    1. Anya Kamenetz. Facebook's own data is not as conclusive as you think about teens and mental health. NPR, Octobe

      This talks about the harm that Facebook causes on teenagers and how the numbers are higher than you would think. Basically how horrible medias algorithm can be.

    1. In what ways have you found social media bad for your mental health and good for your mental health?

      I have found communities online that help with different thing such as body positivity, immigrant groups, and after life of pro athletes. This helps me so much because I can get a visual feel on how many people have the same struggles with me. But on the negative side social media has many people that like to use it just to bring down confidence and make you feel less than.

    1. How do you think attribution should work when copying and reusing content on social media (like if you post a meme or gif on social media)?

      I think If you are lets say doing a TikTok dance made by a different person you could put in the caption DC(dance credits) and then the name of the person who created it. But I think in social media now a days as long as you are not copying someones video for verbatim you should be ok and not have to give any credit or citation.

    1. Elon Musk [@elonmusk]. Trashing accounts that you hate will cause our algorithm to show you more of those accounts, as it is keying off of your interactions. Basically saying if you love trashing *that* account, then you will probably also love trashing *this* account. Not actually wrong lol. January 2023. URL:

      This is very true the algorithm does watch all your moves in thought that you like them so if you are watching stuff and then trashing it by commenting more of that will pop up.

    1. What responsibilities do you think social media platforms should have in regards to larger social trends?

      This does not just explaining what tetrachromacy is but the deeper meaning. We all see the same things differently nit just color but outside problems, relationships, and so much more. And that is ok our perception teaches us who we are and how we learn.

    1. We could look at inventions of new accessible technologies and think the world is getting better for disabled people. But in reality, it is much more complicated. Some new technologies make improvements for some people with some disabilities, but other new technologies are continually being made in ways that are not accessible. And, in general, cultures shift in many ways all the time, making things better or worse for different disabled people.

      I wish we could make bots that quickly adjusted to changes that way disabled people would be able to be connected with the Internet and not have to wait for months until people come up with a solution.

    1. What are your biggest concerns around privacy on social media?

      My biggest concern with privacy on social media is that even without putting your address people can find out where you live. Because whenever you post from different parts of your house over time people can accumulate the lay out of your house and other things like your house number. So if posting you have to make sure you try and post from one spot to not give up personal information.

    1. Nicole Nguyen. Here's Who Facebook Thinks You Really Are. September 2016.

      This source gives us inside on how Facebook collects whatever you like and puts it into a folder so it can send out accurate adds your way without you even having to do anything except doomscroll and doom like.Something scary I also learned is that Facebook probably knows all your search history because it is big part of the web. This correlates to this chapter really well because it talked about how google does the exact same thing.

    1. How comfortable are you with Google knowing (whether correctly or not) those things about you?

      I have personalized adds of because I do not like google having an insight on everything I say or do. Some places like TikTok or instagram I swear listen to what I say then give me ads/promos on that stuff. But to me this feels like an envasion of privacy because I don't like that my phone is listening carefully to every word I say.
