Social

My research paper explores both popular and academic criticism of dominant social networks (mostly Facebook) from a user experience perspective in order to form a cohesive picture of the more mundane details of its current design philosophy and how it purveys a sort of defeatism against one's confidence in their ability to control their digital public selves. I did my best to draw from the now overwhelming amount of hard reporting, prophesying, opining, etc. on the tech industry happenstance observations, quotes, and some hard data - a journey which shaped my original argument in a big way, as well.I tried to be original and broadly-appealing in my suggestion that one need not be concerned about privacy, intellectual property law, cybercrime, disinformation, etc. to seek out alternative social platforms, but simply interested in a higher quality experience. -From my Composition II final.
