This wikipedia article goes in depth about what a “concern troll” is. A “concern troll” is considered a form of internet slang that's used when describing an individual who pretends to support a group but secretly is working against them. The person can suggest actions that would harm the group by either hurting their credibility or make the members turn against each other. Overall this person is engaging in very deceptive behavior acting like they support a group's efforts while in reality they are against the group.

I've found that recently trolling has become a very very common thing on both the internet and in real life. People tend to find amusement in seeing others confused or upset from something one initiated. I find this behavior pretty interesting because you would think someone would be embarrassed by getting that reaction from other individuals but its the complete opposite from these trollers as this is their primary goal. Trolling helps empower them and make them feel higher and smarter than others.

This article is how David Robinson, a director of engineering at contentsquare analyzed multiple tweets from Donald Trump where he discovered that Trump's account was being posted from two different devices. More promotional and general tweets most likely from staff being posted from an iPhone, while more emotional and not so nice tweets being posted from an Android, most likely from Trump himself.

Yes, I very much believe that it matters whether or not a human typed a Tweet, especially if the Tweet is coming from a public figure. I believe that authenticity is the main factor here as its completely lost if a bot were to post a tweet instead of an actual person. For example if a public figure were to post something very controversial, theres a possibly that most people would feel a connection or get triggered by this comment. However, if a bot were to post the same tweet I don't think there would be much of a response from the public since the tweet lost its authenticity as it wasn't from a real person.

This wikipedia article is about Emails, which is short for electronic mail and was one of the first ways of digital communication over the internet and originated in the late 20th century, becoming very common in the professional world in the past and is still common to this day.

In my opinion I think that the fact that email has been around since the 60s and 70s is crazy, it just feels so normal now yet I know it must have been a massive deal back then especially when it first came out. Even with all of the new modern apps like whatsapp and instagram, email is still around and used regularly especially for professional communication. I wonder what has allowed it to still stay modern? Is it the structure or how old it is?

This article highlights the massive social media app, Twitter now known as X. It was originally created for short messages and was launched in 2006 becoming a hit. It was then bought by Elon Musk in 2022 in order to make it a 'free speech' website. It rebranded and now has a ton of controversy surrounding it and the posts.

As someone who works with a lot of photographs and videos, I actually notice a lot! Lots of my photographs get compressed and lose a ton of quality when the file is smaller to help conserve more storage. But are there ways to prevent the computer from automatically running the compression algorithms if I would like to keep all of the data and quality?

This article highlights the insane operations of click farms and the way that these click farms create artificial engagement on social media to help boost its clients. Personally I believe that this is a negative operation on both sides, on society and on the operators. I personally think that generating artificial engagement is unethical to society despite not causing physical harm to others. Additionally if these operations MUST continue, I believe it's unethical to use human operators rather than bots. Humans should not have to work under these harsh conditions, sitting in front of 100's of screens for hours when a bot can be programmed to do this all.

Personally I believe that this paragraph here is very realistic but also a bit frightening at the same time to think that humans can create bots to cause trouble either through simple trolling or as harsh as impersonation. I am wondering though if we would consider accounts that automatically impersonate and contact accounts as bots? If a human messages through the bot but the account and impersonation is created through code, is it still considered a bot?

I agree with this statement very much as when I was young my father always would tell me something similar with my brothers. When my siblings and I made fun of each other or 'trolled' each other, he always told us to ignore the other because if you did, they would stop. The one trolling didn't want anything more than a reaction for their entertainment.

I would say I disagree with the Divine Command Theory as I believe that although many religions encourage their followers to do what is 'right', that should not be the sole reason for doing an action that is good. I believe people should take action in something good because they truly believe in themselves that the action is good and morally correct, not only because a God says it is morally correct.
