At the end of the day, influencers are portraying their identity and personality. They relate best to their audience and are wise enough to know what their audience wants to see. #comu1130t2
Algorithms give us the information we want to see, are familiar with and are used to seeing. It makes tailored information readily accessible and direct, saving us time. But doesn't that mean that alghorithms are limiting our scope, and limiting our perspectives? #comu1130t2
Copyright is essential to protect creative industries and the work of individuals. Without these laws which protect the integrity of individuals, we offer more power to large powers as they continue to chew and spit out new products in the name of profit!
Like all hate speech, it will continue to exist and we will continue to advance towards overcoming it. Memes, overall, are a recognition of mutual struggle and social commentary! They are an integral part of humour in the internet #comu1130t2
Today public opinion regulates self-moderation. But what of the future - under the influence of a mass bias movement or in an age when trolls are celebrated? The karma system will uphold these trolls. We need centralised moderation as a safegaurd against such a future #comu1130t2
Sure, moderation might curb the degree of freedom of speech as it removes hate speech and derogatory, unproductive comments. In that case we lose one degree, but as a society we achieve revolutionary change as we promote a supportive and progresisve culture. #comu1130t2
Moderation is necessary. It removes the white noise from important conversation so that we can have productive debates and actually get somewhere! #comu1130t2
