AllyConsidering what we know about the performative nature of social media from Lane et al. and Stuart, I wonder if social media content should be seen as a form of 'art' instead of an accurate depiction of reality. Song lyrics are one example of media that is considered 'art' and thus not typically admissible as evidence of a crime in court, why not extend this label to social media posts as well? #so339
Argyle@bluerose257 This is a pretty interesting idea, but I think the problem is a lot of the time the posts are pretty obviously crimes. For example recently people posted themselves breaking into the Ole Miss stadium and stealing equipment. For other examples like the Corner Boys holding a gun, you cannot be in possession of a gun a lot of the time so ti is a crime. #so339
