case study
<pclass=”msonormal” http:=”” www.homeworkminutes.com=”” “=”” style=”box-sizing: border-box; user-select: text;”>.0pt;line-height:normal;background: #D9EDF7″>Over the past couple of weeks there has been discussions in the news and other media about Facebook and the way that the company allows others, specifically Cambridge Analytica to use the data of unknowing consumers for political purposes. This has brought up the continual questioning of Facebooks own use of customer data, as well as the issues of the way Facebook could be seen as a sloppy steward of the data they have collected.
One articles that highlight the issues is:

Facebook is facing these ethical dilemmas as it announces that the company is delving further into AI applications and research, telling consumers that they are approaching this technology with ethics in mind. There are two articles on CNET from yesterday that discuss how the company is moving forward with these projects, though they may not have public support due to fears of customers that their privacy may be violated.

As these social media companies grow larger and more powerful, and as technology advances, there is a growing concern about the ability of these mega giants to use the evolving technologies to monitor and enact surveillance on unknowing consumers. The following video, though majorly flawed, illustrates a growing concern:
I want to point out that the young man who created this video did some research, and realized that it was the close captioning software that he was using to make the streaming video on Youtube that was pulling out key words to target the advertisement. By the way, this is not the only video on Youtube where people are trying to definitively prove that Google, Facebook, SnapChat, Twitter, and other social media companies are monitoring their customers. As our technology has become more technologically converged, every phone and most computers have a camera and a microphone. Most phone have geotagging capabiities, that can pinpoint any user’s location within a few feet. Phone apps have been using this data for years to tell you how close a potential suitor is to you, or how close a particular business or service is to you. But these apps also know where you are located, and the potential for misuse has always been in the background.

Remember, you are not expected to take a political stand on this issue. You are expected to look at the events and the situation through the “lens” of the reading and the viewing assignments you had been assigned for the first fourteen weeks of class. Though this case study has a political significance, look at those political issue through the lens of your readings.
