Metaverse - Metrics and Analytics: lj4

    Today, with the ever-changing ways that people depend on social media and using it for networking capabilities for whatever reason I foresee many changes that will come in the next year. I feel the part of the reasoning for changing the name and purpose to the new Meta concept is a way to rewrite Facebook’s history and try to remove some of the controversy. I feel this one of the reasons because of all the attention that Facebook gained during the elections. I also feel this way because of the stigma that Facebook has placed on youth and the mental heath of those who use their platform. In the reading it discusses Mobile Geotagging and how your location is used for being able to promote business and help businesses get more customers. I have always had an issue with this because I feel that in a way it is a way to spy on the users of these platforms. I take pride in my privacy and have all these options turned off because I feel that it is an evasion to my privacy, and I should only have that information used when I am looking up for something that I need at that period. When using the information along with what was learned in the We Are Data portion of the textbook it only goes to show that these very technologies that were meant to help and assist us in our daily living have now been turned around to track us and promote things to us. Sometimes we seem to be unaware of the possibilities that can occur the more and more that we advance out technology.
