Privacy Scavenger Hunt #7

1. Epic (epic.org)
• Epic stands for 'electronic privacy information center', in which it was mentioned on October 23, 2014. It is mainly talking about how they want to minimize or eliminate the collection of personally identifiable information. This basically means that their trying to increase the privacy settings in order to protect everyone's identity.
2. Wonkblog (http://www.washingtonpost.com/privacy-policy/2011/11/18/gIQASIiaiN_story.html)
• Wonkblog was published on September 15, 2014 in which goes threw the privacy policy over whatever they post. They mention that the most important thing is protecting the privacy of your personal information. This simply means that while your in your phone, website, tablet this policy will be still applied no matter what. Some changes they have done in the past has been the way they post their items because it wasn't working efficiently.
3. Deadspin (http://legal.kinja.com/privacy-policy-90190742)
• Deadspin is a sport website in which they post the most updated information over any sport basically. The privacy policy is slightly different because on each comment you make their is privacy to it as well. This privacy is basically split into very different sections in which it goes more in debt. The problems that are in this website are said by the fans and than they fix it or if it is more serious than they close the website and fix it.

Privacy Blog Assignment#6

Four online services:

1. Instagram
2. Facebook
3. Snapchat
4. GroupMe

Privacy Settings are & options for privacy:

1. Instagram is private in my account, if you are not following me you are not able to see it.Their is only 2 options because one is public and the other is private.
2. Facebook is private for a lot of reasons, the options they offer are public,private and you get to choose who you can make it private to and stuff like that.
3. Snapchat in general is private for everyone, if you don't have them as a friend you wont be receiving the 10 second pictures or videos.
4. GroupMe is a app specialized to message anyone in general. This app wont work if your not in a group. The privacy setting is if you are in a group messaging their the only ones that can see the message.

Summary: 

I believe that the one with the best privacy setting will be Instagram because without you approving them and they approving you they don't have any way of looking at your post. Instagram in fact recently got a new privacy policy and they wrote a new statement of how its going to help the privacy settings and stuff like that. The worst policy would be probably Facebook because if you choose specific people and you might mess it up so that everyone can see it except the people you blocked. I feel really secure using these services because before I post anything I think it twice because once its in the media will always be even if you delete it. As well the privacy is really advanced now to the point that you only could see their name or picture. Not having enough information to identify you with these settings.

Group Report #1

For this group project  everyone will be getting the work equally done in this case there will be only 3 roles, I will be looking for some examples over how social media has really impacted jobs. My group members will be looking more in debt for the information, and start designing the Prezi or Google presentation. I feel like this is really important to us because whatever you put on the media will always be in there. So if you apply for a job and your boss gets your full name he will be able to search up your ‘Facebook’ and will be able to judge you based on what you have uploaded on their before. More specifically I will look for several articles or news reports that show where this has occurred. As well how it has impacted the jobs in a positive or negative way. Knowing what these examples have caused in the long run will impact the way that companies will grow as well since they will choose people that fit well with what their applying for. I will be looking more in debt with scholarly articles, so that the research is more believable and acceptable.

Blog Assignment 4

The theme to 'News Bank' one of the sites I had picked for the assignment a while back is basically showing how their is issues in general. One way they can refer to the issues they mention is health, bullying, conflicts. This is really interesting because this news blog is actually keeping me updated with problems around the world. As well another one that a recently looked into was the 'Alexander Street Press'. The theme for this blog is if you need any information on how to play really antique music it would teach you how here. What i have done was actually click on a random song but it mentioned weird instruments and as well the notes of how to play it. I taught this was the most interesting because it is a really helpful website for those that can read notes.

Chinese Gold Farming

The 'Chinese Gold Farming' is basically people that are stuck playing video games for living. They play for 12 hours non-stop in which they go everyday doing this only getting 2 or 3 days off per month. This people are making about 30 cents per hour in which this would not be fair for the workers. In fact the boss of these guys or colligates students is winning $3.00 per hour in which it is 10 times more than the employees. The employees are not winning enough money for them to be stable. The most popular game they played is called 'World of Warcraft'. This game is basically about looking for enemies and killing them. The way they get points in this game is by them killing and the more they score the more equipment the avatar will receive.
