My personal experience with fake news has been from a YouTube video on celebrities and the drama that surrounds them, when they don’t have any proof or good sources to say the information is true.

I think the news from the video I just copied onto this blog id just fake news, they have a idea of what’s going on and what’s the truth but no sources or reliable evidence to support there claims in anyway, just assumptions.

What is the pizza gate conspiracy? The malicious spread of fake news online had very real consequences on Sunday, when a 28-year-old North Carolina man—inspired by an outrageous conspiracy theory known as “Pizza gate”—walked into a popular Washington, D.C. pizzeria and fired several shots from an AR-15. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the man was taken into custody about 45 minutes later, but the incident underscores the very real threat of fake news.

There’s no denying the role that social media companies have in controlling the spread of fake news on their platforms. But we, social media users, also have a role to play. For example, by learning to verify information that we read on social media platforms. Personal responsibility can be the first step to protecting the fabric of our societies.

I didn’t know anything about deep fake before this module at all or in anyway, n which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else’s likeness. While the act of faking content is a not new, deepfakes leverage powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content with a high potential to deceive.

the dangers of deepfake is that it can scam people, confuse and deceive the public in many ways, the challenge with detecting deep fakes and tracking deep fakes is that they are deep and untraceable at times amateurish deepwebs can be tracked and traced.

This story is from cnet telling us the invasion of privacy from digital technology,

The Cambridge Analytica story was a rude awakening for a lot of people,” said Omar Tene, vice president of the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

These experts aren’t the only ones seeing a positive side to more people being aware of privacy issues. Facebook is too.

“We think it’s a good thing that people are more interested in using privacy controls and managing their information online,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. “In 2019, we want to keep making sure people know about the controls they have available and how to use them.”

While Cambridge Analytica was the biggest event, other privacy mistakes throughout the year continued to grow people’s concerns. Reports found, for instance, that Google’s services tracked and stored people’s location data, even if location history was disabled, while lawmakers learned that wireless carriers were selling real-time location data from your phones to tracking companies.

When reached for comment, Google pointed to a September blog post from its chief privacy officer, Keith Enright.

“People deserve to feel comfortable that all entities that use personal information will be held accountable for protecting it. And we believe that regulation can support a dynamic marketplace for businesses of all types and sizes,” Enright wrote in the post.

Wireless carriers including T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint didn’t respond to requests for comment. AT&T declined to comment. 

After the Cambridge Analytica incident, another surge of privacy awareness was brewing. You might have noticed it in your inbox in late May when a flood of privacy policy updates arrived. That’s because the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation went into effect on May 25, forcing tech companies to comply with new privacy standards for EU citizens.

While the laws apply only to the EU, tech companies with a major global footprint changed their policies across the board. This gave users more control over how companies collect their data.

How would you describe the difference of the ways political news are delivered by mainstream media and social media? Social media, especially news that is spread through social media sites, plays into the idea of the attention economy. … It is found that news use leads to political persuasion, therefore the more that people use social media platforms for news sources, the more their political opinions will be affected.

How would you describe what a verified journalism is? Has your understanding of news changed after reading about verified journalism? Do you think verified journalism has a place on social media? Verification is important for journalists as it helps build readers trust helping to establish a brand. … Often times this helps to gain even more trust as it shows the journalist is committed to providing the correct information yes verified journalism has a place on social media for accurate and truthful information

– Another platform that had a significant change on political views was Instagram because they have many other user that are either democrats or republican’s.

Why do you think political campaigns started using Facebook? politics, campaign advertising is the use of an advertising campaign through the media to influence a political debate, and ultimately, voters. These ads are designed by political consultants and political campaign staff. Many countries restrict the use of broadcast media to broadcast political messaging.

How was D. Trump’s campaign able to effectively utilize the platform? He used twitter really creatively and became a producer of tweets that people took to a certain extent.

What are the dangers coming from the fact that hyperpartisan pages generate a lot of engagement? They are giving false advertisement and not accurate information more than half of the time.

What were the Russians trying to achieve with launching fake pages in US? Chaos was the point in making fake pages, to get the media stirred up and people confused on what’s real and what’s not at the time.

