@2450fall18#reflection the #righttobeforgotten is particularly polarizing in the case of crime. How do we determine if someone deserves this right: how extreme does the crime have to be and what about false accusations?
@2450fall18#qs the #righttobeforgotten sounds great, but can anything that has already been on the internet every truly “be forgotten”? Once it has been published and someone may have memory of it, can it ever truly disappear?
@2450fall18#reflection it is easier for #fakenews to spread in conditions of #homophily because those similar people want to bond and may believe in the same things
@2450fall18#ex groups within Facebook promote #homophily because they bring together people with similar interests and posts from groups appear very often in your feed
@2450fall18#ex apps such as Nextdoor that help connect neighborhoods of people and serve as a “private bulletin board” for your community are #communalgoods and features like entering your address help to identify who benefits most from particular info
@2450fall18#reflection the #mobilerevolution enables me to maintain relationships I could have made before the revolution (based on proximity) when the proximity is no longer there

@2450fall18#ex Snapchat makes it so you don’t have to engage in #selfcensorship through the private story feature where you can decide who sees your post
@2450fall18#reflection working remotely is especially challenging because it is harder to hold people accountable for their work when you are not near them and you don’t have the benefit of #socialfacilitation or previous #cohesiveness
@2450fall18#qs for physical attractiveness, for example, does the dominance of the #assimilationeffect or #contrasteffect depend on how close in attractiveness the individual is with the group? #ex much less attractive -> contrast and similar attractiveness -> assimilation
