    1. What dangers are posed with languages that have limited or no content moderation?

      There are an abundance of dangers associated with not being able to moderate certain languages. The risk of exposure to either racist, inappropriate, or hate posts highly increases if people have the liberty to post whatever they want in certain languages. Facebook is mostly used by I'd say the older generations but there are still kids who use it or even browse on their parents account that can be traumatized by the things that they have access to on this platform.

    2. Reddit is valued at more than ten billion dollars, yet it is extremely dependent on mods who work for absolutely nothing. Should they be paid, and does this lead to power-tripping mods?

      Reddit moderators should definitely be paid especially because of the platform/name the reddit has built for itself. There are always desensitize and inappropriate posts circulating throughout the website that ultimately end up getting banned but that is because moderators are so active within the community.

    1. nonymity can encourage inauthentic behavior because, with no way of tracing anything back to you1, you can get away with pretending you are someone you are not, or behaving in ways that would get your true self in trouble.

      People only act like themselves when they are the ones to face the repercussions of their actions. Anonymity gives people the liberty from facing consequences therefore they tend to act more irrationally. Existentialism says that people are defined by their actions, but if no one ever knew who did them, then actions don't help define anyone.

    1. The way we present ourselves to others around us (our behavior, social role, etc.) is called our public persona. We also may change how we behave and speak depending on the situation or who we are around, which is called code-switching.

      Code switching happens, at least to me, unconsciously and it allows me to maintain healthy interactions and connections with people around me. I find it interesting that humans can adopt these different characters of themselves, it adds depth to who people really are.
