Price for personal Social Media info

I can't say that these people, whom are selling their own private information from social media, are crazy because I myself would be willing to sell my information. Except not for just a pretty penny, I would be willing to sell mine for all the diamonds in the world. I doubt someone would be willing to match that price, but that's the only number for my information. If i'm going to sell myself, it won't be for a measly couple grand. I may not be worth it but I'm not going to sell myself away knowing I can get more.

Here's the price tag Americans would put on their social media data

Racially Offensive Promposal

This really irritates me. It's not funny, appropriate, cool, and sends the wrong message. It's insanely stereotypical, not all African-Americans (or Blacks, I do not wish to offend anyone) pick cotton. My grandmother used to pick cotton and she was Hispanic, there's no need for the stereotypes. I don't care if you think it's funny or your friends think it's funny, doesn't matter. It's wrong. I understand if you were raised to think like that, but then again some people were raised to think of themselves as inferior to others. Either way it's wrong. Racism is learned. People shouldn't feel that way about themselves.

New BuzzFeed series

I don't know how I feel about BuzzFeed's new "Future History:1968" series. I was taught that 1968 was a very hectic and troublesome year. That being the case, I think this series will open up a lot of debates and will talk about things that are very controversial. I just think BuzzFeed should be very careful about what they say and do. Some people might get offended or start other drama that is unnecessary and inappropriate. Not to mention the journalists are Russian, and last time I checked, not a whole lot of people like Russians in the U.S.

Quitting Social Media

I am a little surprised with the numbers that this article presents. Then again I am really not sure what to expect. I would say it can be pretty difficult to give up social media entirely. I take break sometimes, but I myself would be unsure about quitting social media forever. I can be in contact with more people on social media than through text/call alone, so that would the the main reason I am iffy about quitting. But, like always, that's just me. I don't know how other people think about social media, most likely different from me.

Lee County School Response

After reading the article, I was very content with the superintendent's choice of actions and words. He made sure to tell all parents and families of students attending threatened school what was going on without stating major specifics, he also made aware that there would be law enforcement on campus for extra measure. I think that was a great call, whether something was going to happen or not. I especially appreciated his statement on the seriousness of the issue and how publicly posted threats are not a joke and should never be overlooked. I think this was dealt with very well and should be an example of what should be done when these things happen.

Facebook researching social media and election relationships

I feel like Facebook has always been open and up-front about the election interference situation. I do not think I have ever read about them being difficult or trying to go around something. They have always cooperated and tried their best not to be biased. Now they are putting together a research team, not just a regular team, to improve their policies regarding elections. They are also trying to make it an unbiased team with no over-ruling ethnicity. Other than trying to fix their mistakes, Facebook acknowledged them as well. I would say Facebook is doing something right compared to others.
