| − | Emily, I found your piece so interesting! I went through a similar thought process that you mentioned in the beginning of your piece about how Emily is such a common name, so I was just as excited as you to find that results for our names came up on Google! I thought it was really interesting how you searched by places that you’ve lived in the past and it was so interesting how Google was able to, in a way, remember things for you (like the mural and spelling bee). I was shocked to see that there is a website that shared such personal information like your name and address. I think one thing you could consider adding is more information about the site because that was definitely an intriguing find. Maybe what their privacy policy is or if there’s a way to find out where they’re getting the information from? I also really enjoyed your point about how it might not be ethical for so much information about minors to be displayed online without their permission as it’s something I never really considered and definitely a scary concept. Great job! | + | |

| + | Hi Emily, great job with this piece. I really like the fact that you started from a simple google search of your name and then got more sophisticated after in order to demonstrate what the implicit/hidden information on web can reveal about you. To elaborate, I think the part where you talk about how someone can access your full address and name of your church is super important (And spooky too…) as I believe this example illustrates the ethical conflict that is incorporated in this digital realm of information. I feel like this piece can be improved by talking about the ethical implications as well as how it relates to the notion of power dynamics. You are doing a great job in describing what the issue is and giving concrete examples, but I feel like you can connect them better in the bigger picture. - Ege Gunes | ||
