@celinem2019 @everydaydigi Interesting thought. I'd say that the majority of influencers use their accounts as a way to promote and profit from. #arin2610

Should we really be using creative commons?
This site shows why we shouldn't: #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

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

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.

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

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

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

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

Such a good idea. It’s 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 can’t help but go on our phones resorting to social media.

@LucyMCousins2 @chantelleralev1 @isabelcraven @olly_bowman @ChristyMa16 can you share yours? 🤔

@kiara_mag Personally, I believe that in the name of free trade countries should welcome foreign firms rather than restrict #arin2610

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

@marie70427668 It’s 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

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

When participating in debate and voicing strong opinions, especially toxic one, do you think people should have a right to anonymity? #arin2610

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

In a world where digital platforms are used for expression of opinion, political action and activism, do you think it’s fair to restrict certain topics or voices? #arin2610

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

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

[olly bowman @olly_bowman]

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
