haha seriously? Turnitin violating privacy concerns? Just say you're going to be copying other people don't fucking pretend it's violating your privacy or whatever.
I think you all think people give way bigger of a shit than they actually do about whatever stupid shit you're interested in,unless you're actively trying to join ISIS.
I find it easy more hilarious that you think Facebook is somehow better about not giving out your personal info when it listens to your phone microphone to target ads to you better.
Frankly, I don't know nor care what reasons Relic has for choosing twitter. But, these are the rules before us, and whining about what a shitty decision that is for bullshit reasons like "it's too much effort" makes you sound almost exactly like my grandmother trying to turn on a computer for the first time.
You can voice reasonable concerns without sounding like the world's orbit should revolve around you instead of the sun. It's how I feel regarding balance complaints, and it's how I feel here as well.
Way to jump to conclusions that I cheat in school. My work is still submitted on turnitin, just under a pseudonym that the professor knows.
Direct quote from my uni:
"EMAIL TO FACULTY:
You are receiving this email because you have used Turnitin in your classes during the last academic year, either through WebCT Vista or directly through the Turnitin website.
I am following up on information which you received regarding Turnitin in late April. As you may recall, we discovered that Turnitin was storing personal information (first name, last name, email address) of our students in the United States. As this contravenes the BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, we disabled the connection through WebCT Vista and asked Turnitin to alter the consent form appropriately."
"Students will need to create an account on the Turnitin website. During the registration process, they will be asked to provide formal consent to the storage of their personal information in the US.
Please advise students to use an alias (you may wish to ask students to use the first 5 digits of their student number) to create a Turnitin account if they are concerned about having information stored in the US. If they choose this option, they will have to let you know what alias they are using."
So, wow, go figure, big universities can acknowledge that not everyone wants to have every single American company have all of their info when it isn't necessary.
And its great to assume that I'm ignorant to Facebook doing the same shit; I'm well aware of it. Frankly, I have too many people I want to keep in touch with on there that I've already accepted that they have all this info on me.
But its alright I guess, I'm just a young grandma that doesn't want to get twitter. Guess I'm out of touch
