@Scottlehigh1 Although the group that partook in this resistance was relatively small, small movements can still be capable of large social impacts. Just because the group represented less than a single percent doesn't make it a failed form of resistance. #cse252d4days

Great closing from Pro 2. Showed that the 99 days movement was effective through disrupting personal social circles and social ties while also showing to users their reliance on Facebook #cse252d4days

@RaveenaSamtani I understand your position but disagree. I think this is a valid comment as Google returns results that are the most relevant to a search term. In 2011, abortion was most likely a very relevant search term to murder. #cse252d2algo

Pro 2 comes out hot with the question of: If manipulating an algorithm to produce a result is an error, then why are companies purposely optimizing their algorithms to produce a desired result? Should this also be considered an error? #cse252d2algo

@AaronRotem Although it was a good point I believe this argument fell short as apple products are just one example. I believe the con team is arguing that there is no ability to do that across all platforms. One platform is a good start but is not full control for the user. #cse252d1priv

The argument that currently the only two options for a user is to allow yourself to be open to targeted advertising or to not use the platform at all is very eye-opening and shows there should be some control given to the user. #cse252d1priv
