Talk:Zoe Zemper

Hi, Zoe! It was interesting to read how the uniqueness of your name led to direct and authentic findings of information about you through the internet. For me, there are multiple individuals with my name, which led to inconsistent findings throughout different websites. I think exploring your Google Ad settings was a creative idea since it is it Google’s depiction of who you are based on your search data, rather than factual data like your address or phone number. Also, seeing that several results came up that you didn’t post, like your tennis records, was interesting to note because they aren’t posts you made yourself but are tied to. My suggestions would be to further discuss the ethical concerns you have about how these sites obtained your information without you knowing, like the voter ones, and what can be done with it. For example, displaying a person’s address could be a safety threat if the information falls into the wrong hands. Also, you could explain the issues with opt-out processes being unclear or tedious and the need for data privacy prioritization across the web. Overall, I think you did a great job sharing your story on your exploration into your data identity! - Erika Kohl
