After reading the above article, watch Dr. Catherine Knight Steele’s video, which asks you to introspectively examine your own pre-existing knowledge of social platforms and the role of affordances in shaping online activity and discourse. Following Steele’s video, review The Berkeley School of Information’s video on online privacy. Slides from the video can be viewed here.
