I think the main thing that I took away from that particular article was that by pushing the focus more on the userbase to fact check independently, it pushes less of the blame and moderation needed from the business and its perspective itself. #so315

Its interesting to think about fact checking through the Twitter/X model of community notes. It's relatively new still and I think has brought in a different approach to a misinformation problem. However, this obviously doesn't account for every post and thus a majority go unfiltered. I think it was interesting to see the split voting of approval for it as well. #so315

Stuart's overall talk of cop wisdom was quite important in showing how residents in these heavily policed areas are always anticipating. Trying to figure out what is being looked for, who is being targeted in what is considered to be "seeing like a cop". Some feel like they have to do this out of necessity: it's the only means to survive and protect themselves. And with such high stakes, who isn't going to take the precaution? #so345

Closer to the end of the documentary mentions a line of "I see myself drowning in an ocean that gets bigger and bigger. We don't know where it's going", which I think is pretty relatable. I think propaganda and fake news has blown up so much that we don't really know where the stopping point will be. If one side uses it, the other feels as if they must. It's like fighting fire with fire. #so315

I really like this documentary in the sense of how it races the term fake news and it's weaponization. It used to mean exactly what it stood for in fabrication or misinformation in stories. However, since Trump's rallies, it's been moreso seen as just being "news that doesn't align with me". I feel like this is overall heavily devastating for what democracy in media should look like. If you can just dismiss the information as fake, you never have to engage and live in a bubble. #so315

Hunt then describes how police use "accounts" to normalize these forces. These accounts help to tightrope the moral tension that uprises within the job. There's a couple that I think show up that we touched upon before break like Denial of Victim, stating "If people would just comply, there would never be a problem" or appealing to a higher authority stating the need to protect society. #so345

I think what I found interesting from the Klemko article is the lack of oversight. Only 5-10% of training courses are certified by any national body with also only one state requiring certification. If nobody is even watching these trainers and what they are teaching, then how can we be surprised when officers act in ways that shock the public conscience? #so345

I also particularly liked this reaffirmation that the real biases in news actually isn't partisan, it's more of a structural being. The need for drama, visuals, speed and overall conflict shape the news far more than the actual reporters' personal politics or beliefs, which I think is interesting to think about and how those may actually clash in similarities or in oppossition. #so315

I liked the Cline article and it's key point in addressing how there really is no such thing as an objective point of view. Stating that all communication happens in a context, which is normally being shaped by our history, politics, economics, or even social positions. #so315

I liked the overall sense of Collective Action that the chapter got at. On how people instead of coping and dealing with it alone, whatever it may be, they find communities in which stigmas don't exist because they are all alike and they cannot be singled out. #so345
