A sketch of my OC, Inertia, in a big yawn.

eepy

oh oops I forgot to close the thread. yeah that's all I got

Obviously there are a lot of problems with this idea, I'm just throwing things out there

Maybe we could adjust content moderation standards depending on how big the platform is? Like bigger platforms have more resources and influence, so they should be held to a higher standard compared to smaller platforms, especially around algorithmically amplified content. (1/?)

They could establish things like advisory boards focused on ethical AI. These groups can create clear ethical guidelines and enforce them through legislation.

What makes a crisis response "effective"? Can you think of a time when a company handled a crisis *poorly*, and if so, can you explain why it didn't go over so well?

—advertisement in our feeds, not only because of similarity in content, but similarity in UI ("Sponsored content" tags are getting harder to spot visually). (2/2)

#uwj201 #301
I think the shift has been pretty dramatic. Social media has completely changed how ads reach us not just in speed, but also precision. With algorithms tracking our behavior, ads are now hyper-targeted in our feeds. It's getting harder to distinguish between content and— (1/?)

Personally, I prefer advocacy reporting. Traditional objective reporting may get the basic facts without bias, but advocacy reporting highlights stories and injustices that would otherwise be overlooked. I prefer the transparency in knowing where someone's perspective lies.

Imagine you're running an MLM company struggling to reach younger audiences. Based on the reading "6 effective PR strategies for multi-level marketing companies" by Walter Bodell, what PR strategies would you implement?

—they feel from those in power, and things just spiral from there. (2/2)

#uwj201 #301
I think it also creates a feedback loop: the more disconnected people feel from those in power, the more they turn to communities that validate their doubts or suspicions, even if those spaces are misinformation central. The more they turn to these spaces, the more disconnected— (1/?)

I think the size of the group matters depending on the platform—on X (cough, Twitter), for example, a few loud voices can feel like a majority. So even small groups can trigger the spiral if they're visible and vocal enough.

#uwj201 #301
The reading "Americans are fighting coronavirus misinformation on social media" discussed the risks associated with correcting misinformation on social media. Do you think these risks outweigh the benefits?

#uwj201 #301
I try to engage with most sources, but I will admit there are some media outlets that I do not touch at all. For example, I automatically do not trust more conservative outlets, mostly because I find the way they write about certain topics is not good for my mental health lol

#uwj201
It's getting harder for me to give sources a second chance, is basically what I'm saying.

#uwj201
—damage that I check out completely. Yes, it's important to engage with different perspectives, even if I don't always agree with them, and sometimes revisiting a source can provide a fresh perspective! Most of the time, though, I find myself disappointed again.

#uwj201 #301
I agree that media plays a powerful role in shaping and reinforcing our beliefs. Personally, I try to stay open to reading articles from news sources that have previously disappointed me, but sometimes I just. do not have the patience for that. Or the article causes so much psychic—

#uwj201 #301
How does the concept of the hostile media effect influence the way people interpret news coverage of current events, and what strategies should journalists use to mitigate its impact?

I think we are shaping the message by engaging with content that aligns with our values. Algorithms amplify the most engaging content, which reinforces certain messages while filtering out others. Brands craft the message, the audience determines its reach/impact. #uwj201 #301

Social media played two roles when it came to informing. One was as a crucial tool for rapidly disseminating information from health organizations and reputable news sources. The other was as a breeding ground for misinformation. I think the effectiveness of social media depends— (1/?)

How might public perceptions of data-driven advertising influence the ways different social groups engage with online political discourse?

A pencil sketch of my OC, Inertia. They face the viewer, their eyes shadowed with a smirk on their face.

when the quiet kid snaps

—amplifies the perception that protests are violent. (3/3) #uwj201 #301

However, sensational stories are what gets traction in today's media environment, so stories focusing on the actual issue being protested likely just end up getting buried anyway. Either way, the violence is likely going to be the first thing people see on the issue, which— #uwj201 #301 (2/?)
