@celinem2019 @everydaydigi Interesting thought. I'd say that the majority of influencers use their accounts as a way to promote and profit from. #arin2610
Understanding the data and breaches of privacy platforms such as Facebook make, would anyone actually be willing to pay for the sites if it meant privacy? #arin2610#PrivacyNotIncluded
Google's advertising model means it needs our data to profit, however, if it were to change to a paid site making profit through actual user payment, would it stop trying to take our data? or would they just see it as another way to make money? #arin2610
This seemed to be the two sides of social media. On one side you have the communication mediums and on the other, a lack of privacy. Do you think there will ever be a way for online communication to not breech privacy? #arin2620
#arin2610 There are nany problems with social media especially privacy, but it also provides a convenient way to chat.
The Impact of Social Media: Is it Irreplaceable? https://t.co/4fLR3v6Fng
As we are getting busier towards the end of the semester, are you finding you spend more or less time on your phones? I find the more work I have, the bigger the desire to be on my phone #arin2610
Will there ever be a time where platforms, such as Facebook, focuses its efforts on enhancing the quality of life, rather than prioritising advertisers and its revenue? #arin2610
I have always associated Google with search, and when thinking of alternative search engines (e.g. Yahoo), I tend to not trust them without meaning to, even though they both have many flaws. does anyone feel the same? #arin2610

Google and Facebook are two platforms used by many to consume news. I wonder how smart it is to depend on these two platforms for news, seeing as they prioritize profits over the users. Who else uses these as their news sources? #arin2610
Such a good idea. Itโs interesting to think about how the main use of social media are the different forms of communication it provides, and yet even when with someone in real life, communicating face to face, we canโt help but go on our phones resorting to social media.
@marie70427668 Itโs hard to imagine that a platform could be completely objective when humans are ultimately controlling and running it, so surely it must be subject to varying degrees of bias. Do you agree? #arin2610
In a world where digital platforms are used for expression of opinion, political action and activism, do you think itโs fair to restrict certain topics or voices? #arin2610
Whilst Facebook algorithms are questionable, if they were to move away from extreme personalisation, would it still be profitable? Would advertisers still be attracted to the platform? #arin2610#hflit
Facebook's personalised algorithms are creating filter bubbles, which can skew perceptions and worldviews in line with one's own preferences and beliefs. How do you think one can escape these bubbles? #arin2610#hflit

Facebook has immense power over the nature of public discourse. This example highlights Facebook's ability to reinforce stigmas around female health and wellness. #arin2610

Net neutrality in Australia does not have too great an influence. However, with no real net neutrality laws protecting Australians, will the freedom and ability to switch between providers really prevent future net biases? #arin2610#hflit
