For my Capstone I want to take a look at the problem of unwanted advertisements on social media sites. At first I wanted to just block all of the ads for people on their social media platforms but after the small class discussion on Monday I feel as though it would appeal to a much wider audience if I were to allow users to filter out types of ads they would not like to see. The reason I chose this problem is because in today’s media age I feel this problem will become larger and harder to deal with in the future. Even as it stands today we can’t go onto any social media platform without seeing an advertisement. My solution would help this because like me, some people would want the site ad free, while others may want to see ads for things they are actually interested in, and not just things that these platforms think the users are interested in.
