#so315 it is a really big dilemma discussing whether Meta AI or humans would be better fact checkers to ensure content is safe for users to view. i think if AI is programed correctly and in depth, it can serve as a good fact checker. If they do decide to take notes from the community as well, they need to ensure they have a wide enough variety of different people from different backgrounds to make sure the opinions are including many groups of people.

#so315 I found it very interesting to read about the behind the scenes processes that go into reviewing Facebook content. That job sounds very tough in general being exposed to all of that explicit content and it was eye opening to hear that perspective of what goes on behind the scenes of these social media platforms.

I found the segment very interesting that spoke about the increase in engagement with false news after Trump was elected as president. It made me wonder what about that specific time period or election caused fake news to be more popular than the real news presented. i can think of multiple reasons myself. #so315

I really liked the example presented in the Jensen reading about human nature. the authors talk about how you can say it is just "human nature" for students to cheat on exams, but when you change the setting from a 250 student classroom to a 25 student classroom, less people are likely to attempt cheating. this idea manifests in the way our society is structured as well. The setting or system that we are in creates the layout for how humans will act or behave. #so315

In the first reading, I found it very interesting to read about all the different types of biases that may be seen in journalism. I found the bad news bias bulletin point particularly interesting. It made me think about whether media outlets present news as worse than it is to gain more attention. it made me think about how much news presented may be overexaggerated just to catch the eye of more individuals. #so315
