Critical Thinking Coursework | Social networks (Do, Read, Write)
In this assignment we will be considering and comparing Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. You do not need an account with any of these social networks in order to complete the coursework.
Part 1
Complete the following table that compares the different features of the three social networks:
(Asking for help)
If you are unable to complete a cell in the table you can ask for help in Slack.
If you know the answer, don't just tell them. You should discuss how someone can find out the answer themselves.
Are users asked for their date of birth when they sign up?
Can an ordinary user pay money to the social network for greater access or more services?
Is it ever possible for a user’s profile and/or messages to be viewed without logging in to the network?
Can users choose any name for their account, or are they expected to use their own name?
Are users informed when someone views their account?
Part 2
List five items of data that social media platforms know, but don't always share with account holders.
Please state which social network(s) you are referring to for each of the five items.
For example, in Question 1 you should have seen that not all social networks tell users when someone has looked at their account.
