Jeffrey Epstein's Prison Guards Put In Custody

Two prison guards on duty the night of American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s death were put in custody with the FBI Tuesday, November 19 and will be brought to federal court in Manhattan to face their charges.

Epstein’s August 10th death in the Metropolitan Correction Center was ruled as a suicide by an NYC chief medical examiner, but a medical examiner hired by Epstein’s legal team disagreed on the ruling.

The first officer on duty that night was a previous corrections officer that had been relocated and the second officer was a fully trained female guard. Both of these guards were working overtime, but it is unknown whether or not this was mandatory. 

Bureau of Prisons Director Kathleen Hawk Sawyer testified on Tuesday that the FBI is continuing to investigate the death and the possibility of a criminal enterprise. Sawyer said she does not have any evidence that disagrees with any medical examiner’s findings.

In my opinion, I think it is very obvious as to what happened on the night of August 10th. I believe that the guards either killed Epstein or were at least aware that he was committing suicide in his jail cell. If the two guards were doing their job correctly, they would not have let the suicide happen, which leads me to think that it was a murder. It will be interesting to see how the rest of this case plays out and what evidence will be brought to court.

How Email and Tech Companies Are Becoming Deceitful

As an additional blog post, I decided to write about two of the Ted Talks on privacy and elaborate on how privacy is slowly turning from a fundamental right to a form of corruption.

In the Ted Talk "Think Your Email's Private? Think Again" by Andy Yen, he elaborates on how our email is not as private as we think it is. When someone sends an email to another person, it is assumed that the recipient of that email is the only one who can read it. However, an email can go through an Internet provider, the government, and an email provider before it is even read by the recipient. At that point, an email is not even a private message anymore. A way to stop this issue is by encrypting messages before the email gets to the server. With this kind of technological advancement, the idea of privacy does not have to be corrupt and it can actually become more accessible to users. I think Yen's ideas behind creating a new and private Internet are brilliant because everyone should want to live in a world where their content is for their eyes only and not for the government to see.

In Finn Lützow Holm Myrstad's Ted Talk entitled, "How Tech Companies Deceive You Into Giving Up Your Data and Privacy," he discusses the issue of privacy with a kid's doll called "Cayla." This doll has the capability of being hacked into by unnamed third party users, can record your child's every word, and can track locations and data with anyone with a smartphone within it's radius. Myrstad and his colleagues recognized that this was a severe privacy issue and helped shut down the sales of this doll in stores. Another issue that Myrstad and his colleagues tackled was the lengthiness of the terms and conditions listed before downloading apps on your cell phone. He makes a point that these terms and conditions should be shortened and simplified so that people would be more likely to read them and understand them when downloading apps on their phones. I agree with the statements he made regarding how technology can only get better if tech companies start to respect people's right of privacy.

As an avid technology and social media user, it is frightening to learn about all of the flaws related to privacy within the devices, their terms and conditions, and the way they are processed through the Internet. After watching these two videos, I know I am going to be even more cautious than before about what kinds of devices I purchase, what I'm allowing these devices to do, and how my information will be publicized online.

The Issues with Privacy

For this week's blog post, we were assigned to watch four different Ted Talk videos on the issues of privacy with technology and social media. I have learned over the years that technology is an incredible invention, until it is turned against us.

In the Ted Talk, "Your Online Life, Permanent as a Tattoo," Juan Enriquez discusses the permanence of real tattoos and how they correlate to our lives online. He describes an "electronic tattoo," which means that everything that someone posts online about themselves remains on the Internet forever. This also goes for facial recognition features and target advertising. It is interesting to describe social media as a tattoo because someone's profile can tell a lot about a person, similar to how a tattoo would on someone's body.

In "The Small and Surprisingly Dangerous Detail the Police Track About You" Ted Talk by Catherine  Crump, she elaborates on how the government is becoming too involved with our personal lives through location tracking and license plate readers. This information reveals where and when people go as well as who they are with at the time they are tracked. The federal government stores this information for "just in case" purposes, meaning that if someone were to eventually commit a crime, law enforcement has all the tracking information they need about that person before, during, and after the crime was committed. I believe that law enforcement having this kind of information can be very useful for those purposes, however I also think it is a major civil liberties threat to citizens. America is supposed to feel safe and secure according to the Constitution, so why is it okay that the government can track our every move?

