Paul et al. says that because sex ads emphasize the salience of race or ethnicidty in sexual hook-ups, respondants feel pressured to treat these labels as key attributes of the self --> but I'm inclined to say that it's a personal choice if you pay attention to these #COMM316

I understand that it is nice that a spambot does not discriminate and it is a nice change, but why does this make people feel better when they know it is a computerized scam? #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

@junpei_taguchi Thought-provoking, but I'm just not sure to what extent we can really compare the two like this

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

I agree with the author that iconophilia should be the aim of LGBT rights activists because I do not believe censorship is the right way to go about mediating what is published or aired #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

Though it says that "censorious discourse" is not to be seen as the same thing as "censorship", I find the two very similar as either way you are putting restrictions on what can and cannot be produced and shared #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

I don't think sentences should necessarily change or be adjusted based on a computation that says someone is more high risk in the future than someone else -- the law is supposed to consider only what happened in the present as I see it #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

@COMM316F @jd0n0v4n yup, there should be more logical and actually trustworthy proof and validity... of which is currently not there

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

If they are going to use these risk tool assessments in court, which I don't think they should, the calculations that transformed the data and arrived at this score should at least be accessible to everyone #COMM316

@descorci1 I too was confused by this statement -- even in terms of content, I still feel like no matter who you are you can say what you want on Twitter, you just don't know how people will respond #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

Can't say I am too surprised that white people were less likely to reveal their prejudices in person to the author... if people aren't afraid to say certain things online, they should be able to own-up to it in person too #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

Since I've never used Twitter except for this class, I found the discussion on there being basically 'two' twitter communities quite interesting #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

Interesting that individuals from smaller villages and cities showed more online aggression than those from more populated areas #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

I wonder what Bonilla-Silva proposes we do moving forward as a society and if he has any ideas for how to work on color-blind racism #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

@Elich_Comm316 Honestly kinda crazy that's what it has come to and that people actively seek 'Instafame'

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

It is predicted that by the end of 2017, 70.7% of US companies will use Instagram for marketing purposes, edging out Twitter for the first time (https://t.co/z0ipQQvJhl …) #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

Enjoyed the statement "selfies are like advertisements for the self" -- makes me think about all the types of selfies we've talked about and how those portray different 'advertisements', so to speak, of the self #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

...because there are plenty of websites and online publications that require a fee to get access to and use avidly. #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

Intriguing that education is "the most robust class-based measure of production", however I can't say I am that surprised income is one of the most important for consumption... #COMM316

[Halie Serbent @haserb32]

In spirit of the article discussing gender humour #COMM316
