for the rest of their lives, so the gravity of their application is greater but the data needed to apply the label is easier to access. It also further disproves the equalization hypothesis, as people's labels are a Google search away rather than separated from them (2/2) #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

Applying labeling theory to big data policing and the internet in general was an important addition, esp bc labels likely hold stronger in digital form. Not only can police access new content to label you w, like CBE as gang members, but the labels often follow ppl (1/2) #SO339

@ancb2021 My only concern would be making sure the people who are the most heavily surveilled are there and have a voice. If they come and aren't discredited due to power differentials/social status, it could allow them to "contest the outcomes" in a way they aren't normally able to #SO339

The part on digital avoidance in Ch. 6 reminded me of websites like https://t.co/IoKrm1xfQM where literally anyone can look up court info from Indiana. If you had any type of case posted here, even if it was settled or won, it could ruin your chances for future success #SO339

@so339student Yes, I liked the comparison to truck drivers who are sent across the country and tracked on their progress, but feel their "occupational identity is threatened" bc they want to be independent- plus the job of police involves people's lives and lifelong consequences #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

@vmw339 Yes, it just seems like another way police are shielding each other from accountability rather than holding each other accountable for their inappropriate conduct, and recordings could even be beneficial to them if they are doing the right thing #SO339

This John Oliver clip discusses what we've talked about in class- how easily our online data is accessed by anyone, including police/the government, but privacy laws aren’t enacted (until it affects people in power). Do you think this trending (1/2) #SO339

segment/basically blackmail by John Oliver could spark change and protect the average American, especially those targeted by police surveillance? (2/2) #SO339

"presentable" and “readable” so those not aware/personally affected can become better educated and share it with others online. (3/3) #SO339

The idea of these “statactivists” really interested me, so I decided to look up the police shooting databases and link them here:

I enjoyed Mapping Police Violence the most bc it’s holistic, easy to understand, and you can change things like the year, location, and victim easily.
I also appreciate the work these people are putting into this so it becomes “immutable", and esp bc it is (2/3) #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

@so339student Yes, the line about interpreting "the conditions in inner cities as wars" really tied everything together- the moral panics we've talked about before on violent crimes and drugs in the US are then acted on seriously and very extremely at the expense of marginalized groups #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

Instead, he feels "unnecessary" hate and takes it personally rather than reflecting on the bigger systemic issues at hand and how he may play into them. (2/2) #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

O'Neill's most salient aspect of police brutality being anti-cop sentiments is an extreme point of privilege- he isn't focused on someone of his own race being murdered due to racial bias, or on being angry at one of his fellow officers for using his power unjustly. (1/2) #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

@ancb2021 Yes, I thought it was interesting that marginalized groups use social media to "circumvent gatekeepers" in a similar way, but they get access to a direct public platform for the first time and police use it to further control and manipulate perceptions of their actions #SO339

[lefreder @lefreder]

CBE/towards him and more about the women revealing the vulnerabilities of the drillers that they see, thus making them seem less tough and authentic as gang members? The roles of gang members and romantic partners are conflicting but equally important to who they are (2/2) #SO339

When Stuart discusses his attempts to interview the women surrounding the Corner Boys in the author's note, he hypothesizes that it's because he might "undermine their attractiveness." Could this denial of access be less about Stuart pushing them away from (1/2) #so339

[lefreder @lefreder]

@li_so339 Yes, this made me wonder if there are other marginalized groups that portray stereotypes to appeal to this outside fascination and "commodify their disadvantage." Things like memes and short videos online make it even easier to appeal to this and gain notoriety #SO339

As someone who listens to rap, I do think it provides getting T'd, even if just for daily tasks, but I had never thought about it in terms of regaining power, guiding social interactions, and providing safety. Do the same concepts apply here? Are they in other genres? #SO339
