the difference between hate speech and freedom of speech should be observed through tin lenses, taught by professionals in classrooms at a young age. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

every kid playing video games that have a mic and allows them to communicate with others should be taught by their parents about digital codes! #lesson13

weirdly enough, i was typing xbox on my timeline and later on when i refreshed my twitter page, xbox canada posted their recent post on forza horizon 4, an xbox game. #lesson13

ads are everywhere for a reason, its people trying to jump on the occasion to make their money, because they're aware of how social media works! #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

think about it, would you say it in class when being asked to speak, in front of hundreds of people, or would you be too scared of what people may say? that concept should be the same online, hiding behind your screens won't save you from the truth. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

some people will provoke you and wait for your hateful response back, if they choose to use free speech in that way, it is their choice and not yours. Your freedom of speech can be to not reply to stupidities! #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

although the truth can hurt, you should rethink before being the one who delivers the truth to the ones who cannot see it. it will take a lot of time and responsibility in your hands to show that point of view, and better refrain from it if youre not ready. #freespeech #lesson13

what is more important to you, to be heard at all, or to be understood online? if its to be understood, make sure you elaborate on your message before sending it. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

when delivering a message online, don't forget that the content can be approached from different point of views. before posting it, its important to view all angles and to make sure it won't issue anyone. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

don't only think before speaking, more importantly, think before clicking "send". #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

since technology is so used around the world, it makes sense to me to make a mandatory course in college and in high school where students must pass in order to get credits. #lesso13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

i think the best way to spread awareness of the code that comes with digital technologies, to my peers or my future students, is to teach the concept in classrooms, at a early age. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

digital codes are not the same for everyone, they vary through communities and age groups. it is under our responsibility to decipher the codes. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

by using youtube or any of those social media platforms, it is possible to track what people like, with the digital code algorithm and make money from it. #lesso13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

very useful to understand how social media works if you have in plan to monetize your blogs or even memes. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

some kids are really nice in person, but do not understand the effects of cyber bullying online, and most probably think it is funny. if we took the time and responsibility to teach those same kids about digital codes, im sure they will respect it. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

the digital code should be forced to be taught to children at a young age before they use technology, and i think it can solve a lot of problems. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

hate speech online can be way worst than in person, because it creates a community of haters. #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

we encourage and sing alone racist song lyrics and lyrics that degrade woman... are we really listening to the lyrics or do we all implicitly know that its just song lyrics, nothing more, nothing less?? #lesson13

[simon malaborsa @simon86595526]

digital codes and digital citizenship is so important, i wish it was in place when i was young and used to hear inappropriate things from other kids through the mic. #lesson13
