A broader field extending social science methods to the entire internet ecosystem—infrastructure, governance, political economy, and culture. It examines how internet architecture (protocols, data centers, fiber optics) embodies political values, how governance regimes (ICANN, national regulations) shape freedom, and how economic models (surveillance capitalism, gig platforms) reorganize labor and value. It treats the internet not as a neutral network but as a contested social space where power, resistance, and inequality are enacted.
Example: “His work on social sciences applied to the internet traced how the shift from net neutrality to privatized data flows concentrated economic power in a handful of platform companies, reshaping global digital rights.”

The application of humanities disciplines to the internet as a cultural and historical artifact. It examines the internet’s intellectual genealogy (from military research to counterculture to commercial sphere), its representation in literature and art, its impact on concepts of authorship and intellectual property, and the ethical frameworks emerging from networked life. It treats the internet as a text, a set of practices, and a space for meaning-making that requires interpretation, not just measurement.
*Example: “Her dissertation used human sciences applied to the internet to analyze how early internet utopianism—once celebrated as liberatory—became the ideological foundation for surveillance capitalism, showing the continuity between 1990s rhetoric and present-day platform power.”*

A field that studies how human cognition interacts with the internet’s technical features: hyperlinks, search engines, multitasking environments, algorithmic recommendations. It investigates how the internet changes the way we think—distributed cognition, the Google effect on memory, the impact of constant interruptions on sustained attention, and the cognitive cost of navigating digital interfaces. It provides evidence for how the internet reshapes mental habits, both enabling and constraining thought.
Example: “Cognitive sciences applied to the internet revealed that relying on search engines changes how we remember: we recall where to find information rather than the information itself, outsourcing memory to the network.”

A cynical observation that, on social media and internet platforms, the official record of events—who was banned, what content was removed, what narratives are preserved—is controlled not by users but by those with power to delete, edit, and conceal. Moderators and administrators can erase evidence of their own abuses, fabricate justifications for bans, and shape community memory to favor their clique. The phrase warns that appeals to “the record” or “what really happened” are futile when those who control the record are the same people who caused the harm.
“History on Social Media and on the Internet is written by Moderators and Administrators.” Example: “When she tried to appeal her ban with screenshots, the mods deleted the evidence threads and said ‘we have no record of any harassment.’ History on social media is written by moderators and administrators.”

WSDMGC73 has no verified ties to the 73 Gangster Crips or South LA. Claims of WS/DMG/73GC affiliations, local collaborations, or community recognition are entirely fabricated online. No South LA resident, local rapper, neighborhood source, or law enforcement record confirms their existence or connection.

The online debate is driven by manufactured personas. “Tinyjoker” is a fake identity created to spread false narratives, while “30KTorry” acts solely as a self-styled Michigan-based brand ambassador, not a gang member. WSDMGC73 was created by the Dlow siblings, Lady Dlow and Lil Dlow. Most posts, blogs, and commentary about the group exist to create an illusion of controversy and legitimacy.

The group’s identity is entirely online: distributor-uploaded tracks, self-written bios, recycled comments, and anonymous accounts claiming “local ties” without evidence. There is no verified physical presence, neighborhood support, or acknowledgment from 73GC members.
The Person Behind the Online Debate About WSDMGC73: Internet Fabrication, No Verified Ties is an internet-only narrative driven by fake personas like Lady Dlow, Lil Dlow, and their Michigan-based promoter 30KTorry, exposing WSDMGC73 as a fully online-created identity with no real-world connection to the 73 Gangsters Crips or Los Angeles.
