    1. Steven Spielberg. Catch Me If You Can. December 2002. URL: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264464/.

      This link sends you to an imdb page of the movie "Catch Me If You Can." This is one of my favorite movies that stars Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio that tells a true story of a person named Frank William Abagnale who stole the identity of multiple careers and made top of the line counterfeited checks. He posed as a pilot, then a doctor, then a lawyer, even got married, and eventually was caught. Then instead of jailtime, the FBI gave him a job to defraud counterfeit checks. This is a link to this chapter because it talks about privacy and security, whereas there are people who find ways around these rules/laws to gain something in return. It shows that while advancements in technology rapidly increase, it leads to more consequences and opportunities for others to act negatively.

    1. What are your biggest concerns around privacy on social media? What incentives do social media companies have to protect privacy? What incentives to social media companies have to violate privacy? What incentives do social media companies have to be careless with privacy?

      In terms of privacy on social media, the biggest concerns if the amount of information certain social media platforms require one to put in about their identity. It allows for countless others to know who you as as well as other factors about your life. Social media companies have some incentives on protecting privacy by giving the users many ways to hide their profile and to limit the information given out in the public. In terms of them violating privacy, they allow dates, locations, and more to show about a persons posts. Social media companies are also careless with privacy because they require a lot for one to make an account as well as recommending people who they should not be recommending.

      This link allows readers to understand certain policies about the general use of ai. It mentions how certain social media platforms or general apps (ex: stack overflow) are banning the overall use of ai because they believe one's original work is a reflection of themselves, and that you have to earn your freedom to have an opinion. It then begins to list certain types of ai tools that are seen as forbidden; it also mentions that ai has a limit, and there are ways for their programmers to know if what is shown is ai or not.

    1. Are you surprised by any of the things that can be done with data mining? Do you think there is information that could be discovered through data mining that social media companies shouldn’t seek out (e.g., social media companies could use it for bad purposes, or they might get hacked and others could find it)?

      I am not really surprised by most of the things that can be done with data mining because we live in an advanced society to a point where there's ai and programs that allow companies thrive. One thing I am surprised about data mining is how people can use it to track trends in terms of stocks or the general economy because at what point are they cheating the system? I think information that shouldn't be available for companies to seek in terms of social media are looking for popular individuals to use for campaigns or for leveraging marketing.
