Thu, 26 Feb 2015 18:53:51 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=890#comment-316I’m so glad you brought up this point. As we discussed in class, the Internet has lead to more and more digital bubbles, and what does that mean if a specific user has been raised in a hateful segment of society? Maybe it’s highly unlikely they will attempt to venture out of that role only, and only foster more and more extremist ideology. What’s so interesting to me is how a vocal minority, especially online, can bleed into other areas of the Internet in a very obvious and troubling way.

I know tumblr, for example, was recently criticized for systematically deleting accounts that shared copyrighted music while completely ignoring average users’ longtime concerns about blogs oriented around child pornography, white supremacy, and other hate speech. The regulation of online communities, especially harmful ones, is probably possible but does not seem like a priority.

Thu, 26 Feb 2015 09:10:40 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=890#comment-309Great point. I feel like I spend a lot of time around my own safe digital bubble that I sometimes forget that there are people out there who’s speech goes unfiltered. While the internet is a great tool, as you point out, for individuals seeking to defy political oppression by way of expressing their voice, the adverse affect really is evident in other countries, including our own. It kind of makes me wonder if there are even any laws or regulations for websites promoting these types of ideals. Should there be? Everyone knows who the KKK is, so why is their website still alive?

Just as there are more opportunities for these hate groups to spread messages there are communities ready to shut them down. There will always be this balance, you can’t count on everyone to have happy, go-loving attitude, I mean some people even find that against their taste. It is important to say that a network like ours has power, it gives meaning through the information that is shared and experienced by so many. Power is wonderful, but so dangerous, the internet needs to be approached with caution. Even still that doesnt make it any less beautiful though.
