Hi Stanley, I really liked your post! It does a good job of detailing your online profile and showing just how hard it is to find information on a specific person. I thought it was really interesting when you said that your Google search didn’t bring back anything significant despite you searching with several different names. It’s interesting how the internet has so little information on you despite the fact that your name seems fairly common. Personally I think it’s a good thing that they don’t have much on you, but I am glad you were at least able to get a story out of not being able to find your data profile. It seems like you’re doing a good job of keeping yourself safe from the internet, so keep it up!

Hey Stanley, I liked your ending where you said "these burdens will just spoil my experiences." It seems you are using many products anonymously. Why do you choose to be anonymous on the Internet; what are the pros and cons of that? I would love if you elaborated this point more earlier on in your story. I would also love to hear what you believe your Chinese data footprint looks like and how it compares to your data footprint in the United States. Is it nice to have no footmark or an inconvenience? I think your social media section is a little lacking of information and may not even be necessary, since you have so many other sections that you can definitely expand on. You have some very interesting points such as your "secret forum" that I think you can carry out even further until the conclusion. Great work!

Good job with your post! I liked how you gave a little background on yourself and your social media/internet usage before you dove in to anything else; it helped us gain a little perspective into what kind of internet user you are. I think the main thing I would try to improve would be to reflect on your data broker profile and Google searches a bit more. You talk about how your data broker information had almost nothing about you as well as it was very difficult to find yourself on Google. Reflecting on these two things and talking about how they make you feel would definitely improve your post. Do you like being hard to find online? Do you wish you were easier to find? If you talk answer some of those questions, it would improve your post! Nevertheless, good job!
