“…We gain a few insights through this kind of analysis of online communities and memes in general. First, we are able to better see how algorithms sort content, and how rhetors could perhaps learn to (ethically) leverage these kinds of systems for rhetorical ends (Brock & Shepherd, 2016). Second, researchers (especially students) are better positioned to critique the systems that moderate/mediate online discourse (Beck, 2015;Noble, 2018;Reilly, 2020Reilly, , 2021Selber, 2004;Toscano, 2011;) and perhaps even acknowledge our own complicity/participations within these systems.…”

“…In particular, in the examination of factors that infl uence or affect the dynamics of rhetorical action, it is essential to acknowledge the agency of both human and non-human actors. This characterization is true not only of tangible objects (Herndl 2012;Johnson 1988 2 ;Latour 2005), but also of digital actors (Beck 2015;Brock and Shepherd 2016;Edwards and Lang 2018), and socio-cultural power hierarchies (Agboka 2014;Haas 2012;Mohanty 2003;Shelton 2019, among many others). Moreover, in New Materialist approaches this agency is considered not to be an innate or isolated characteristic of these entities, but rather emergent from networks or systems of connected entities acting together (Barad 2007;Edbauer Rice 2005;Gries 2015) Rhetorics of place tend to emphasize the rhetorical agency of geographic locations in relation to the cultural associations that various groups have with those locations.…”

“…Among the myriad examples of digital fiascos and post hoc revelations about their subjects' limitations include the Nikon camera software that told Asian users they were blinking in photos (Rose 2010), with the software allegedly not taking into account different ethnicities' facial structures. In another example, Facebook's "graph search" technology enabled users to conduct potentially disturbing surveillance of their neighbors, such as combining searches for "married people" with those users who liked "prostitutes" and providing searchers with the ability to contact those users' spouses (Brock and Shepherd 2016). "Tay," a Twitter bot developed by Microsoft, shortly after its activation began to post racist content to other users of the platform.…”
