 For this blog post, I wanted to talk about TikTok being banned all over the United States. Many people in the government, including the president Joe Biden, are against the use of TikTok around the United States. This is due to TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, being required by Chinese law to make the app's data available to the Chinese Communist Party. This also means that everyone that uses TikTok is at a risk to being spied upon by the CCP. I remember during Trump's presidency that he tried to ban TikTok in the United States but it did not work out due to some of the courts denying or rejecting his decision.

Deepfakes for example, can be used with ill intent and to harm individuals' reputation, status and career. Many deepfakes look obvious that it is not legitimate but some of the edits that have been made and posted around the wo

 For this blog, the Virtual Scavenger Hunt consisted of using different website URL's and having your own work by trying to search up key terms in order to fulfill the objective given on the worksheet. Throughout this process, most of what you had to do ranged from easy searches such as finding three different websites that were specific online dating sites, to finding a specific name of someone who is related to another person in the class. Throughout this, I did not have a hard time finding many of the URL's needed for each question. It was relatively easy to find out and pinpoint which ones needed to go where. However, some were a bit more difficult to find out and to try and get. The questions that were provided were a little too specific. Although it is definitely possible to find out the answers to some of these questions, it would also take a while to find the exact answer since you would need to go through many other different websites to find it. Specifically, trying t