In the Ted Talk, "How to Avoid Surveillance... With the Phone in Your Pocket," by Christopher Soghoian, he reveals that cell phones were originally wired for surveillance purposes before they were a common way of communication. Although tech companies have mostly out smarted wiretapping and have installed encryption pieces into their devices, this makes the government extremely angry since their citizens' information isn't as easily available. In my opinion, I feel much better about technology than I did before because I didn't realize how much more difficult it was for the government to tap into our information as it was before. Soghoian believes that we should continue to use text messaging, FaceTime, and calling on our phones because we are more protected than we think. Although this is reassuring, I will probably still continue to think about if the government is tracking my every move when on my cell phone.

In "How Revenge Porn Turns Lives Upside Down" by Darieth Chisolm, she explains her controlling and manipulative relationship with her ex-boyfriend and how he made her life miserable through cyberbullying, also known as "revenge porn." The major problem with revenge porn is the large amount of people that are affected by it every year and the lack of laws that prevent it from happening again. After listening to Chisolm's story, it made me so angry that she had to go through almost a full year of court dates, reliving the horror over and over again, all while still having her body exposed publicly online. Although justice was finally served, revenge porn still remains to be a problem today and I admire her bravery on sharing her story with the world.

After watching all of these Ted Talk videos on privacy, I am somehow both more scared yet more calm about technology. Although I know that technology and social media have the capability to be private, they are still very very public platforms for everyone to see. I think the biggest fear of them all is how long will privacy even be a thing anymore? How long will it be before technology completely takes over the world?

EOTO Presentation Review

I decided to write about Group 2's EOTO presentation about the mainstream media, whistleblowers, alternative media, citizen journalism, echo chambers, and reliable sources.

Image retrieved from ShellyPalmer.com

Mainstream media is every news outlet that is a current trend. This type of media can include newspapers and broadcast. For example, some of the most popular types of mainstream media are CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. The reason that these news outlets are mainstream is because people tend to rely on their information due to their popularity on TV, online, and through word of mouth.

A whistleblower is a federal employee who reports wrongdoings to better the system and has protections within the government, such as the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. However, a "whistleblower" is a federal employee who reports mismanagement for a political agenda that has no protections. The reason that a "whistleblower" has no protections is because they try to expose secretive information that is deemed illegal within a public or private organization. They have negative intentions when doing this and may tend to report illegal action that isn't even true.

Alternative media is media that differs from the mainstream. For example, www.truthdig.com is viewed as an alternative media site because it is a source, but it is not well-known or widely used by the public. This type of media tends to be viewed as fake news because of its lack of popularity and large use of opinion writing.

Citizen journalism is journalism that does not come from professional journalists, but citizens that get information from websites, blogs, and social media. An example of this is how people use Twitter. If someone were to be at a Black Lives Matter protest and got a video of protestors marching and yelling down the street, this person can tweet the video and caption it with their own opinion on the issue. This is beneficial for professional journalists because they have an opportunity to get more information on the protest from ordinary citizens. However, since it was tweeted by a citizen, they don't have to "get in trouble" if the information they say about the event is false.

An echo chamber is an environment in which a person is only surrounded by beliefs that agree with their own. Someone that is an echo chamber avoids trying to find out all the facts because they just want to find people that agree with them.

Lastly, reliable sources are sources that are trustworthy because they know the truth and have no motivation to lie about the topic. Examples of reliable news sources are the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times.

For most of these terms, I had heard of them before and had a fair idea about what each term meant. However, I got to learn about the difference in a whistleblower versus a "whistleblower" and what an echo chamber is from this presentation. I think it is interesting to see how the public views the media and how the media corresponds with the public within these different media spheres.

The Theory of Agenda Setting

Agenda setting is the creation of public awareness and concern of the most important issues by the news media.

Image retrieved from YouTube.

