Readings
Spinal cord injuries patients - try radical therapies
Can use hashtag Ferguson both either support or to critique of the protesters

When people use #Ferguson, do people feel empowered?

Other school campuses?
family more aware of STL at the time
Why did we use a place (Ferguson) as the index? Why not STL?

How does spatial proximity matter? (We are very close to Ferguson)
Relatives worry about safety & property

Social media (fb) as an echo chamber
With social media people can check other people/sources’ ideas
Or maybe not everyone

social media brings people who didn’t like to speak out to speak out more

radical comments compared to propaganda

Facebook is very much an echo chamber, Twitter not so much - hashtag

Getting paid for being memed

Does social media create more violence, or the reverse?

Authenticity and temporality of the posts
dead child’s twitter account
an artist’s live Instagram of an expedition he is not on
photoshop

Twitter, Facebook live are venues to bring the violence into mainstream/confront “sheltered whiteness"
visually based information
