@MediaRhetoric The web and media were not formed under equitable structures made to serve the common good,so therefore systematic inequalities still exist.Techno ambiv until further notice,as these tools are just of that- they don't contain the same creative capacity one can make

[olivearenzi @olivearenzi]

@MediaRhetoric AI inducing longevity and web enhancing sharing economies intensifies unequal class relations no matter how accessible they become. In fact,their over accessibility pressures the existent economy and civilians to adapt, creating a shift of norms with no regulations

@MediaRhetoric Ironically, the presence of a disability validates and determines your status but Kidd points out, "visibility is not the same as liberation" (2017, pg.113) as abelist norms are often reinforced when more visibility is involved

@MediaRhetoric each work centralizes on the importance of utilizing technology as a tool, recognizing human patterns and connecting perspectives globally for a critical understanding. Limits arise, as these systems variably proceed with public health and wellness in mind.

@MediaRhetoric Kidd defines culture of anonymity as effecting change that may not otherwise happen,while also threatening accountability(pg. 141, 2017).Modulation poses similar implications, as creative voices can provide empowerment,but also reinforce norms or misconstrue truths

@MediaRhetoric When reading that Occupy members had a hard time articulating clear and effective demands as they collectivized, it reminded me of how Marx described class consciousness as more difficult to develop within the 99%

@MediaRhetoric Liberal fetishism of privacy often equates privacy with notions of secure finances and positive effects (Fuchs, 2017, pg. 191-192). But in reality, this ideology only helps companies like FB become less transparent and do who knows what with their capital power...

@MediaRhetoric using media in ways that can fulfill your personal desires,goals,relations, etc. can be beneficial.
among our current circumstances, it is my hope that navigating online communities and the internet will be used to stay updated, learn, and connect in valuable ways

@MediaRhetoric Corps like Google avoid taxes by moving locations and arguing legislation,which shows how little they support communities. This is similar to Twitter, how they've had tax breaks the past 10 years, arguably worsened vitality in SF, now want to move out cuz of Prop C

@MediaRhetoric homepages leave first impressions. Nosedive showcases people rating after minimal interaction with one another. Both leave room for others to judge based off their perspective rather than see the full person, or picture if you will

[olivearenzi @olivearenzi]

@MediaRhetoric Media does not confine sex or gender in the same ways society does, arguably because of its emphasis on storytelling as these narratives redefine hegemonic norms while expressing important, unheard ones.

@MediaRhetoric Zuckerberg says FB is more like a gov than a traditional company. If FB was more like a gov then where were all the regulations, protections, and ballots when we needed them? But our gov is being run more like a business so um he's not wrong...

@MediaRhetoric i forgot to tag you, I am not sure if this is still applicable but I did tweet on time this particular reading assignment/ day!

Jenkins's view of social media as participatory overemphasizes on the distribution of culture rather than Fuchs who analyses participation in regards to how power is distributed within social systems economically, politically, and culturally. (Fuchs, 2017 pg. 68 & 81)

[olivearenzi @olivearenzi]

@MediaRhetoric Social media has the ability to shape our viewpoints or even the way we digest news, and since we now have politicians engaging in discussion on platforms such as Twitter it can have an effect on what we believe to be true, regardless of credibility.

[olivearenzi @olivearenzi]

@MediaRhetoric potentialities of being "mass self communicated" across platforms and in popularity for the typical citizen is low when compared to the sites with corporate influence, which is mass communication given they reach a large sum of people.

[olivearenzi @olivearenzi]

@MediaRhetoric Kidd discusses how when he joined FB a student said it was "creepy" when "old men" like him were members (2017, pg. 50). It reminded me of how platforms change with context such as the populous using it, cuz now I feel like its more popular for older people to use!

[olivearenzi @olivearenzi]

@MediaRhetoric Marx's ideas about the social being a true collective when co operative w/one another showcases how interconnectivity is necessary to productivity. W/in the context of social media's vast networking abilities,has it either helped or impeded your productivity +how?
