Activity 6: Who to Follow
The following are Twitter accounts that I believe would be beneficial for my fellow classmates to follow:
@billgates @popsci @technology @HuffPostCollege @wired @susanmcp1 @lifehacker
#commodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Interesting read- Have you ever considered that politicians and govt overlook these social media privacy issues because of the reach they get online? What all do you know about these policies? #commodu #privatepolicy

[WIRED @WIRED]

Politicians love ripping into Facebook for privacy issues. But 81 US senators and 176 members of the House use an invisible piece of Facebook tech, called a pixel, that tracks when you visit their websites and shares this info back with Facebook. https://t.co/juNaK9k5MZ

My son is 5 and knows how to play video games, turn on Netflix & take picture with filters on Snapchat. Its required that they use computers/tablets at his school & some homework is online. It was hard to accept at first, but teaching them to be safe is most important #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

I've never heard of MeWe?! It seems that there is some competition for current platforms that this class is discovering. I'm not a fan of Facebook so this might be worth looking into #comodu

[Kelly Charapich @cbncbn994]

Interesting read that might make you switch from Facebook (and if you do, follow me on MeWe!) #comodu https://t.co/HI20gnd9OS

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

@AliciaSokolovs1 With some of the information posted from our classmates and myself, it looks like there is some competition arising for the current social media platforms. #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Have you run into an issue wit free speech online? Have you been put in "Facebook Jail" or any other social meadia "jail"? Would you consider joining this new app that is challenging twitter & FB and promising free speech? #comodu #freespeech

Algorithms are dictated by those who create them or create the technology that produces them. I think they will continue to be used for telling lies if it benefits those receiving the information. #comodu #thecircle

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

I’m not through the book entirely, but its quite interesting how it compares to Silicon Valley tech companies, especially maybe Google #comodu #thecircle

[Kyle Nicholas @kpasa]

Is #TheCircle actually about our recent past? #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Living in a world with full transparency might seem like it would be a good idea but when face with having to personally become transparent, I think many people would have an issue. Transparency in politics, gov., etc. would be compelling #comodu #thecircle

[Kyle Nicholas @kpasa]

Is there anything great about living in the world of #thecircle? #comodu

@dayna_lou96 @kpasa Living in a world with full transparency might seem like it would be a good idea but when faced with having to personally become transparent, I think many people would have an issue. Transparency in politics, gov., etc. would be compelling #comodu #thecircle

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

I have not seen a sign such as this but it’s certainly a good self promoting tool! #comodu

[Kelly Charapich @cbncbn994]

Today I noticed that there were signs promoting using a park's hashtag and there were designated "selfie spots." I mocked the marketing, then made sure to quickly post a picture after I used the spot. What do you think about social media leaking into the "real world?" #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

@JessicarColeman I worked in HR & was asked by specific companies to look into social media accounts. It really showed a personality of the person that wasn’t exposed during the interview. It helped decide what kind of person you wanted working for you bc some people post crazy things #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Hacktivism at its finest. “Operation Decrypt ISIS” underway by GSH. Pictures, personal identities and locations of ISIS members are being exposed by these hacktivist. #Comodu

[Jens Hittrien @JensHittrien]

Notorious Ghost Squad Hackers has has been able to hack several IS Telegram and Whatsapp groups, extracting personal data of admin and members. O.a they unearthed a network of IS supporters in Belgium.

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

The media(newspapers) used to be an outlet to expose corrupt politicians. When you hear of stories such as this, do you think that the media are allies to the people? Or do they have their own corrupt agenda? #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

@KCharapich Agreed. Teaching self moderation is necessary with media. Avoiding the extremes presented on media is something that we see a lack of in society with following these deadly challenges, and mindlessly sharing information true or not. #comodu

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

After reading an article about a boy who died due to social media challenges, you wonder where moderators are. I will I always vote for freedom of speech but when do we allow them to take over eliminate harmful content? #comodu https://t.co/13xPqAELzU

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Are our phones the remote controls of our lives? Is technology, as it becomes more mobile and accessible, taking over? Have you ever successfully taken time away from technology? How did it impact your life? #comodu #thinkaboutit

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Instagram live. Facebook live. Twitter live. Doesn’t it seem that they are all just copying one another? Social media platforms are redundant with no personalization or creativity involved! #comodu

[Social Media Today @socialmedia2day]

Twitter's officially launched its new live-stream audio guests option #socialmedia https://t.co/8uycOwbV6H

[Crystal @CrystalODU2019]

Realizing this weeks assignment reflects the dark side of social media, I wanted to share this article to show the importance of understanding the reality of how negative social media can be #comodu
