Thank you for your comments and constructive criticism of my Policy Primer on Twitter's TOS. You have made some valid points, however I would like to give you an explanation as to the choices I have made.
Firstly, you have addressed the length of my primer and suggested I could have summarised it in less pages. Perhaps this is true, but I think that as many of the pages only contain one line of text I have avoided weighing down the reader with too much information. It also gives it a flow and propels the reader to the next slide, rather than a paragraph of text that can be stagnant in this kind of presentation and have the reader's attention fade and wander. I incorporated images for this reason too, offering the reader a point of interest and provoking response and emotion. For example on slide 15 I am make a point about deception on Twitter, I have used the image of a young boy in a Batman outfit to support this and present it in a way that is familiar and accessible to a generalist audience.
Secondly, I chose to focus on Copyright and Privacy and had considered addressing other topics such as age restrictions of Twitter users but felt that this would require me to thin out the rest of the information in my presentation and make it less effective.
The Terms of Service of Twitter (and many other platforms) is long and at times quite dry, leaving the reader disinterested. I believe my presentation has effectively covered many of the key issues of Twitter in an entertaining and informative manner and offers an alternative overview of the TOS for the intended audience. 1 year ago
Twitter is free social network who allows everyone to share their photos, videos or any other content they want, as you mentioned in your power point, twitter users are responsible for any content they post, they must aware their content will be accessible by other twitter users, even via websites and third parties (Twitter, 2011). Through twitter TOS you agreed your information be accessible by Twitter, if you use any third parties they can access your information too and twitter does not support any content you post on twitter (Twitter, 2011). When users visit the site, twitter records all information (IP address, domain type, browser and the webpages you visit), that they browsers send and their IP addresses will different every time they logon (Twitter, 2011). I think you should mention, children under 13 cannot use twitter, but because they can give invalid birth date to twitter, twitter cannot guarantee all of its users are above 13, because it does not knowingly collects personally identifiable information of children under 13 and twitter says it’s their parents job to check their children who are under 13 to do not use twitter and if parents contact with privacy@twitter.com and announce their child (under 13) use twitter, twitter will delete their child account (Twitter, 2011).
