I used to gave up reading privacy policy as it's so lengthy and i knew even i dont agree with their terms, there is few i can do. After #arin2610, I hold my patience to read &try to protect my right! I won't agree with exploitative terms, if they reject me for using it, let it be

[Katie @katie71263715]

Even if we know our privacy has been compromised we will not stop sharing and using the media platform. Because it's such a part of our lives, we agree to use an app without even looking at its privacy policy because we're so used to it #arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

@ZixinWang2411 Hahaha agree! Zoom is really a challenge, I haven't known all of my classmates faces and this semester is already over

[Floria @FloriaRen]

@Yaxuan_66 @QiluuuL @dingchuhan Sometimes i feel uncomfortable for handing my info to them as they restrict my access to use their service, if i don't hand it over😩

[Floria @FloriaRen]

Youtube uses super chats to gain profits on Trump's election conspiracy and they also don't intend to tamp down conspiracy theories. Considering social media is an important source for news, they actually influence atmosphere in campaigns #arin2610

[VICE @VICE]

Conspiracy theorists from around the world are making direct payments to YouTube to promote their unhinged and unfounded theories.

@Annie70178941 Yup! some soundtracks/beats are widely used without knowing producers

https://t.co/J2O8UMqYHW I love Legend of Zelda! I always wanna try VR and I thought it can be more immersive, but now it seems a bit uncomfortable😂 Bulky headsets and image quality are obstacles to high-end VR experiences. #arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

That's sad gov work in this way😢

Weibo has become a place for people who need justice, some sensitive issues (like bullying, discrimination) won't be taken seriously until they are widely discussed. Public attention puts pressure on authorities so that they will be motivated to deal with issues. #arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

I feel the same, domestic violence happens very often and people seek for help online, some were solved but some remained. Since we discuss a lot on Weibo, it's time for government to establish comprehensive laws for such abuse, no matter the victim is female/male #arin2610

[Tina Zhang @tzha0516]

#arin2610 Definitely should make more righteous support to protects such a vulnerable group, especially for those countries that don't have specific legislation for family violence, for example, China.Ironically, the violence issue being taken seriously online but still happening

[Floria @FloriaRen]

Seems like Twitter has become a political tool in the U.S election, it's hard to keep neutral especially when founders and programmers of social media have their own political stands. #arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

https://t.co/100K5PB65C Twitter thinks the public have rights to know what their leaders are saying and these tweets are newsworthy in themselves, regardless of authenticity. #arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

Even if we know Trump and his advocators are telling lies and Twitter stops them posting more disturbing links, are this move still considered as violation of net neutrality? #arin2610

[South Dakota GOP @SDGOP]

Twitter now deems our website as “harmful” and is restricting us from posting links to our articles. This is censorship, pure and simple.

I once paid for an expensive annual gym membership and I thought I will feel guilty for money I spent if i don't work out, this motivation strategy turned out to be a failure.😂 It's not practical to count on that. The gym had my money and i only had guilt. #arin2610

[Luyue Xiao @Luyue53302415]

Weibo users can recharge as VIP, the annual charge will have a bigger discount, and it will be charge automatically every month, which has become an option for most users, the cancellation process is unusually complicated and misleading to some extent? #arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

@Luyue53302415 so true, for many times i forgot to cancel my membership and they charged me again😤

[Floria @FloriaRen]

Personally, Tiktok is a place where I can keep up-to-date with trends, but like u said, online violence could be built up easily as negative videos spread fast and could be imitated easily as well. #arin2610

[Zoeeeee_du @ith_as]

Tiktop has become a representative of fast-moving online, and more virtual communities have been established inside. However, Irfan's research in 2020 shows that it may become a negative place for online violence. What do you think of TikTok pros and cons？#arin2610 #Tiktok

[Floria @FloriaRen]

#arin2610 #LeagueOfLegends To prevent minors for video game addiction, LOL published an anti-addiction mechanism, restricting underage gaming time and maximum top-up amount. But a controversial topic was brought up, whether we should use real-name registration in this mechanism.

[Floria @FloriaRen]

I just listened to a song named Everything Now, made by Arcade Fire, specifying internet make us think we need everything, we have to buy it all so we can be happy. Commodity promoting is overwhelming, we have a room full of things, but we can't fill the void in heart.#arin2610

[Floria @FloriaRen]

Views in this website are worth a read!https://t.co/f7Uo9HkJBe It occurred to me that once I was interested in doing genetic test to find out where my ancestors came from, but I quit as it concerned me that they might use my result on other experiments in the future. #arin2610

Although I do benefit a lot from facial recognition(it saves my time on entering passwords), no law governing how law enforcement use facial recognition is problematic. I don't really want to live in a total surveillance society. @M13004180 #arin2610

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

"Portland is just the latest city to swear off [facial recognition technology], following previous bans by Boston, San Francisco, & Portland, Oregon," says @russellbrandom. Let's hope this moves to the federal level !

@junjieQIU1 I supposed this has something to do with Uber's leading role in Australia car-hailing apps, we consumers have limited choices which means there is high demand in one supplier. #arin2610
