After indulging in this week’s reading “It’s Not Minisformation. It’s Amplified Propaganda”, I become aware of the impact social media has in shaping others’ learning, misinformation or not. I must owe my “wow” to the unfamiliar terminology utilized in the text referred to as “ampliganda.” To my discovery, I later realized it was used as a tern to describe the shaping of society’s perception through amplification. Owing to the extensive amount of time, I indulge in the true riches of social media, going forward I will be more cautious in what I decided to flood my brain with and the information I consume. As previously discussed by my fellow classmate Mia, I also wonder if the act of sharing or reposting would be considered a propaganda act. I’m curious to see if in the foreseeable future there will be restrictions or solutions to counteract the effect of and instead uplift the powerful, just voices on social media.
