Recently, we wonder if we are in control of our privacy by what we share, post, and view online. However, our privacy is being compromised when we are not even using social media. How can we be in control of what people post about us?

Facial recognition came on the scene as something cool/convenient. This articulates that many ppl do not know the dangers. Read to see how this can interfere with our safety & integrity (online and not) #smpasocial

Even after thinkin about it for over a week, surprised & thankful a majority of people think what they see on feeds isn't rep. of society. I thought it would be pretty split. Online consumers know what to trust vs. not in terms of validity #smpasocial

@beccamelville I love this! I, admittedly, need to see this often & I feel this way not only about social media but news/pop culture/music/books. Our conversation heightened my fear that the internet concept of filter bubbles is actually very present in other parts of consumption #smpasocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

Informative article by @ActuallySimon//@DigitalTrends as I saw a new playlist pop up on my Spotify homepage today. Will I interact with news and music I usually don't? Does this contribute to the notion of social media's filter bubble? Both?

@Hewlett_Found A March 2018 release, the study of overconsumption of political misinformation & media echo chambers is a study that remains just as relevant & just as interesting. Practical advice/tips for those who are nervous they are often faced w/ political misinformation.

Suggested read:

"Social Media, Political Polarization,
and Political Disinformation: A
Review of the Scientific Literature" via @Hewlett_Found is a report I regularly become reintroduced to in my graduate studies.

...& we can do so by engaging with more and different content, people, & resources. The methods to avoid "filter bubbles" may be hard to avoid once we get into a comfortable pattern, but simply trying to remember what they are can help us have a less "distorted world" #smpasocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

I can always do better to expand my perspective on various subjects, and this interesting article reinforces that. This may sound obvious, but it's important to learn more, expand horizons, and step out of our comfort zones... #smpasocial

@KaylaMEscobar @JoaquinSalasOro @Forbes Appreciate that this article recognizes the soundbite and the detail-free stigma that surrounds political debate, but social media also facilitates the opp. for politicians to make their thoughts clear & direct, and for audiences to easily comprehend said messages #smpasocial

Having teachers in the family and in my friend group and hearing thoughtful, recurring stories, teachers do deserve a pay raise. “Let’s recognize their [teachers] value” - @KamalaHarris #smpasocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

Great to learn from Kamala in a short period of time and truly understand what her education policies are. Helpful that this was done in a quick and light way. #smpasocial. Thank you for the early morning laughs, @FullFrontalSamB

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

The conversation between @KamalaHarris and @FullFrontalSamB ends with being Senate Hearing’d. #smpasocial

“I eat no for breakfast” - Kamala Harris #smpasocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

There is a brief mention of The Green New Deal, tax reform, and even rebooting the Avengers franchise ...? #smpasocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

Harris recognizes that red states are already going for the minor raise of the estate tax to increase the pay for educators. #smpasocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

Harris and Bee initially discuss when and where Harris will do her announcement candidacy.... seems Harris has already done that, but will happily do it again. #SMPASocial

[Connor @connor_ps_dc]

Watch Kamala Harris Pitch Teacher Pay Raises on “Full Frontal.” Fan of both @KamalaHarris and @FullFrontalSamB so excited to dive into the content of this clip #SMPASocial
