Sheryl Sandberg is speaking at Vanity Fair right now. She was just asked if FB is a publisher. She said it's "complicated" and what people mean when they ask that is if FB takes responsibility for content on its platform. Yes we take that responsibility, Sheryl says #VFSummit
Marc Benioff says that Facebook is a publisher which needs to be held accountable for the propaganda it allows on its platform. He also claims that they're "after your kids." Is he right (or mostly right)? Or are his accusations out of line? #BCSTT#D
@CondodinaCara These are all exceptionally relevant, but I think # 2 might be the one that is most often overlooked. As a college student with so many time-consuming options to choose between, I think viewing time as an asset is crucial when making decisions #BCSTT
Check out my final blog post for #BCSTT! It was difficult to cover such an impactful experience in a post of this length, but here's what I came up with: The TechTrek Difference https://t.co/xK4dfaTpel
@SDidizian@emily_audycki I loved our visit to @Cerosdotcom, mostly because of Simon’s authenticity and passion. The effects of the work culture they strive to maintain is evident throughout the office, especially in their awesome little pub! Thank you Ceros and Simon for hosting us! #BCSTT
A friend told me today about an app called Forest where users plant virtual trees that grow or die based on their phone usage. It’s meant to encourage less screen time, but it also has an environmental impact as users can use virtual coins they earn to plant real trees! #BCSTT
@emily_audycki I use dark mode for Twitter, but I don’t know if I’d make the switch on Instagram. I think it makes a lot of sense for them to introduce this option, as it doesn’t affect users who don’t watch a change but could improve the experience of those who prefer this new design #BCSTT
If you are actively monetizing a human addiction you really have to think hard about whether you are making the world a better or worse place. Humans regularly become addicted to products that are very harmful.
Users have had different responses to their unexpected appearances in TikTok ads. Some are thrilled by the exposure and others are disconcerted by the lack of notice beforehand. It is allowed under the user agreement, but maybe TikTok could handle this in a better way #BCSTT
This should increase the efficiency and transparency of real estate transactions within Abu Dhabi. Will other major cities follow in their footsteps? #BCSTT
@CNHill_killer It’s interesting that activists are framing this as a civil rights issue. This could be the best way to push for legislation that limits the use of facial recognition in areas that could have a discriminatory impact #BCSTT
Could 3D printing change the food industry? I think many consumers might find this idea unnerving at first, but it has potential to catch on if it creates a reliable product and/or lowers prices #BCSTT
I really enjoyed our discussion in class today. I think it's vital that we, as consumers, understand the effects that technology can have on us. It's equally important that tech companies consider possible negative effects and try to preemptively address them #BCSTT
Today I attended an @BCSheaCenter event where I heard from and spoke with Jason Krantz, CEO of Definitive Healthcare. Analytics in healthcare can help providers at all levels improve their offering and their business model. I’m excited to see how this field will grow! #BCSTT
