Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Twitter, podcasts, and wikis are all examples of Web 2.0 technologies, which prioritize user-generated content and collaboration.

B, C, and D are incorrect. Consumers today are no longer passive, as the rise of social media and user-generated content has given them a greater voice and ability to participate. The Internet does have some gatekeepers (such as search algorithms and social media algorithms), but there is still a vast amount of content available without being filtered. Finally, not everything posted online is fact-checked, and there are still risks and dangers for companies who engage with social media and online content.
