This post made me immediately think of Donald Trump’s tweets. I think that this day in age, especially with Trump, social media has surpassed being simply a platform of socialization but one that was almost likened to that of a newspaper. For instance, Trump tweets his every move. If social media were more privatized and protected, it would be impossible for reporters and other nations to access the information they needed. I don’t necessarily think that Twitter is the appropriate platform to publish national decisions, but I appreciate its accessibility.<\/p>\n

One question I had while reading this article was how different levels of privacy related to how much of one’s data researchers were able to access. For instance, whether one’s instagram account was public or private. Was research based primarily off accounts that were public? Or do the terms and conditions give permission to some researchers regardless of the privacy settings of the account?<\/p>\n

I also disagreed with the point made about how the ability to conduct research without direct consent allowed researchers to avoid the Bradley effect, Hawthorne effect, and response bias. I think that people cultivate their online personas, and while they might not be cultivated with the intention of responding to certain research questions, they are not truly authentic.<\/p>\n
