" More tha...Great questions & insights ... " More than ever, I feel like a lot of my ideas about these topics are in flux, and I don't know where I land on these topics." I feel the same way -even after I do a study I'm not always sure how I feel about it. <br /><br />"What are the legal and ethical issues involved with those practices, and how do digital researchers handle those?" Very carefully? I do know some people who have done Facebook research, but I'm not sure how they dealt with getting permission, or not, from the site.<br /><br />"It seems that we give corporations like Facebook a lot of power when we agree to their evolving terms of service, and perhaps one way to take back some of that power is through using other tools (e.g., Texifter) that can help us better understand how social media works. Are critical theorists more flexible in their thinking about some of these platforms' rules and expectations? And if so, how does the IRB feel about that?" What do you mean by "more flexible"? I like your idea about taking back power but getting the data ourselves, especially since Facebook is selling all the data to advertisers anyway...trena paulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948790466621858830noreply@blogger.com
