There are two potential tracks for the final project. The final project should be between 3000 and 4000 words in length. It is recommended that the literature review and the final project are written on the same topic, but it is not necessary. Each student will choose one of the week’s online abuses from Week 5 (Content Moderation) to Week 12 (Authenticity, Identity, and Platform Manipulation) to write one of the following:
(1) Policy Memo: This paper should outline the difficulties with dealing with this area of online abuse/threats, current solutions used in the field and then provide a novel recommendation for how to address this online abuse/threat. It can be a very specific recommendation or general, but it must show a detailed understanding of online abuse/security threat and a viable solution to solving it. It should answer four different questions: (1) What is the negative consequences of this online abuse? (Why should we care?) ; (2) What are the current policies designed to handle it? ; (3) Why do these policies struggle to address this problem area? ; (4) What is your solution? How would it solve this problem?
