      Systemic bias is an ongoing issue it's something that also intersects with racism. It also overlaps with institutional and structural bias. Counterproductive work behavior, mistreatment of Human Resources are all examples from various sectors of consequences of systemic bias.

    1. What experiences do you have of social media sites making particularly good recommendations for you?

      One good experience is have is TikTok's recommendation algorithm. I think it's very accurate in suggesting content that aligns with my interests. There's times where I would watch a few clips and the algorithm would quickly pick up on it and begins showing me more content related to that.

      One way design can be more inclusive and diverse is through making it more accessible for those who are color blind. Individuals with color blindness face challenges.

    1. When designers and programmers don’t think to take into account different groups of people, then they might make designs that don’t work for everyone. This problem often shows up in how designs do or do not work for people with disabilities. But it also shows up in other areas as well. The following tweet has a video of a soap dispenser that apparently was only designed to work for people with light-colored skin

      With design I believe that inclusivity and diversity are the two things that should always be prioritized. Having considered diverse perspectives and needs will underscore the broader issue.

      I think when it comes to law enforcement I would think it's ok to track because they use it to prevent crimes and such things. But as far as companies they might use it for preference and ads but I think most users don't know they are being tracked so they should take steps further to consent and protect privacy.

      I found this really interesting. Even now days with misinformation, deepfake and everything I feel like most people can't the difference between what is real and fake. But I do believe that now that it's more common some other could tell if it is fake but in the earlier days I don't think a lot of people would question what is fake or real.

      I've watched this movie multiple of times it's honestly one of my favorites. One thing that stuck with me is the character and pursuit of success even though the movie raises questions about what cost him to get there. The movie is deeper than just the origins of Facebook but it touches up on things such as loyalty and such which all just comes together perfectly.

    1. One of the early ways of social communication across the internet was with Email [e5], which originated in the 1960s and 1970s. These allowed people to send messages to each other, and look up if any new messages had been sent to them.

      I found this website really interesting, people can really just go on the website to buy not only followers but likes and views on different social media platforms. As far as the price goes I was surprised they aren't costing more, I tried out 500 TikTok likes and came out around $6 and I just assumed buying would cost more.

      Locke's ethical framework promoted individuals autonomy, equality and justice for all. It emphasizes the importance of protecting human rights. Over time though there has been different definitions who "everyone" was and so this framework overtime require adaptation to address everyone.
