blog post week 3

Section 1
The article is about racism or stereotyping on the internet. We all know that nothing sells more than bad news about someone in any information company. The article talks about how people make stories about how race is a big part of the issue. Some people are very familiar with "Why black lives matter" and "Islomicphobia". Many people make site entries as click bait by making the title about race or religion. Click-baiting just to get more likes or just to get the numbers up is becoming more and more of a problem on the internet. Now, most sites have a bias about whatever subject they have on the internet. Depending on how much bias the site shows needs to be kept at a minimum. For filtering content, the site should just filter out comments by saying something along the line as spoiler warning but more fitting for the site so that people are more informed about what was said. If the site is filtering out content than they need to be held fully accountable for giving out false information.

Section 2
I thought that the article was nice. It brought out a lot of information about how people of color and religion want to make more of a change on the internet. We all know that racism and stereotyping happens in almost any form of media. I find it reassuring that this group is helping to get peoples stories out into the open so that people can listen to them. It is so important to have your voice out there. With more people speaking up the more influence the message has and the bigger the audience it reaches. Change may be slow but it will always come when people just step up and talk.
