People who strongly believe in government often fall prey to conspiracy theories, but even skeptics can sometimes believe in some of them. However, when it comes to the government being split, it leads to weakening their unity in passing legislation. #UWJ201 #317

I agree with you; as technology advances, it becomes harder to identify these kinds of manipulation and edits. However, it truly depends on one to be able to pay close attention and distinguish it. #UWJ201 #317

I feel like this issue leads to many people losing trust in fact-checkers due to the influence of famous leaders. Since their posting or tweeting something can lead to misguided information about important things. #UWJ201 #317

Yes, this is true, as we can observe it in daily occurrences, whether we notice it or not. On either being convinced or selecting the little things. #UWJ201 #317

I believe AI algorithms have done their best to mitigate bias. However, like humans, we aren't perfect, so there will always be some errors in the format. #UWJ201 #317

That's a great perspective on how Target focuses on its business. But how will this affect the way prices rise, and the engagement there will be between customers and products? Will this lead to a decrease or an increase in consumption? #UWJ201 #317

This is a great point since the article discussed how Facebook handles the situation depending on how poor, small, or non-Western the area is. This shows how Facebook doesn't consider its users equally, but differently, due to the importance and power they have. #UWJ201 #317

I would say that all the false news leads people to believe it more and impacts their decision-making in choosing something they'll eventually regret. Due to how much it's being advertised to them through all the different kinds of media. #UWJ201 #317

This is a good question. I feel like the connections we make daily are important for moving forward or aiming for goals in life. Since we use them as either motivation or a reason to continue on this path. Which leads to happiness and some sadness as well. #UWJ201 #317

I do feel like the media affects one's thinking and beliefs. But it all has to do with how it shapes one and the exposure it has since many people may not be exposed the same way from others. Leading to the differences in perspectives. #UWJ201 #317

In my opinion, this seems to shape us in a negative way for the public. Because of this, they are only interested in what will get people's attention rather than in informing them correctly. Which then later reflects on journalists being biased and corrupted people. #UWJ201 #317

This is a great question. I feel like, as a society, we think too highly of ourselves in particular content, which, due to what one may know about it, affects the consumption of further in-depth content—leaving important stories in the dust. #UWJ201 #317

I also thought the same during this reading: Many media outlets would instead look for interesting content to reveal to their viewers rather than the whole story, which may not be rating-worthy or anything like that. But for how long will this continue to happen? #UWJ201 #317

This is a great analysis. I feel both correlate to one another because they try to influence our behavior by using our emotions or creating an urge or fear to gain our attention towards them. #UWJ201 #317

It focuses on what to think about based on what one sees and what one connects it to. Due to that, every social media platform acts upon what one likes and dislikes about the content they get. #UWJ201 #317

I agree with this since I also feel like the AI Power of ads internally affects our purchasing decisions. They make us purchase things from their advertising based on how we interact with the app rather than tricking us into doing something wrong. #UWJ201 #317

While reading this article, I also noticed how in-depth these stories were. In contrast to the current ones, they don't seem to support their sources. This could be because journalists have focused on maximizing viewership to get more attention from consumers rather than backing it up. #UWJ201 #317
