EDITORIAL COLUMN Don’t trust online quotes

LEXI DONNEL Reporter

Whatever happened to skepticism when it comes to the Internet? Growing up, many of us heard from our parents and other adults in our lives, “Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.” Yet when the topic of politics is involved, these same people who told us this are the ones sharing fake quotes and stories. “If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie, and they’d still eat it up. I my numbers would be terrific.” — Donald Trump, People Magazine, 1998. This quote made its rounds on Facebook during and even after the 2016 election. It was shared by those who dislike Trump as a way to say, Rewon Shimray | Cartoonist “See, I told you!” to his supporters. Unfortunately for those who want this to be true, Trump never said this. One of my friends on Facebook shared this quote, and when I sent her proof that it was fake, she responded Evolve, Instagram with, “Well, it is something he would say.” This mindset is wrong. Spreading fake quotes whether or not it sounds like something the person would say makes you look Develop features average users request gullible as well as misleads those who believe you. It also makes whichever political side you are on look desperate When you think back on your earliest birthday parties, conversation rather than having to follow a new account.

If we can might have used e-cards to invite your closest middle school when considering features and upgrades to stay relevant in the ban handguns, we will do it.” — Hillary Clinton, Register, friends to your super cool sleepover party. Around high school, ever-changing social media environment. Aug. 8, 2015. A look at the Register’s archives shows that when Facebook was all the rage, Facebook Events provided an The lack of an events planning feature is just another in a Clinton was not directly quoted nor interviewed on that easy, one stop-shop for all your invitation and event planning series of Instagram’s tendency to ignore the requests of users. date. needs. As Facebook grows increasingly obsolete as a social Instead of focusing on the needs of everyday users, Instagram When I saw this quote, I thought to myself, “Even if she network for our generation, Instagram should create an event has the tendency to prioritize development of features that believes this, she would not say it publicly.” Others seemed page feature as the next step in the evolution of invitations. benefit commercial users. For example, almost nine years after to have a knee-jerk reaction; seeing a scary quote from Since many of us only use Facebook to sell last semester’s Instagram’s creation, users still lack the ability to include direct a person they dislike makes them share this with their textbooks on Free and For Sale, it’s likely that we will forget to links in the comments of a post. With all the advancements in friends to show how tyrannical they believe she is. respond to Facebook Events. As it stands, Facebook Events are the technology, there is something archaic about writing “link in If something sounds too good or bad to be true, it is most convenient way to plan parties and invite friends to attend bio” in the year 2019. Of course, this feature has been extended probably fake. I was on Facebook when I saw the headline get-togethers. A lot of people our age, however, rarely check to businesses where users can click “shop now” or “learn more” “Mike Pence: ‘Allowing Rape Victims To Have Abortions Facebook notifications and may miss out on a fun opportunity. to be redirected to a website, but this feature should be extended Will Lead To Women Trying To Get Raped,’” by Politicot. Because of this, Facebook Events are becoming less convenient to average, noncommercial users as well. While other new com. The Facebook post has since been taken down, but at since event creators have to text invitees individually to remind Instagram features like sharing a story someone tagged you in the time it was being seen and shared by many. them of the upcoming festivities if they don’t respond to the event on your own story can be fun, Instagram still has other issues to page request. work out in the interest of the majority of users. Although Facebook has become a place for hyper-political Instead of listening to the cries of its average users, Instagram aunts to post rants or random people you went to high school with has focused on developing features that seem arbitrary and sending you requests to like their small business page, Instagram unnecessary like Instagram TV (IGTV) which again is mostly — for the time being — remains alive and well among our peers. useful for people utilizing Instagram for profit. Another example In fact, even though Instagram has not yet created a way to make is Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recently announced plan to If something sounds event pages on the social media platform, some users have taken integrate the messaging functions of WhatsApp, Instagram and “ matters into their own hands. Instagram users will sometimes Facebook Messenger. too good or bad to create entirely new accounts just for an event, request all the Instagram has grown a lot in the past nine years, implementing invitees to follow the page, and then share information about the new features like saving posts, a messaging platform, Instagram be true, it is probably event in a series of posts. This method, however, is susceptible to Stories and more. But if Instagram wants to maintain the fidelity some of the same pitfalls as Facebook Events; invitees could easily of our generation, it needs to respond to the services we actually fake.” forget to respond to the follow request or not recognize that the want. When there’s a party to be held, Instagram should be in on Instagram page seeks to serve as an event page. the action with an event planning function for all our celebration Instagram should implement a feature similar to Facebook needs. When I looked at the comments, I was shocked to see Events where invitees will be automatically included in the grown adults who believed this story was true. There were many comments saying they cannot believe that people would vote for him, how he is a horrible human and others saying they knew he hated women. If these people COLUMN just pressed the about button on the Facebook page they were commenting on, they would have seen the page was “news/satire.” My last example is a video that someone who is close to Political difference is OK in friendships me shared on Facebook.

The Lady Bears advanced to 23-1 on the season after defeating Oklahoma 87-53 on Saturday night at the Ferrell Center thanks to a near triple-double by junior forward Lauren Cox and a season-high 24 points from senior guard Chloe Jackson. With the help of early fouls from Oklahoma and Baylor’s defense coming up with four blocks and seven rebounds, the Lady Bears got the lead early, ending the first quarter 20-8. Oklahoma’s offense struggled, starting the game 2-for-15 on field goals, and couldn’t produce any points during the last three minutes of the first quarter.

BEN EVERETT Sports Editor

Baylor men’s basketball hits the road to face No. 19-ranked Iowa State at 8 p.m. tonight in Ames, Iowa. The Bears are looking for the season sweep of the Cyclones after defeating them 73-70 on Jan. 8 at the Ferrell Center.

Mason has missed two of the last three games with a toe injury and McClure has missed the last three contests as he deals with a knee injury.

Without Mason and McClure, Baylor committed 19 turnovers, just one shy of a season-high. Freshman point guard Jared Butler said he puts the blame on himself as the starting point guard. “Being a point guard, I take it personally,” Butler said. “When [Mason and McClure] do go out, I want it to be like there’s no let off. It’s weird when Makai plays and we win and then when I play we lose. It’s hard on me.” Going into the matchup against the red-hot Cyclones, sophomore forward Mark Vital said he would like the team to come out with more energy and intensity on the road, especially since the Bears might be without two key players.
