problematic presumptions of universality.
The "normalcy" and "universality" used by the author demonstrates a problem that the security questions don't emphasize the diversity and distinction of individuals. For example, if I am a person that self-identifies as "middle gender ” between female and male, I may fail to pass the security questions of a social media account, because it only has two options, male and female.
