Jacob good read! This was a great beginning to you data identity statement. I really like how you began with the nuances of Jake vs. Jacob. It gives insight into your perspective of identity and does well to broach the topic of how your online representation is affected by your preference to use Jake as your identifying label. Furthermore the decision to query yourself using an incognito mode was a great attempt to capture more robust and possibly unbiased results. In a future addition, you might consider using different browsers such as Safari, Opera, MS Edge, etc. and see how it factors into the type of results displayed concerning your identity. Finally, the conclusion of this identity statement is thoughtful and reflects some of the conscientious efforts on your part to stay aware of the status of your online identity. While you spoke at length on the specifics of Google yourself, perhaps you might try digging into some of the data broker websites to add more content regarding the accuracy of the publicly available information about you.

Hey Jacob. Great job starting off the page with a short paragraph of the difference between "Jake" and "Jacob". I can tell that you've spent time trying to find data about yourself if you went all the way to the tenth page to find a picture of yourself. As stated in the first few sentences, I think it would've been fine to share what details are publicly available on your Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This could be something as simple as address shared by Facebook. If you think you need more data scraping, you can also try using a free online data broker, such as Instant Checkmate, to check if there are any information they can find about you. I think it's cool how confident you are by keeping your social media accounts public. Overall, I had fun reading your page.

It was super cool to see this assignment from the perspective of someone who does have a more popular name! I really liked how you talked about how your privacy settings have a significant impact on the information that is displayed on searches. I think you also brought up a really good point in how your connection to the University of Michigan impacts how soon certain platforms you use show up in the search results. I would like to know more about how different institutions you are affiliated with impact which of your social media accounts show up first in search results!
