Comment from Caroline Taketa: Hi Catherine! I love your wiki page! Your data identity statement is clear and easy to follow. I also really enjoyed the way you structured your essay by breaking down each search engine and the specific evidence/results that you found in each one. I particularly liked how upon discussing how your online data presence made you feel, you suggested several possible steps that you could take in order to minimize the amount of data that could be found on you in the future. Additionally, I found the fact that your unlisted softball recruitment video appeared in your google search of yourself to be very interesting. You could possibly consider investigating this further since their listing of your unlisted video defeats the purpose of being able to choose whether or not you want your video to be listed in the first place. You could review YouTube’s privacy statement (if you can find it - I have a feeling that YouTube does a great job of hiding this type of information) as it seems that there might be some loophole that allows them to list unlisted videos. Another interesting analysis that you could possibly do is look into LinkedIn’s privacy policy as well given that the side screen profile Bing created on you listed LinkedIn as the platform for which they retrieved their data. It is funny because we use social media platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn so frequently and so casually, but perhaps there is some additional layer of privacy invasion that the biggest tech companies always seem to have. Overall, your entire page is very strong and I thought your statement was awesome! Great job!!

Hi Catherine. I really enjoyed reading your piece as for mine, and others I had checked it had been difficult to find information. To see your point of view with an abundance of accurate information was very interesting. To being, the formatting and sections of your writing worked very well. There was a compare and contrast element that worked well. The conclusion was also a highlight. In particular, it was enjoyable to see your reactions to what you found, and how you planned on changing things going forwards. One thing that might help is including information about what your tweets say about you. If someone was to click on your twitter and binge it, would it be accurate today?
