@ssdagostino @EmergingSocial1 Hi Sam, I agree as i was also on the fence. I saw both sides as well but, i feel as though people just like to get a quick laugh and the attention from a social media post. They are not thinking of how it affects others and has the potential to hurt a whole community.

hurting others or getting back lash but in most cases it just comes off as insensitive and like others are mocking the handicap community.

#co575 @EmergingSocial1 My thoughts surrounding "whats your excuse memes" goes back and forth. I don't think its right for people who don't have a disability to set a scene to make the internet believe that for a quick laugh. And I also don't think its right for someone to

[Rachel_sfsu @RachelSfsu]

capture an imagine without consent and then turning it into a meme again for a quick laugh. Its different on the other hand if someone with a disability decided to make the meme in order to take their power back. I feel like in some cases it can be acceptable without

@ssdagostino @EmergingSocial1 Great connection between deep fakes and the display of unethical media choices. I agree that this has major effects on these peoples personal lives but also professional lives. It is scary the ways in which media has the potential to destroy ones identity with fakes images.

everyone. Especially in a world today where fake news and false information spreads like wildfire. Looking forward to hearing other opinions!

@EmergingSocial1 #co575 prior to this week, I have heard about deep fakes before. I think one of my first times hearing about it was when there was one made to look like Selena Gomez. Similarly to the reading her deep fake was one in a sexualized light. It quite frustrating that

[Rachel_sfsu @RachelSfsu]

deserve to have this happen to them but what i'm saying is that its disgusting that people think its ok to mainly target woman in a world where woman already are at a disadvantage. In conclusion i think deep fakes are dangerous and can pose a serious threat to not only woman but

@Llara_sfsu @EmergingSocial1 As a white person i've never refrained from using the white skin toned emojis but i can see how its almost embarrassing to do so. After reading the article i felt so frustrated and annoyed. It's so frustrating to me how it takes this long for POC to get representation.

@victorialiang_ @EmergingSocial1 Twitter has characteristics of a public sphere but it's hard to me to conclude that it is in fact one.Being that access is a key factor to be considered a public sphere i was not convinced it fit into this definition. what are your thoughts on that? i would love to hear more!

[Rachel_sfsu @RachelSfsu]

access to this platform which blurs the lines of it being considered a part of the public sphere. I could be wrong but I look forward to seeing your guys' views on the topic!

#CO575 @EmergingSocial1 According to our textbook, Habermas characterizes four important dimensions of the public sphere. These include: public opinion, access, discussion in an unrestricted fashion, and debate (219). In more simple terms Herbermas assumes the public sphere to be

[Rachel_sfsu @RachelSfsu]

dimensions listed above i think it lacks in others. For example while most people can access twitter through internet access and an email address, not everyone has those privileges. So access in this case is not fulfilled. There are large numbers of individuals who do not have

@Llara_sfsu @EmergingSocial1 @MaryChayko I found this to be surprising as well. I assumed the use of phones limited the amount of face to face interaction between individuals but thats not the case. I think the pandemic in a lot of ways has urged people to make connections in person since we were deprived for a while.