One of the positives that comes from the agenda setting theory is that it keeps journalists and society up to date on current news stories. However, one of the negatives is that the public may only be able to retain the most recent stories, not necessarily the most important ones. The audience will only be able to recall the most accessible memory in their heads, whether that be a news story on the president or what the most popular song is of the week. This theory doesn't tell the audience what to think, but what to think about.

Agenda setting affects society as a whole by putting an idea in people's heads of what the "most important" news story is, when in reality, it might just be the only story they remember. Through the public, media, and policy types of agenda setting, society's perceptions may be altered based on how journalists want to show the news.

One of the most prominent examples of agenda setting is the Super Bowl. Every year, it seems like that is all people talk about the week of the game. It is one of the most viewed events on television, but not everyone watching the game is even a sports fan. Most people that watch the Super Bowl are caught up in the moment, meaning that they feel as though "everyone is watching it," so they should too. Viewers are more inclined to watch the game because of how relevant it is in the media.

In my opinion, I could see how this theory might affect people of older generations versus younger generations. People of the older generation have more of an accurate perspective on what news is the most important because they have more life experience. The younger generation's opinions are more likely to be affected by agenda setting because they have less life experience and more exposure to the media in general.

The theory of agenda setting affects my life because I fall victim to reading and watching what news stories pop up first on my timeline and fail to read further down. I, as well as many others, do this because of my subconscious telling me that everything "below the line" isn't as important. Overall, agenda setting is important, but can also be dangerous within the media.

My Online Presence

After listening to the lecture in today's class and searching my name in Google, I can easily say that I am alarmed by all of the information that the Internet knows about me.

As someone who enjoys using social media and values technology, I have a fairly broad online presence. I have social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Spotify, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and VSCO that I use on a regular basis. As far as a personal website, I have an account on Adobe Portfolio that I use to display all of my work to send to companies when applying for internships and future careers.

On all of the social media sites that I use, I normally post pictures of my friends, family, and myself. I am very adamant about keeping my social media content "clean" on all platforms for the fear of future employers finding content that does not accurately display myself as a person or as a potential employee.

By searching my first and last name, someone can find my Facebook account the easiest. However, when searching my full name, Anna James Harris, people can find my Twitter, VSCO, Instagram, Pinterest, Spotify, and pictures of myself on Google Images because I use my full name as my username for almost all of my accounts. By clicking on any of these accounts, people could figure out where I'm from, where I go to school, what I look like, what kinds of music I listen to, etc.

As far as private information, I have given my email to most social media sites because almost all of them require an email when creating an account. I do not share my phone number to most accounts, but have it on some just because of security purposes. All of this information is shared for my viewing only, however, I know that the companies have access to it.

After looking at the questions on The Atlantic articles, I believe social media helps people feel a void of some sort. Whether that be loneliness, depression, low self confidence, etc., I believe that anyone can feel more "fulfilled" by numbers of followers or likes on a screen. However, just because one might have hundreds of followers or millions of likes, it does not mean that they feel "whole."

Personally, I believe that social media has its advantages and disadvantages. It helps people connect in a new way, it utilizes technological advancements, and it allows people to be creative through a different outlet. However, I think that social media can create a toxic environment for people in a social setting and it has the possibility of being extremely detrimental to one's wellbeing.

The Diffusion of Snapchat

Snapchat, one of the world's largest social media platforms, was created in the halls of Stanford University by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown in September of 2011. This multimedia messaging app is now worth around $15 billion and remains as one of the most popular social networking sites for the Millennials and Gen Z.

Image retrieved from Smart Insights.

To demonstrate the growth of Snapchat, it is best to refer to the Diffusion of Innovation Model.

Stage 1: Innovators
Brown mentioned to Spiegel how he wished that pictures he was sending to a girl would disappear, and thus, the idea of Snapchat was born. With the original name, "Picaboo," the app obtained about 127 users by the end of the summer of 2011.

Stage 2: Early Adopters
Due to an argument amongst the three friends, Spiegel and Murphy decided to continue the company without Brown. In September 2011, the two relaunched the app under the name, "Snapchat," increasing its popularity significantly within the next year. The app reached 100,000 users and investments from different companies.

