We’ve been discussing in class content filtering in a way that outlines it as ultimately bad, but in some cases such as this, it’s totally welcome. Now I just wonder what’s stopping Twitter and other domains from blocking other racists groups–or racists groups altogether? Content filtering in the sense of racism or even explicit content (in the way Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have always done) doesn’t seem to be a problem, but I wonder if there are people out there who will argue that it is.

Who has the rights to control what is posted on social media? This plays into to idea of freedom of speech and how it has been scrutinized in the digital age.

I think Anonymous hackers are definitely an exclusion to online slacktivism. They are engaging actively on the internet, making changes, and overall changing the internet. There is no denying that activism can take place online, especially with groups like this. But the point is that they’re not just retweeting something or posting an article – they are acting in big ways.
