Question

In a thesis for the MIT Media Lab titled “Faceted Id/entity”, this thinker inadvertently popularized the sociological term “context collapse.” Along with Kate Crawford, this thinker argued that differences in accessibility to big data will create digital divides, a point that serves as one of their “Six Provocations for Big Data.” In one of her books, this (-5[1])thinker drew upon the concept of homophily to explain how Facebook's success was partially due to a “white flight” from MySpace, which some people perceived as “ghetto.” This thinker, who maintains a blog called “apophenia”, attempted to debunk overblown myths about the negative effects of social media usage in her book It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens. For 10 points, name this queer technology scholar at Microsoft Research who stylizes her name in all (*) lowercase. ■END■ (10[2])
