@encs393_class I think Google should be transparent about when they’re muting notifications, which notifications are being muted, and what makes them mute a notification vs not… if they don’t do that, then yet again, a big company is making decisions for users without consulting them!#ENCS393

@ShanJ_encs393 #ENCS393 This would definitely violate user privacy! Based on what we took in class, more often than not, the systems that are being developed and put in place are unfortunately biased… it’s hard to determine how to balance user privacy while protecting those who are vulnerable

#ENCS393 Apple allowing users to stop applications from tracking them had cost FB $10 billion. “Apple gave its customers that choice, and for that we should be truly grateful,” should other companies consider introducing a similar feature?

#ENCS393 “If EARN IT becomes law, what happens on your iPhone won’t stay on your iPhone. It will be scanned by a government-approved tool like everything posted on Facebook.” The EARN IT act violates user’s privacy and security. Is this stoppable? https://t.co/Yf01PlWUxd

#ENCS393 It’s not the first time we read about governments surveilling social media users, EFF claims that the US government is particularly targeting and monitoring (aspiring) immigrants in the country… Can anything be done about it? https://t.co/eAGeeYw1fW

#ENCS393 In this article, the authors emphasize the importance of raising awareness on cyberbullying and of implementing laws that protect those who are vulnerable to it. Italy has already implemented laws to protect kids, do you think Canada should too? https://t.co/RNBCl9RHks

@DanielR_Conco I don't think it's ageism. These students are being raised in a world where technology is inevitable, continuously growing, and extremely influential. It is essential that the teachers they are interacting with have the required tech skills to offer a well-rounded experience.

#ENCS393 Interesting piece on how bias in AI can harm humans. The NIST authors emphasize the importance of addressing this issue to develop trustworthy AI Systems. For the mitigation of this bias, they recommend a “socio-technical” approach. https://t.co/gOWg33SAfc

#ENCS393 Really interesting article about using Crypto for a Cause and how Crypto can be used to help keep abortions safe and accessible to women affected by the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US. https://t.co/VvfCMgw7Ko
