What stood out to me in the article “Networked Privacy” was the way in which the author interpreted how we should analyze and address privacy concerns. At the end of the article, the author emphasized that we must not center or focus on the individual, but rather develop models that center networks of people as the unit of analysis. This made me go “wow” as I have previously thought about surveillance technologies and algorithms solely on an individual basis. The fact that these technologies can draw upon our social network makes this privacy concern even more alarming. Moreover, in the article “What is a Personal Learning network”, the author described how jobs and education can be affected by long-term social distancing. This made me wonder about the physical and mental concerns of a population with long-term social distancing. I also wonder if there are any studies on this yet?
