I heavily relate to being stuck in a filter bubble because I sometimes like content that I am really not that interested in. I feel like these bubble can trap you in a loop of the same content which can become boring.

I find it interesting that the social media platforms use our behavior on their platforms to recommend more content to us. I think this shows how intuitive social media algorithms can be.

I think social media has made good implementations to cater for the disabled. Some of them being AI generated captions for video and AI generated voice overs.

I think it is important to always consider accessibility when designing social media websites. I heavily support companies trying to implement universal design.

I think that all major social media companies should make there privacy laws clear when signing up for them. Unclear privacy rules can result in a misunderstanding between the user and the corporation and it can lead to the users privacy being violated.

I am happy that some governments make it a priority to protect individuals privacy rights. The European unions general data protection regulation is a great piece of legislation and is a step in the right direction.

I feel like the information that is given to these social media sights is very private. They should make sure to ask for the proper permission when sharing sensitive data like search history or medical history.

I find it interesting that the goal of mining data is to collect information about users to make them stay longer on social media. Some may consider this collection of information an invasion of privacy.

I have actually witnessed a lot of trolling online and I realised the trollers want a reaction out of you. Even if its positive or negative they just want a reaction. A good way to stop trollers is to agree with them show a general stance and not show any emotional reaction to there comments

I find it interesting that there is a distinct difference between Trolling and actual hate speech. Because trolling is intended to invoke a reaction out of users while hate speech is actual hate. I think ethically we need to draw the line on how far we can go while trolling so that people don't get the wrong reaction with sesitive topics.

I also think that it is important for users to have the option of anonymity because it allows users to express themselves freely. However, there is catch because anonymity could also encourage criminal behavior because there is no way of tracing things back to a real person. Anonymity should be carefully controlled by allowing partial anonymity.

I find it interesting that person faked being a ASU professor and went so far into the lie that people believed it. This conveys the importance of authentication real human beings when creating social media accounts. If this had been something even more serious like a bomb threat being posted on social media, a simple tweet could lead to wars.

An interesting point that was made was the fact that the developers have to put constraints on the data and the fields that can be used. They do this to fit their specific target audience, but it is also interesting that people who do not fit these data constraints must find ways to make themselves fit in in order to use social media apps. Developers should prioritize inclusiveness more.

I found that the protesting donkey is a perfect analogy for the situation with bots. It's hard to punish the protesting donkeys, who are, in this case, the people using the bots that were programmed by programmers for using bots that they don't understand the purpose of.

I found it really interesting how updates and information was shared before the rise of the internet. Particularly the grafiti updates. I think that it was a creative way to share information to a large amount of people.

I found it interesting that as the popularity of social media grew the urge to create a version of social media that had no restrictions grew as-well. I think this led tot he creation of 4Chan and Something Awful. This goes to show how Social Media can turn morally unethical really quickly.

I found it interesting how the different datatypes are represented in Python. This is because I have been learning Java in case 121, and it gets tedious to specify the datatype on every variable you create. I also found it interesting to reflect on how social media posts affect the people who haven’t consented to being in them. An example that was given was about taking a selfie with a minor and posting it on social media without their consent. This is important to think about because a lot of people have been affected negatively by being put in social media posts that they didn’t consent to be in, so I believe it is important to ask for consent before filming someone and then posting it.

I found it interesting that a bot can be created with the intention of aiding people ,like with the auto caption and vaccine progress feature, but can then quickly be corrupted because of unforeseen circumstances. This is a good reason to consider ethics while creating bots.

One ethical framework that I found particularly interesting was Egoism. I think Egoism is natural, but I can be taken too far as well. I also realised a great deal of human feats have and can be accomplished by the endless pursuit of self-interest. This leads me to ask, are all hyper-successful people in the world highly egotistical?

The word Nihilism was actually derived from the word "nihil", which means nothing. Additionally, Russian Nihilism was revolutionary in the 19th century due to its dismissal of ongoing societal layouts and advocacy for change. Russian Nihilism is usually linked to anarchism, atheism, and even terrorism. This was a result of the opposition of Tsarist Russia.
