While copyright was first established as a means of honouring the original producer, I think it reached severe extremes in the digital age as people can't even post a YouTube video without having it taken down for simply having music on in the background #dc2001 @carolyn_guertin

@BGamunu @wwbookclub Wasn't sure how to introduce myself either - I'll follow your lead! I was housed in Slytherin but I promise I'm not a villain!

@SeanGoes2School @carolyn_guertin Changes within social media platforms & the rise and fall of new platforms shift the online methods of protest mobilization and communication. These evolving socio-technical relations needs further study to understand how these changes have guided changes in new protests #dc3209

@SeanGoes2School @carolyn_guertin Research surrounding social media activism concerns both sociopolitical and cultural settings that influence the effectiveness, popularity, or controversy surrounding a movement. Trump’s presidency, for example, continues to inform activist movements across social media. #dc3209

@SeanGoes2School @carolyn_guertin By creating a broader focus on both socio-cultural and techno-commercial practices of online activism, we can gain even more valuable insight moving forward into how both of these impacts the spread and viral-ability of movements and protests #dc3209g

Many MIT and DC courses are inherently social (for example, this class uses TweetJams as an interactive class activity) whereas more traditional English courses tend to stick to individualized, and not-so-technological teaching techniques #dc2001 @carolyn_guertin

Education has been transformed by technology and social media in particular because now it is so much easier to record, store and exchange information -- if you miss class, a simply FB message can help you track down a fellow student for any missed notes #dc2001 @carolyn_guertin

[Jess @jthom282]

In the like economy, we're attracted to ceaseless circulation content that is curated according to individualized algorithms. But, what this 'social interactivity' does is mystify out of consciousness the biased ideologies that are at work in our activity @carolyn_guertin #dc3209

3. Do privacy settings actually benefit us in any way? How does a setting for "friends only" keep us from having our data mined for ads, links, etc.?

[Jess @jthom282]

@socialmedia201b @carolyn_guertin Interesting question Paige, I think this would be interesting to evaluate from the perspectives of different age groups since I find younger people don't care as much since we're so active on social media whereas older generations tend to be more skeptical.

2. This article identifies how surveillance and data are synonymous nowadays where even a not-so-digital activity like shopping is mined for data and used for corporate profits. https://t.co/s41UjQwHwC @carolyn_guertin #dc2001

1. Perpetual internet surveillance has made it virtually impossible for humans to be untracked by any digital medium. Essentially, our information is no longer ours but rather belongs to corporate leaders that turn it into profitable data for ads, etc. #dc2001 @carolyn_guertin
