    1. Text analysis of Trump's tweets confirms he writes only theAndroid half was published on. Text analysis of Trump's tweets confirms he writes only the (angrier) Android half. August 2016. URL: http://varianceexplained.org/r/trump-tweets/ (visited on 2023-11-24).

      This article codes through all of Donal Trump's tweets at the time to compare the 628 tweets from iPhone and 762 tweets from Android to see if there is a clear difference between the two, as it is hypothesized that Trump only personally posts from an Android. This includes looking at the time posted, images included, and how other posts are retweeted. Next, the article finds that most of the emotionally charged words are exclusive to the Android and that the iPhone has nearly every hashtag and event announcement.

    1. How do you think about the authenticity of the Tweets that come from others in Trump’s campaign?

      When I see posts that are not made by Trump himself, they feel completely inauthentic. However, I believe that him having this is much less harmful to the United States's image than what he posts as his authentic self. Since moving to Truth Social, Trump has posted problematic ai art that includes extremely racist imagery. After seeing the posts from Trump's authentic self, seeing authenticity from social media posts does not seem important.

    1. Federal Trade Commission. FTC Alleges Facebook Resorted to Illegal Buy-or-Bury Scheme to Crush Competition After String of Failed Attempts to Innovate. August 2021. URL: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2021/08/ftc-alleges-facebook-resorted-illegal-buy-or-bury-scheme-crush-competition-after-string-failed (visited on 2023-11-24).

      This source talks about the Federal Trade Commission's complaint regarding Facebook and their anti-trust actions on their mobile platform. This occurred by Facebook illegally acquiring competitors instead of innovating their products. Another thing in the FTC complaint is that Facebook started as an open space for third party software developers and then abruptly made these developers agree to conditions that prevented any successful apps to emerge as a threat to Facebook. The article ends by saying that this case to file the complaint was presented in front of federal judges and won 3-2.

    1. When one of us ran the program, who made those posts (me? you? the bot?)?

      I personally believe that the person who made the post is the person who ran it. I don't think that the bot made the code but is closer to a tool that can be used like a shovel. I also think that the person who made the post is simply the person who created the tool to make the post.

    1. Taoism

      Another thing to add about Taoism is the idea of Yin and Yang. This idea is that the world is composed of opposing forces that must exist in harmony. There is also a belief that the concept of good or bad does not exist.
