Talk:Kevin Chen

Comment From Nerissa Wang: Hi Kevin! This was such a cool read, as one you were able to take the reader through a journey on narrowing down the search engine results with modifying the queries you were sending in. A point that I really enjoyed in reading was how you were overall content with how low a profile you had maintained online via limited social media accounts but was still unsure on how much data the web could produce through other various factors. Something that you could dive deeper into is the point you made in your conclusion paragraph, where you say that although you gave your best efforts to conceal as much information as possible, any leak of information could reveal a new data identity. Overall, great read!

Comment from Noah Goldstein: Hey Kevin! This is a great page and I really enjoyed the read. I liked how you took the reader through each variation of the search results. This showed how changes in words or additional information in the search queries you were sending to Google changed the results each time. Additionally, I found it interesting how even though you maintain a very limited social media presence, articles from High School appeared in the results, meaning that a lot of the information available online about you wasn't even created by you. I think it would be interesting to expand on that concept of your data identity containing things other than your own data. Additionally, I think that you could dive deeper into the reasoning for your desire to keep profiles private and why you keep them that way. Overall, good work.

Comment from Jacob Leslie: Hi Kevin. I really enjoyed reading your page! I think you laid out the page really well and made it very easy to follow your search process. I really liked how the introduction of the page contextualized the rest of the piece. You introduced that you have a common name and are relatively inactive online and that explained why it would require a more specific search to find accurate information. I also have a pretty common name and I think it's really interesting the way your name can contribute to the security of your data identity. Additionally, you hint at the fact that this can lead to people have misconceptions based on your data identity. It would be interesting to mention a specific example of how this could easily happen. Overall, you did a really great job! Congrats on the relative success in remaining hidden from the public eye!
