@NeKomiao_ I agree! Social media is like a double-edged sword. It draws users closer while alienating the people around them. It also causes psychological(cyberbullying...）and physical harm(myopia...)when it allows individuals to enjoy the convenience and happiness brought by the Internet.

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@ZixinWang2411 Good point! Lack of transparency is indeed a crucial issue for consumers. Regulators will also affected by this. Because few information is accessible, they may not know how to take measures, and are criticized for deregulation as a result.

Although the innovations of Uber and Lyft have caused medallion owners and taxi companies hardship, limiting ride-sharing seems to be a bad solution because of the benefit it has created for consumers and drivers.#arin2610 #regulation #Uber @GovernmentSM https://t.co/imayzLdpOi

Google has power to ignore the fairness, legitimacy and harmful content, however, it argues that its businesses are useful and beneficial to consumers. What do you think about that?#arin2610 @AllenELevin @socialmediarcuk @MediaAtSydney

The clash between labor and Uber is a significant issue, which may lead to the decline of workers’ economic security.#arin2610 #uberdriver #Uber

@Elaine74946229 This may put those who care about their weight (like women) in an awkward position! Maybe other ways can be used to solve this problem, such as let every car set a weight limit?🤔🤔

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@Elaine74946229 both a good and a bad thing I think. Algorithms can help us filter information and save time. But there is no denying that companies may pay platforms for visibility, as a result, information we really need may be buried. #arin2610

"Governments considering using QR code technology should allow consumers to see exactly what data is being collected about them.”#arin2610

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@Christi46206116 I agree! It indeed helps to create an interesting world!

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

Glad to see the new law attaches great importance to privacy protection. Indeed, allowing powerful social platforms to misuse user data is a threat to both users and governments.But the law doesn't go far enough, more laws should be passed to protect consumer privacy.#arin2610

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@YINGYIN06187099 I agree! What I mean is every coin has two sides. Despite the appearance of cyberbullying, it still has positive effects (such as helping to keep in touch).😁

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@superchris0709 To prevent students from being influenced by the negative imformation on the platfrom, freedom of expression seems to be less important!

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

It is unreasonable to blame the governments though free speech is most often violated by them. Since many users can't tell “freedom” and “unbridled”, they casually post hate speech on the platform. This may be harm to marginalized people and moderators.#arin2610

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

That's the power of social media! After seeing this, do you still doubt the effectiveness of online activism?#arin2610

[MsRFlorida @MsRFlorida]

If you ever wonder if online activism is making a difference, check out this report from the @pbpost on canceled Mar-a-Lago events.

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

This is an example of online activism. Digital technologies indeed allows our voice to be heard, this can have a huge impact!#arin2610

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

That’s true! But internet activism can also become dangerous. What do you think about that?#arin2610

[child of the moon. 🌑 @AscendedKee]

I’ve seen “internet activism” lead to people being able to pay their bills, bail out protestors, spread awareness & literally save lives so for anyone to shame internet activism in 2020 is truly stupid. There are so many things I would not know about without internet activism.

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

Identity discrimination is a question worth noting. Other platforms should follow Instagram's lead and create a positive online environment for users!#arin2610

[Lucy Cousins @LucyMCousins2]

This censorship/moderation bias is crazy!! Glad Instagram is finally making changes to their policy. I know we have talked about nudity and context this semester, what are your thoughts on this? #arin2610

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@junjieQIU1 Bad thing I think. Google are more likely to do whatever it wants, and it's difficult to be monitored/controlled by other organisations. But it has to be admitted that benefits such as convenience brought by search engine is indispensable in the modern society.#arin2610

[Yuki Shen @YuqiShen3]

@Christi46206116 That's a crucial question for VR/AR designers!😌 To avoid tragedy, they should be responsible for users' safety, allowing users enjoy the convenience brought by VR technology while preventing them from indulging in it!#arin2610
