With the recent news of an entire team of workers being laid off during negotiations through the AWU, I'm even more wary of this issue. Many tech companies are increasingly unethical in their decisions, and increasing tech ethics education is extremely important.

This is especially nefarious if used for the purposes of political gain. An example of this is the 2020 election Cambridge Analytica scanal.

This model is something that can lead to the formation of an alt-right pipeline. I researched this heavily during iNFO 200. and found Meta and YouTube to be the biggest offenders.

Sometimes, public shaming is done for the wrong reasons and is morally reproachable. In these instances, I wonder what social media sites themselves can do to protect their users, whether it be through content moderation or other means.

Sometimes, public shaming does not follow these conventions and causes more moral harm than good. In these instances, I wonder how social media sites themselves can protect users against public shaming, whether it be through content moderation or other means.

I definitely agree and see the effects of this statement. With social media comes the pressure to share our life, which compounds into the pressure to live a perfect one.

This is especially interesting to me. Public accounts such as those on twitter, in tandem with the platform's 'trending' page and recommendation algorithms, have a huge effect on public opinion and can have real-world consequences.

This is something I have seen often, and has almost become a meme. Since it is so mainstream, I wonder how accessible software to track IP addreses is and whether or not this should be regulated.

An interesting ethical dilemma to consider - many AI models are trained off of 'crowdsourced' data. For example, image creation models often are trained through actual artists' work. this raises the question of whether or not AI models are theft, since without others' intellectual property, they'd have no training source data.

Another example could be GoFundMe, or Kickstarter. These are sites designed for crowdsourcing funding.

It's important to note that some content moderation teams at Instagram and facebook are made up of underpaid and overworked employees from developing countries, who are subjected to hours of inappropriate and potentially upsetting content. This raises an ethical question for content moderation.

One thing that came to mind with this paragraph is AI-generated content. Many sites, especially Facebook and Twitter, would benefit from having effective Ai-generated content moderation, as there are many fake users on these sites.

Another reason for doomscrolling ma be that since we are so overstimulated by everything we see on social media, we are inherently more numb to information. As a result, we seek out more and more emotionally rousing news and information, something which recommendation algorithms are happy to facilitate.

This concept that social media enhances real-world loneliness is especially interesting. An extreme version of this may be the incel community on sites like 4chan, who are fundamentally isolated and disillusioned by society.

It's interesting to consider how the popularity of meme culture might interact with advertising efforts. For example, there was widespread speculation that the 2019 'AirPods meme', which dpeitced AIrPods as a immense, meme-ified excess and luxury, was in fact created by Apple to enhance Airpods sales. At that time, the product was close to failing in the market, but since then they've become almost ubiquitious.

I remember reading about chain mail in emails and intenret forums in the early days of the internet, and then experiencing somethingng similar on Instagram in the early 2010s. It's interesting to see how such phenomena can transcend time and medium.

This reminds me of Microsoft's AI resume sequencing adn analysis bots. They were trained in a similar way to recommendation systems, and were proven to be consistently racist in their recomendations.

This reminds me of services like Amazon Alex and Siri (especially the 'Hey Siri' function). Since they use voice recognition to activate, they physically have to be listening all the time, so it's feasible for companies to actually do this.

This is a very interesting and important assertion. A disables person's experience may vary widely depending on their income and what they have access to.

Designing mobile apps and websites for those who are colorblind, which involves high-contrast colors and intentional choices about text placement, is an interesting field.

This is especially dangerous for social media sites like Instagram and Twitter. Many people utilize these sites' messaging platforms as if they are equivalent to SMS messaging, but fail to realize that their information may be available to third parties.

This is something I have had come to my attention fairly recently. I noticed that Apple included a new feature when exporting images that allows the user to toggle whether or not to include location metadata.

This is another very interesting example of ethical trolling, or trolling for the social good. It highlights the power that we, as computer scientists and users of the internet, hold.

A presidential campaign using this data, and a platform allowing it to do so, is especially insidious when you consider how much the average person's view of the world is influenced by what we see online. The power of these systems is noted in many different phenomena, such as the alt-right pipeline

This is an interesting anecdote, as you don't often see the positive aspect of this issue. trolling can be an incredibly valuable and important way of protecting people on the internet, especially as more and more things are connected to computers and the Internet.

In my opinion, this is the most interesting motive for trolling. It definitely catches people's attention and makes them laugh in a way other social justice message spreading methodologies don't, and I believe it's an effective way of furthering your cause. The FBI MLK tweet is a great example of this.

I find it interesting psychologically when people like this individual consturct these elaborate lies, but do not try to directly profit off of them. It's remarkable how deep somoene's need for attention can go.

It's interesting how our expectation and the notion we enter an interaction with determine how it goes for us. this is especially true online, where you can't physically see someone to make judgements.

I have often heard of hateful and dangerous content being spread on 'no-rules' social media sites like 4chan. It makes me wonder what, psychologically, is the draw of posting this content and whether or not users can be legally persecuted.

This is an interesting site architecture. I can't think of any current relevant social media platforms that use this.

This is especially interesting to me, as it brings up some privacy concerns when sharing photos online. I have noticed that Apple recently introduced a feature that allows you to hide Location metadata in pictures.

It's interesting to see that strings can have more design attributes than what is organically allowed on Twitter. For example, I have often seen people using downloaded keyboards to change the font of their tweets.

This was a highly interesting article. I found it to be even more pertinent today, as training language models without bias is becoming increasingly important to our digital landscape.

Another example of useful and desired bots were the hourly song lyric bots on Twitter. When Twitter removed free support of such bots, many people were upset, showing the significance bots may have to an online community.

The U.S. Army's Leadership Values, encapsulated in the acronym LDRSHIP (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage), align with various moral frameworks. These values exhibit compatibility with virtue ethics through the cultivation of virtuous character traits, resonate with deontological principles through a focus on duty, and demonstrate connections to consequentialism and utilitarianism, particularly in the promotion of positive outcomes and selfless service. Additionally, the values align with Kantian ethics by emphasizing respect for individuals, and they embrace care ethics by highlighting relationships and commitment to others. Overall, the Army's values encompass a diverse ethical perspective, incorporating duty, virtue, consequences, individual worth, and community well-being within the context of military ethics.