Stage 3: Early & Late Majority
By May 2013, 150 million snaps were being sent per day by the app's users. Between December 2014 and August 2016, the app participated in active fundraising and had a significant increase in video views. Snapchat drastically improved with the addition of stickers, Chat 2.0, and new monetization strategies during this time as well.

Stage 4: Laggards
I believe that Snapchat is still in its Early & Late Majority Stage. However, the company has rebranded itself from "Snapchat Inc." to "Snap Inc." and introduced initial public offering. Although I don't believe that Snapchat is lagging, I could see the app starting to dissipate by the time my generation is in their late twenties or early thirties. With the invention of so many new social media apps and the way we have aged at that point in time, I think the new generations will begin to pick up on the newer apps and leave Snapchat behind.

Promoting Innovation

After reading over the eight values of free expression, I believe that the seventh value is the most important. The seventh value of free expression is to promote innovation. When promoting innovation, people are inspired to fulfill themselves in many diverse and interesting ways.

Image retrieved from Sloan Review.

In a society where free speech is valued, it's citizens are more likely to be creative and engaged in their interests. For example, as someone who aspires to have a career in the communications field, hopefully something in print journalism, I am trying to gain as much experience in college before it is time to apply for jobs post-grad.

Being surrounded by others who have a passion to pursue their goals makes myself even more inspired to succeed. I believe that the idea of promoting innovation is extremely powerful because it fosters the belief system that everyone can succeed in their own creative ways within society.

I also believe that the seventh value of free expression is slightly underrated. I think people take certain opportunities for granted. For example, someone who grows up in a family where both of their parents are bankers will be more inclined to become a banker when they get older. By settling with their family's roles, this individual holds back some of their creativity to pursue other careers. I believe that this individual should look at other career options before settling because they might discover other interests along the way that they might like better.

The value of promoting innovation is very inspiring, especially for college students. We are at a perfect time in our lives to explore the opportunities that the world provides. Promoting innovation and creativity will only better society because it will influence people to succeed and go their own path.

Matt Lauer’s Ongoing Controversy

Matt Lauer, former cohost of NBC's Today show, has really never left the news at all. In 2017, he was fired from the network for inappropriate sexual behavior and his wrongful actions are still occurring today.

Image retrieved from Hollywood Reporter.

In October 2019, a new book will be released  called, “Catch and Kill” that explicitly explains the sexual encounters between Lauer and an NBC employee. The details are beyond crude. Interestingly enough, former co-host, Katie Couric, has started writing a book about Lauer and the scandal as well. One source said the book will “paralyze him with fear.”

Lauer is reportedly hiding away from the public eye at his home in The Hamptons. His home reports to be on the market for $44 million. He purchased the 6+ acre compound with 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, two guest houses, pool, and waterfront from Richard Gere.

Aside from his luxury mansion, at one point in time Lauer said it was his ‘full time job’ to make things right. So what is he spending his time doing while he’s hiding away in this luxurious home? Dating a blonde in her 20's. It’s truly a mystery if Lauer will ever make his ‘full time job’ a reality.

The Evolution of Instagram

One of the world's most popular social media platforms, Instagram, has gone from a photo-sharing site to a company estimated to be worth more than $100 billion.

Image retrieved from The Outline.

After checking out the Evolution of Technology Timeline in Cottrell in my Media Law class, I decided to do my section of the technology group project on the Instagram app.

Instagram was invented by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in 2010 as a photo and video-sharing social networking device and it is now owned by Facebook Inc. The app allows users to upload their own photos and videos and use various filters, hashtags, and location information on every post.

The first photo posted on the app was of South Beach Harbor at Pier 38 on July 16, 2010 by Mike Krieger. Just a few months later, the app launched in the app store on October 6, 2010 for all iOS devices and expanded to Android phones in 2012.

By posting content on an Instagram profile, it adds to the user's personal feed and they are able to interact with others by liking and commenting on other posts. Other users can consist of people they follow and people they don't follow through the "Explore" page. Anyone can change their privacy settings to be either on public or private, so not everyone can see every post any user makes if they do not wish.

