After searching up my full name on Google, I felt my identity online was a very surface level perception of who I am. When beginning my search, the first few results that popped up were some of my social media accounts: LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. Following this were many many links to Pinterest boards that I had pinned. As I shuffled through every Pinterest link that popped up I would ask myself, does this encompass my true identity? I clicked on the “Images” icon on Google, and only saw my high school graduation picture to identify who I was. The rest were images of other Shriyas and again, a few Pinterest pictures that I had liked.

My Data Identity Through Google

After searching up my full name on Google, I felt my identity online was a very surface level perception of who I am. When beginning my search, the first few results that popped up were some of my social media accounts: LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. Following this were many many links to Pinterest boards that I had pinned. As I shuffled through every Pinterest link that popped up I would ask myself, does this encompass my true identity? I clicked on the “Images” icon on Google, and only saw my high school graduation picture to identify who I was. The rest were images of other Shriyas and again, a few Pinterest pictures that I had liked. When I clicked on the “News” icon on Google, the only thing that popped up was an article that talked about my high school graduation.

348 results and I felt my identity was incomplete. If someone were to search me up, I would say the only way to get a hold of information that may reflect my personality and true identity would be through social media. However, the information within these platforms is controlled by me. In the sense, I only put out things I am okay with others seeing. And because of this, it does not really reflect my entire identity. I feel there are advantages and disadvantages to the information I found about myself. While my data identity does not fully encompass my life and personality, I am happy that I have some privacy from the world. My data identity might not say enough about me, but at least it is somewhat protected from the various unethical ways information can be used online.
