“it’s not a crime when White freelance vigilantes and agents of ‘the state’ are serial killers of unarmed Black people, but when Black people kill each other then we are ‘animals’ or ‘criminals.’”

There is a ban against pictures of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character often used by “alt-right” white supremacists to perpetrate racist memes, but swastikas are allowed under a rule that permits the “display [of] hate symbols for political messaging.”

By comparison, Facebook was the buttoned-down Ivy League social network — all cool grays and blues. Real names and university affiliations were required. Chris Kelly, who joined Facebook in 2005 and was its first general counsel, said he wanted to make sure Facebook didn’t end up in law enforcement’s crosshairs, like MySpace.

but only for computers located in Thailand.

The challenge of policing political expression is even more complex. The documents reviewed by ProPublica indicate, for example, that Donald Trump’s posts about his campaign proposal to ban Muslim immigration to the United States violated the company’s written policies against “calls for exclusion” of a protected group. As The Wall Street Journal reported last year, Facebook exempted Trump’s statements from its policies at the order of Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s founder and chief executive.

the company’s hate-speech rules tend to favor elites and governments over grassroots activists and racial minorities. In so doing, they serve the business interests of the global company, which relies on national governments not to block its service to their citizens.

“All white people are racist. Start from this reference point, or you’ve already failed,” Delgado wrote. The post was removed and her Facebook account was disabled for seven days

“Hunt them, identify them, and kill them,” declared U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican. “Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.”

She has even disclosed that Sesame Credit has approached China's Education Bureau about sharing a list of its students who cheated on national examinations, in order to make them pay into the future for their dishonesty.

We're also bound to see the birth of reputation black markets selling under-the-counter ways to boost trustworthiness. In the same way that Facebook Likes and Twitter followers can be bought, individuals will pay to manipulate their score. What about keeping the system secure? Hackers (some even state-backed) could change or steal the digitally stored information.

"Someone who frequently buys diapers would be considered as probably a parent, who on balance is more likely to have a sense of responsibility."

does the citizen pay their electricity or phone bill on time?

Imagine a world where many of your daily activities were constantly monitored and evaluated:

I am not a maker. In a framing and value system is about creating artifacts, specifically ones you can sell, I am a less valuable human.

We call the latter "education," and it’s mostly done by underpaid, undervalued women.

It’s not, of course, that there’s anything wrong with making (although it’s not all that clear that the world needs more stuff).

But behind every one is an invisible infrastructure of labor—primarily caregiving, in its various aspects—that is mostly performed by women

made by or at the order of men

I’ve moved from the question of “How do we express ourselves on the internet?” to “How do we be better people on the internet?”

We talk about building identity, portfolios, public persona, getting noticed.

So, I’m asking to be fairly recognized as being associated with similar work. I would appreciate being mentioned in your literature in an appropriate way that gives me my due. My main interest is in getting credit and I’d like to work with both of you on the best way to provide attribution.

As for “exploitation,” this runs counter to my intellectual commitment to sharing knowledge freely. I do not mean, in this case, that art should be given away, but rather that artists and their representation should be more conscious about exactly what they are exploiting and should question the durability of a model of art centered on exploiting artists

For example, by comparing larger groups of summed films we can ask new research questions about film genres, historical periods, or national cinemas. Have animated films gotten darker over time?

So, in discussing my work, I acknowledge visual artists whose work I have used as a conceptual base to expand my thinking about film, the digital, and duration,

if Shulman’s work was created in “a different way” than mine, then it would not violate copyright, and if it did not violate copyright, then the gallerist could see no reason not to continue the exhibition.

These images were unmistakably similar to the distinctive work I had been producing for years, and it was not long before friends started writing to let me know.

 I’ve argued that in these spaces, no matter how we choose to perform our identity, we end up branding ourselves.

Digital sociality practices and networked publics moved increasingly towards asynchronous mediated communications, rather than the interruptive, immediate demands of telephones

This makes the act of choosing to follow or “friend” another person always already a public, performative statement (see above)

Our social networking platforms are increasingly neo-liberal “Me, Inc” spaces where we are exhorted to monetize and to “find our niche.

within my networks I am both a creator of my own content but also a consumer of that which my peers produce and share.

In social networks, our network contacts are visible and articulated, and our actions and contributions are quantified.

Status and scale in social networks are frequently treated as overtly measurable attributes

how this self differs from previous cultural conceptions of identity and subjectivity.

 I am interested in what we do that makes us who we are in social media spaces, thus my concept of digital identity is practice-based.

UMW helps them have more control over their scholarship, data, and digital identity.

“I wanted them to see and be aware of all of the options and the control that they are giving up when services such as Facebook are their primary web presence,”

But none of them had a presence online they were in control of before this.”

There is an understandable learning curve to helping students manage their online presence via their own domain. “At first there was a fair amount of fumbling around, Googling solutions, and trying to understand their options,

track growth and demonstrate new learning over the course of a student’s school career