I characterize Facebook as a media and a tool that people use to blog and speak how they feel, or to tell how there day is going or become a producer and pick up consumers. and how they red flag actors was the right way to go about things to be honest in my opinion.

What is the relationship between the larger culture we live in (grew up in) and the selfie culture?  The relationship is toxic and we as U.S citizens have thought all this time and have been lied too that we can accomplish and be whoever we want to be in life, but that is not true at all.

How does the technology promote, amplify and in other ways influence the selfie culture? technology really just amplifies the selfie culture and its narcissistic ways and self mannered ways.

What does a selfie mean to you? Is it a way to express any of your identities in a certain way or maybe it is an art?  Me personally, I don’t take selfies to be honest, they never was my thing, but if I do, its because I want people to see where I am at or what I am doing at that moment in time, so I guess you can call it temporary art.

How I look at Fredrick’s link from reality and the internet and how he feels it is a whole different world, I see it as his escape from the real world because he didn’t like the life he was living in reality so he would run to the internet and 8chan for freedom and felt confident he was damaged emotionally and mentally. Ways that my media life and real life media life can intertwine and become one is from posting your accomplishments or your every move on social media on the web for the looks or social status. it matters as a media professional to the link between personal life and media behavior to not get lost but to take control and advantage of the media.

What I think helped 8chan and its community was its under and how they promoted the website and used it daily and spread it around to get more user on it and to add to the website making it spread like wildfire, the users can post whatever they want. why it matters to think about the diversity and ethics of a website is because you can bring the wrong crowd and wrong type of attention especially when there are no regulations or rules. what I learned from the documentary was how people can post certain things that shouldn’t be allowed but was allowed and got in no type of trouble in anyway, biggest lesson I learned was to stay away from the dark web there can be weird and creepy stuff there leading you getting hacked or worst they get your IP address.

When was this social media platform created?

Snapchat was released July 8th 2011, about 10 years ago this multimedia app was made by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie brown who all are former students from Stanford university and developed by snap Inc, originally Snapchat Inc.

Changes that were made to the app and why?

there has been many updates throughout the years to keep up to speed with other popular apps used for social media like snapchat and twitter to stay relevant and not lose its users, which can mess up there revenue, you can use filters on snapchat, send long videosm call, facetime, make a groupchat, post on your story, etc

Why I feel as though some of these changes happened?

just to adapt, to stay in the competition, stay relevant and being used a lot by users to make money, I am honestly surprised it is still relevant today right now, it looks like it will grow from years to come for producers and consumers to use, it looks like an primary use of communication for a lot of people right now.

The four pillars of Amonge’s social media use for social change is investing in a cause, like supporting your own initiative or supporting someone’s else initiative, it is imperative that every individual has there own cause that they stand for. Next pillar is Find them, which there is two parts of them where there is landmark 2, subsection A which pertains to your team, someone who is as passionate to your issue or cause. Then there is subsection B which pertains to the rest of the world, find a way to make the rest of the world care.

another pillar is prepare and populate a remedy, you must seek out a solution of promote the solution like find a remedy and equip yourself for the future, give voice and investing. Last pillar is to be consistent which one of the most challenging ones, because the world is changing and consumers like consistency.

how the speech relates to the article I read on teen vouge was that how everything isn’t easy through social media, it takes leadership and consistency, the girl got death threats and her family was getting stalked, but only sparked her movement even more on social media.

Social issue that I care about is how Black/ African American males are depicted in the eyes of people around the united states, seen as thugs, ruthless, loud, unintelligent, what social media I would use to make a change is YouTube, were I can have many subscribers watch my videos on social justice and equal rights for black males, and spread the word and stay consistent.

How I contribute to the production of culture by using social media? well on Instagram I repost current events that haver a lot to do with shaping the world and things in the past that effected are culture, don’t have much on how things connect to a larger picture.

How my participation in producing a culture changed for me on new platforms was post having tom do with martin Luther king day or the fires in Australia, or post having to do with world war 3, looking at it from another persons point of view and understanding me posting this can have a huge impact on how things are viewed and seeing them make a change in anyway.

after watching abstract, it made me look not only at Instagram different but the world different its how we perceive things, many different people can see things differently, the rainbow seen really moved me on how the different angles at were the people were looking at the water, one seen a rainbow and the other didn’t see the rainbow.