Since the app has hit the app store, it has added features such as Instagram stories, IGTV, and Instagram Direct. With these added features, it has only expanded Instagram's outreach and success.

Today, the company is expected to be worth over $100 billion and with the app's audience being mostly younger users, the company can only get bigger and better.

We Live in a Mad World

We live in a world centered around technology, wondering what the newest gadget is on the market, how we can get it, who else has it, etc. Although the advancement of technology has improved communication and media outlets, it has significantly deteriorated people's well-being.

Image retrieved from YouTube.

After watching the "Mad World Remix of Moby" video, it is evident that today's world is no longer viewed from the surface, but through posts and interactions on a screen. In the video, the main character is surrounded by people looking at their phones. He gets trampled over, is constantly ignored, and looks very upset that no one is paying attention to him.

The video demonstrates various trends within the media. The selfie, texting, people taking pictures of their food, and a demonstration of the popular dating app "Tinder." Other than the popular trends, the video shows a darker side to the media. One of the shots was of an unhealthy looking girl suddenly looking beautiful and healthy online and another was a woman getting injections to portray herself as someone that she's not to impress others. These shots portray a self image issue that is happening to many young girls in today's social media craze. Many people feel like they need to look a certain way to be well-liked by society or to get the most likes on social media. However, this is causing people, especially young girls, to be very self deprecating and reliant on their peers' opinions to feel wanted instead of having the self confidence to feel wanted by themselves.

Another issue this video highlights is cyberbullying. For example, the shot of the girl dancing that was posted all over social media. People were making fun of her and the harassment pushed herself to take her own life. This shows just how damaging the media can be. If someone is willing to end their life over comments made by others through the Internet, it proves how toxic technology and social media are.

Everyone is constantly behind their screens instead of paying attention to what is going on right in front of them. It is depressing to watch other's put themselves down due to the media and I hope we can all come to an agreement that technology is only good to a certain extent. We get so caught up with our own images and competing against one another that we fail to notice that the world is slowly turning into black and white.

Deadly Drone Strike in Afghanistan Lead From False Promises

In early September, a U.S. drone struck a pine nut harvesting area in Afghanistan, killing 30 civilians and injuring 40 others after a letter was sent guaranteeing the people that their toughest laboring season would improve.

Image retrieved from Reuters.

Right before the pine-nut harvest season started in Afghanistan, the governor of the country's eastern Nangarhar province received a letter guaranteeing the people that they were going to recruit 200 laborers and children to help them pluck the dry fruit during the harvest. This letter came from villagers in the Wazir Tangi area and the purpose of it was to help protect the laborers from getting caught in between U.S.-backed Afghan forces and Islamic State fighters controlled by the jihadists.

Hours after the laborers worked in the fields, a drone struck the site, ruining their days of work and killing and injuring plenty of civilians. This violence shocked the locals because of how confident they were in the promises proposed by the letter. They participated in protests, carrying dead bodies to the provincial capital, Jalalabad, the day following the attack in hopes of the U.S. regretting their actions.

Although this drone strike destroyed harvesting and killed innocent lives, that was not the initial intention of the strike by the United States. The U.S. had the intention of destroying the hideouts of Islamic State fighters, not ruining pine-nut harvesting season.

This attack has not only increased the number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan, but has only added to the number of air strikes that the country has suffered from in the past, according to the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.

Facebook Faces Antitrust Investigation

One of the world's most used social media accounts, Facebook, faces an antitrust investigation by attorney generals from eight states, including the District of Columbia, according to Attorney General Letitia James.

Image retrieved from CNN Business.

The beauty of Facebook is that anyone and everyone can use it for free. You are able to download the app, post pictures, interact with people, develop a following, and engage in other's lives all behind a phone screen. The negative side of this is that even though Facebook is a free platform, the users are technically paying the site with their private information. Facebook has the right to use anyone's personal information and do whatever they want with it. In my opinion, the fact that Facebook practically owns my private information is a very scary thought.

In the last few years, Facebook and other popular search engines and social media platforms have faced legal issues when it comes to their advertising and privacy policies. The main point of this investigation is to dive deep into Facebook's impact on advertising prices, data, and consumer policy.

