    1. Dead internet theory. October 2026. Page Version ID: 1377898523. URL:

      I agree with the reading a lot because I feel that the bigger issue is not necessarily that bots exist, but that we may eventually have a lot of trouble knowing whether the content and interactions we see online are actually coming from real people. If we users can't tell what is human and what is from a bot, it could change how much we trust information and even how we understand social media itself. When surfacing the web even now, we don't know what is completely real and it's important to stay cautious on social media.

    1. Why do you think social media platforms allow bots to operate?

      I think social media platforms allow bots to operate because they make the platform more efficient and productive. Many platforms have customer service features, and it is easier to have a bot handle basic questions so users do not have to wait a long time for a real person to respond. Platforms also have thousands to millions of users every day, so there is a lot of activity and traffic to manage. Bots can help organize different features and keep things running smoothly. They can also be useful for tasks like recommending content or helping with moderation.

    1. Justine lost her job at IAC, apologized, and was later rehired by IAC.

      I think people need to spread more awareness about how easily social media users and companies forget or forgive someone who did something wrong. They act like nothing ever happened. I don't think it's right that she was rehired. She should have known better, especially since she works in public relations.

    1. But just because we use an ethics framework to look at a situation doesn’t mean that we will come out with a morally good conclusion.

      I agree with this statement because using an ethics framework doesn't necessarily mean you're going to lead to the right answer. Different frameworks can lead people to completely different decisions because we all have different ethics and we all have different opinions. We all interpret information differently, which is why I believe it is important to consider multiple ethical frameworks instead of just relying on one when making a decision.
