@LowkeyCy @EmergingSocial1 I agree with you that a lot of times memes can be very harmful to individuals because there are too many ways people can interpret a meme without knowing the background of the story. @EmergingSocial1 #Co575

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 we jump to conclusions about that person. Our society is built for the majority of people who have complete "able-bodiedness". I think what we are missing is educating the younger generation about people with different abilities and bringing awareness. 3)

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 This week we learn about memenism, disability, as well as disability perspectives on social media. The readings reminded me of something very important is what we see as a disability. When we see someone in a wheelchair, what should we expect? 1)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 Often, we think people who use a wheelchair are because they can't move their bodies. Then when we see something that is conflicting with what we have in our mind such as the meme "a woman standing in her wheelchair reaching for alcohol", 2)

@ssdagostino @EmergingSocial1 Hi Samantha, yes I agree with you that "undress" someone to target and harm them is extreme. Unfortunately, it happens more than we could imagine, such as how they attacked a journalist from India because she reported the corruption of the government. #CO575 @EmergingSocial1

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 that is being photoshopped to a nude body that is not yours. How would you convince others that weren't you in that case? It isn't much you can do when others try to harm you in that way. It is absolutely harmful. That is the downside of AI/social media.4)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 This week we talk about how people use AI apps to create deepfakes to harm the most vulnerable. When we enjoy the convenience of the internet and social media, we have to keep in mind that not everything we see is true, 1)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 Before I used to believe things (news) when I read them, however, now I often find myself looking for anything in the article that could be biased or fake. That being said, it is still not easy when you found yourself appearing nude in a porn video 3)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 Because of the fact that everyone can post anything under any circumstances without any restrictions (at least what I see in the U.S.), I have developed a habit of being more critical when I read or see something online. 2)

@gabriellab__575 @EmergingSocial1 Yes! Social media is definitely powerful in bribing people together and creating social movements. I do appreciate that we have the privilege to technology and to be able to “watch from below”. #CO575

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 I see the power of social media when anonymous hacked the Russian streaming services to broadcast the war that is happening in Ukraine. And that created a social movement in Russian to stand up against Putin’s actions. 5)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 This week’s content was very interesting and took me deeper to the world of how social media impacts humans lives in regards to race, social movements and technology. #CO575 1)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 In the past week and this week we have been discussing #surveillance which is the citizens watch the people above such as the government. Though I mentioned in the past week that in countries like China and Russia, 4)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 and yet so many people still argue about #AllLivesMatter to ignore the real issue instead of finding solutions to help create a world that everyone can have the same rights and freedom. 3)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 Thanks to social media’s contribution in raising awareness for racial inequality. The organization #BLM really helped many people understand and see how black people in this country are treated so unfairly, 2)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@Francy_Hrdz00 @EmergingSocial1 I agree that social media can be very powerful when people have freedom to access content and express themselves. Countries like China and Russia nowadays, the government controls everything that is happening online, I doubt any sort of protests can be organized on social media.

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 If social media is not controlled by the government, then I think it is possible to make a change when we support each other and come together for the idea that we believe in. It will be hard, but possible. 4)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 This week we learn about contemporary social movements which mainly happened on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and some other social platforms. The question that made me think is how effective is social media in supporting a change. 1)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 For people who live other parts of the world such as China, now Russia too, social media is very much controlled by the government. It is basically impossible to make any changes using social media to protest. 3)

[Jieqiong (Jennifer) Lei @Jleidreams]

@EmergingSocial1 #CO575 I can see form Deleuze and Guattari’s idea of rhizomes which social media is a space to express thoughts and ideas and everyone is free and has the right to express. However, in my experience, this is only true when we live in the U.S. 2)