The eight states that are fighting against Facebook are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee. The states have met with the Justice Department antitrust chief Makan Delrahim to discuss Big Tech in the beginning of this investigation. Other than Facebook, Google is receiving threats from the public on its privacy laws as well.

Many big tech companies are turning into monopolies instead of just staying as commonly used search engines or entertaining social media platforms. Time will tell what will happen to Facebook and other technology-based companies and how they will handle the antitrust investigations. With the opportunity to change its laws or risk big fines, Facebook users could go from friending each other to never using the site again.

Significance of the U.S. Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is the most powerful judicial body on Earth, having nine justices: one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. Every outcome in a Supreme Court case is based on the 200-year-old Constitution and is able to rule any case as unconstitutional or not with the power resting on public faith. The justices solve national problems and is deliberate about reaching their decisions in private.

Image retrieved from the Washington Post.

The Court receives about 7,000 cases a year, but only about 100 of them get accepted. Most of the cases are submitted as a writ of certiorari, a file that is asking the Court permission to overlook the case. Each case is heard in the public, with lawyers on each side of the case given 30 minutes to make their arguments before the Court. Every justice can ask questions during the oral argument, acting like a conversation. Arguing before nine justices is difficult because each one has their own ideas. The lawyer has to find a way to present their ideas to appeal to nine different people, who most likely have different perspectives on most topics. 

Once the argument is presented before the Court, the justices gather in a conference room to vote on the case. If the justices decide to take the case, one of the justices on the majority side has to write an opinion explaining the legal reasons for the decision. Other than the majority opinion, any justice can write a separate opinion, either dissenting or concurring with the result. All of the opinion drafts are sent to all nine justices and revised for up to months at a time. Eventually, the revised opinions are sent to the press to notify the public of the action that has taken place. 

Overall, the Supreme Court plays a very significant role in the judicial system today. The workings of the Court have impacted history and will remain essential for the justice system in the future.

Mastering the Art of Conversation and Why It Will Change Your Life

Imagine your sitting in a job interview and your new boss starts to have a conversation with you after the interview is over. Would you know how to talk? Would you maintain your professionalism? Would your responses be memorable?

People all across the world struggle with understanding the impact of conversation. Whether you are in the workplace, school, or even online, communication is everywhere. If failing to follow the proper procedures in conversation, it could make or break a business deal, result in an argument, end up in extremely awkward silence, etc. Here are some ways that everyone, even communication experts, can benefit from mastering the art of conversation.

Image retrieved from Getty Images.

1. Know Your Audience
In order to treat the person you are speaking to effectively and efficiently, you must get to know them. It is much easier to speak to someone once you know a few basic facts about them, cultural norms, and what they expect from you as a friend or colleague. You must give respect in order to receive respect.

2. Practice Nonverbal Communication
Majority of what someone says is interpreted through their physical cues, not through words. Crossing your arms, rolling your eyes, looking bored, slouching, all contribute to poor communication. Would you ever hire someone that seemed uninterested during the entire interview? Practice maintaining eye contact, smiling, and good posture the next time you are talking to someone.

3. Ask for Honest Feedback
Recite and answer interview questions, practice presenting in front of your friends, pretend like you are doing the real deal. Ask your friends, family, and strangers their honest opinion. Getting constructive criticism will only help you improve having conversation in your day to day life.

4. Be a Listener
In order to speak correctly, you need to listen correctly. A conversation will go no where if all you did was listen to yourself talk. You need to understand the other person's point of view, problems, and ideas. Being a good listener will result in stronger relationships as well.

5. Be Memorable
Talk to people in meaningful ways. Be passionate about the topic, idea, or product you are trying to pitch. When you want to talk to someone, show that you are making them a priority in your life. Practicing this skill will leave people coming back to you and will only make you a stronger communicator.


Mastering these steps will result in clear and effective communication. Explicit communication only makes strong communicators. The next time your new boss starts a conversation with you, understand what he's saying, practice nonverbal skills, listen, and make it memorable. Go after a good conversation like a million dollars. It may sound hard, but you could make millions overnight.
