Shopping tab is super unnecessary in my opinion, I don’t think it’s accidental that it is placed where one used to go to check notifications either... #arin2610

[Martha Mckenzie @MarthaMck25]

What do you guys think of the new Instagram design?
I’m not a fan of the shopping tab at all... annoying I just want to see my notifications #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

Good to see that the Australian people see data privacy as an issue, seems like the COVID-safe app sparked people to think more about the issue! #arin2610

This is something I am STRUGGLING with, I've deleted apps and set limits but I always go back to my phone... seems a bit scary, I think Digital media addiction is going to be a big issue coming out of the pandemic. #arin2610

[ellora @ellora57347308]

What is your experience with digital detoxing? Do you find yourself going back to your phone?Interesting question to think about with regard to @netflix’s #TheSocialDilemma. Is it possible to have a true digital detox when we are surrounded by invisible infrastructure? #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

Interesting perspective from this article.

[leahChegwyn @LeahChegwyn]

An interesting thought especially since the last assignment asks how certain bodies or platforms may be regulated locally and globally. #arin2610

I was the same, I deleted it and have gone cold turkey but regularly find myself going to open the app that is in its position on my home screen out of habit! #arin2610

[emilyheimann @emilyheimann1]

As a regular user of TikTok myself, I really agree with this article. I often spend hours scrolling without even realising. #arin2610

The potential of Smart cities are balanced with risk, I immediately was concerned with data privacy and cyber security upon looking into these innovations. Good quick read highlighting that regulation needs to be developed alongside it!

Our discussions this week reminded me of a video related to smart cities by Youtube filmmaker @ohboyson I watched way back in 2016. The concept intrigued me and I really enjoyed learning more about it this week. Beautifully shot too! #arin2610

@chantelleralev1 I deleted it too! But I was less concerned about the data breaches and more concerned with it eating away at my time. Procrastination thrived from it! #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

@AmandaYanTX I never really aimed for it, I'm sure students with digital cultures as their major need more marks than I do. But I've still been enjoying making comments on things people put on the hashtag!n #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

"Australia is late to react" according to this article on the Internet of Things. Seems like a common theme when it comes to AUS and technological innovations and regulation. #arin2610

@jackshawusyd @MarthaMck25 Well put, I totally agree. #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

After the lecture given by @mpesce in #arin2610 I am excited to read this book. A topic that is onoly going to grow in important in the years to come!

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

I tend to agree, however the flagging of Trumps tweet as misinformation felt necessary and like a big step!

[Greta Salgo @GreatSalgo]

Is Twitter doing enough to stop the spread of misinformation during the US election? I think not. #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

Who knows at this point...

#arin2610 Can we even trust Google?https://t.co/5lSCnEVNlE

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

Do you believe everything you see online? I definitely have needed to be more critical of the information I consume on social media. Great article that shows recent, popular examples of mis/disinformation sharing online! #arin2610

If anyone could claim more of the search engine monopoly over Google, it is probably Apple! Personally I think this could eventuate into even more concerns relating to predictive algorithms as Apple could collect more data than Google #arin2610

Social media seems like it uncovers more truths than the education system, and has answers to questions that are not answered in the classroom! #arin2610

[leahChegwyn @LeahChegwyn]

Is social media now becoming more effective in challenging Australian History and its pattern of excluding the truth, than our classrooms? Have our classrooms now become the latest channel for censorship? #arin2610

Digital acitivism at work, Really shocking scenes from Victoria whilst the general public is distracted by @DanielAndrewsMP giving a COVID update. #arin2610

Heavy police presence this morning on Djab Wurrung country, next to the Grandmother and Grandfather trees. Activists face eviction and arrests #DjabWurrung #DjabWurrungTrees

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

Just stumbled across this on The Conversation! Really interesting @media_republik - I think it would be incredibly difficult for @ABCaustralia to pull off but it'd be really beneficial. Could reset how people consume news on social media. #arin2610

Techxit report argues the ABC should build a social network if Facebook stops Australians new sharing https://t.co/PxwnEEFutL #arin2610

[Alexia Cheaib @AlexiaCheaib]

I agree - having said that though I feel like if people were actually aware of the extent their data was being used they would scale back.
