Hi Lauren! This was a very nice read, and I found it interesting that you are the only person in the United States with your name. I'm also curious to know how that website gets its information. I liked how you talked about your social media usages, or lack thereof for some, and that some of the pages that show up from the search query are super old and not representative of you. Since your name is very unique, I'm curious to see if any free data broker sites have any information about you as well. Another additional analysis you could talk about is having a unique name, but also trying to keep a relatively private life. What kind of outcome does that have, and is there anything you can do about it? I think this would be an interesting concept to think about for people like you who have unique names. Overall, a well written statement!

Hi Lauren! I really enjoyed reading your article and I liked the overall setup and style that you used. I like how you addressed the big question of how relevant your online data identity actually is to the "real you". Additionally, you continually address this question at the end of many sections which helps to build your argument and display it to the reader. I think a helpful addition could be to include course content, such as Floridi, to help explain why most online data identities aren't actually representative of the real person, but rather, like you said, their best moments. I think you formed your argument well enough, but diving into the "why" can be beneficial. It was a great read overall!
