@carolyn_guertin How could Facebook be changed to promote more significant/deeper social relationships (like the ones that Aristotle outlined)?

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin Facebook friendships are built off of tribalism, the bond forged by common experience or condition. Since people are political creatures, this tribalism enforced by Facebook's structure segregates groups and interferes with the values of democracy.

@carolyn_guertin
Aristotle's views on friendship could have helped Zuckerberg construct Facebook in a way that promotes more sophisticated and deeper social relationships, and helped him realize the significance of governance and politics in friendship.

1: Would the #BlackLivesMatter movement have been the same and gained the same traction if it had been on another platform?
2: Do you think that the use of social media in activism is significant enough to make a global difference?

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin Because of the nature of Twitter, content shared in the #BlackLivesMatter is rich and complex, allowing users to participate in and learn about the narrative, share their own stories within the community, and allow the movement to go viral.

@carolyn_guertin They act as a technological solution to institutional problems.

@carolyn_guertin The 4 freedoms of software are rights to use, distribute, modify, and redistribute derivative versions. These are integral in the open-source movement. Freely available code encourages learning and discourages monopolistic software practice. #dc2001 #group4

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin Open-source movement also acts to make information available to a wider audience base for use.

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin Open source refers to the publication of software to make it freely available for collaboration and modification by other users. The movement seeks to promote public collaboration of data in order to build upon existing work. #dc2001 #group4

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin The relationship between the open-source movement and hacking is that they both promote the sharing of information, and both are devoted to openness and transparency, despite the wide-spread connotation of hacking with negative actions. #dc2001 #group4

4: Even though users are so aware of their lack of privacy on Facebook, why do they still use it?
5: Facebook claims that our privacy is our responsibility; do you think that privacy should be given by the corporation or actively sought by users?

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin
1: What is the difference between privacy & secrecy?
2: Do you believe that people just want secrecy, not privacy?
3: It is mentioned that people start to care less about their lack of privacy on Facebook; do you agree?

@carolyn_guertin
Key takeaways:
- Facebook takes away your control subtly so you don't realize; easier to accept it
- Privacy is an illusion in the setting of social media; it is a combination of autonomy and dignity
- Tradeoff exists between privacy and convenience

@carolyn_guertin "Cryptopticon" is described as an information ecosystem of mass surveillance. The "Zuckerberg Doctrine" describes Facebook as a system of the Cryptopticon and methods used to surveil, store, and exploit user data and their sense of privacy. #DC2001 #Group3

@carolyn_guertin I think that many students would benefit from a more interactive form of education in order to prepare them for what is expected of them in their future/careers. #dc2001

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin While technology is a vital part of education, it is difficult to say whether education is social, as the technology is often used as a tool for teaching/learning, and not for networking or communication. #dc2001

[Rainey @rainey_guo]

@carolyn_guertin For most students today, technology is a more important part of their education than textbooks are; it is used to take notes, access resources, and even complete assessments. #dc2001
