First, pick a social media platform (preferably one you use and enjoy) and tell your group members which one
you've selected. After you've done that, go find that platform's terms of service, end-user license agreement,
legal agreement, or licensing agreement (sometimes this is linked under a section simply referred to as
"legal"). Take a quick read over this information (you don't have to read the entire document). If you use the
the platform, you have agreed to these terms.
Second, find something in the terms that you find surprising, concerning, or confusing and share it with some
description of your reaction to your group. Ask others if they had similar or different reactions and engage with
what others have found. Consider this week's lectures and readings and connect your reactions to what you
learned from the platform's policies. Finally, make sure to post a link to the policies so others can click through
to them.
