From the article, the main point is how to retain the ownership of our intellectual property.
I personally have two opinions about google’s understanding of me. First, for the advantages, I think this is a good way to understand. it also can save me a lot of time. For example, youtube video on google, I am a sports enthusiast, I always like to watch a variety of sports videos. For example, NBA, and I always have a lot of NBA video recommendations every time when I log in to youtube. This saves me a lot of troubles in finding videos and brings me a lot of convenience. it makes me more relaxed and happy. On the other hand, for the shortcomings, this is a bad information disclosure. Because the staff of these websites can find out your personal preferences based on your browsing history. Then there will be some harassment or sales calls. Sometimes it is not a good thing to know someone else’s personal privacy. For instance a man like to show to the outside is a tall and mighty image, but in the back he is a weak person. So once the information on the website he look though has been public. his inner weakness will be made public. It will cause his resentment.
In addition, I agree that public student privacy informations will make students fall into danger. Because for international students, many students who were first year study broad have a lot of things are ambiguous. For example, renting a house, transportation, bank cards, etc. In this situation, leaking a lot of student information can put students in danger.
As mentioned in the video, a website worker can find their customers’ itinerary and spending in recent days from their own channels. Even a request for a pizza with two layers of meat outside will be recorded. Such information disclosure can be very unsafe.
So I agree that Sean and Jesse’s point that plagiarism detection software is not functioning as a detect machine.
