Data from Privacy: lj 2 The "We are Data" reading part provides us with knowledge about data privacy and essentially the personalization of the Internet based on the data of each individual person throughout the globe. Starting with the "right to be forgotten" by EU courts forced upon Google in 2014, where "European users can submit a takedown request of European search results that are "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to those purposes and in the light of the time that has elapsed" (Cheney-Lippold, 2019) .

Hands-On Assignment 2 Part A To me, media are every form of communication between people to people such as Tv, radio, flyers, billboards, etc..., even reporters and anchormen or anchorwomen are considered parts of media.

However, after listening to friends' reviews, and realizing it's an excellent alternative to face-to-face conversation, I have decided to take a chance and use it.

The first social media platform I used was Facebook, and I often focused on myself back then, I would post everything about my daily life, every hilarious post that I found, and everyth...

Welcome to my blog My name is Hung Nguyen and I'm an international student from Vietnam, but I have friends and relatives in Orange County, California so I mainly go there to visit them when I'm not in the Tampa area. My major is Business Analytics and Information Systems, which is primarily about analyzing data to help businesses grow, and my minor relates to sensory marketing analysis which revolves around marketing based on the 5 senses.
