Hi Bailey, thank you for your reflective post! You did an awesome job tying your personal and professional growth to your PLN use for outfit inspiration—look good feel good do good! You also listed some great actionable tips when it comes to digital privacy and ethical behaviour online. Cropping out something as small as a house number is something I had never thought about before but will definitely start doing. Also, your reference to O’Reilly et al. and how there is a lack of empathy in digital spaces really stood out to me. I’ve noticed it seems like people online are desensitized to seeing events of mass casualties or tragedies because whenever I check the comment sections on posts, I always see people making jokes or not acknowledging the severity of the situation. The most recent example that comes to mind is the unfortunate shooting that took place in a business building in New York. I saw a lot of people were making jokes about how to victims deserved it because they worked for a large investment company, but that’s insane to be saying because at the end of the day a life was lost, and that was someone’s child. I think along with the absence of social cues affecting empathetic responses, people also seem to feel an inflated sense of anonymity and confidence typing behind their screens, and they don’t think before they speak. Overall, your post does a great job demonstrating how digital safety, empathy, and responsibility all go hand-in-hand in creating a respectful environment for everyone online.
