New & Digital Media: Week 8 / Week 3 IN&DM

http://www.joeybarton.com/censoring-twitter-completely-contradict-cause/ - Censoring Twitter would completely contradict its cause 

The football game between Liverpool and Aston Villa created much controversy surrounding the controversially known Liverpool football player Luis Suarez, who has known to be racist and has been called a cheat on many occasions, Stan Collymore took to Twitter to put across his views and the ex-Liverpool man called Suarez a cheat and ridiculed him for diving, although not many pundits agreed with Collymore, and he was met with racial abuse by many football fans (mainly Liverpool).  This led to Collymore deactivating his Twitter account. The controversial Joey Barton, in a blogspot talking about the racial abuse which was towards Collymore and how The Sun was a catalyst for the abuse regarding Collymore and Barton spoke about the highly known debate of Twitter Censorship and said that censoring Twitter with contradict its causes. It would make it more as a communistic social networking site where one would not be able to get his points across without being censored. 

In my opinion, I believe that censoring Twitter would make it pointless, people take to Twitter to get there points across and get seen, there still is ways to report people on Twitter but this should be improved, when one is reported there account so automatically be monitored and suspended pending investigation, this could make Twitter better without  censoring and always having peoples Twitters viewed 

Google wants an Andorid in every Audi and Honda.

Google want to place an android device in every Audi and Honda, thus making people able to so stuff in there cars as they can on phones, users will be able to access emails, internet, apps and music held on their handsets, Google's new idea seems profitable in the way that not only would profits be coming in from Audi & Honda, but people would also have to buy an android to use it in their cars therefore making money, apple have however asked the Car Giants BMW, Mercedes and Honda too to create a device which lets them access there phones through their car so competition will be expected again very soon.

In my opinion, drivers have already been banned from using anything that really distracts them while driving, due to this a driver is unable to use there phone will driving to decrease risk, and many rules have been put into place to stop people getting distracted while driving, and this should carry on, Phone giants such as Andorid and Apple should not be looking to try and go backwards by installing a phone in a car which allows people to access internet and emails, this could be more distracting than actually using a phone due to the screen on the dashboard obviously being bigger, it although does have it's benefits, being able to access emails and internet on a dashboard in your car would be a great thing but could alternatively cause distractions
