Instagram is actively trying to protect their young users with its campaign to “fight sexual scams and other forms of “image abuse,” and to make it tougher for criminals to contact teens”.

As TikTok grows into a major social media platform covering various topics, it's crucial for them to update their code of conduct to address creators who break community guidelines. For example with "Warnings and Strikes" #BeachSMC

@jenaviegomezz I agree with the article when it says“that social media platforms are built for adults and are not inherently suitable for youth”. Anxiety and depression rates are rising due to the addictive habits our young children are developing from excessive use of social media.

Parents fought for child restrictions, but aren't using them. “Online child safety shows staggeringly low rates of adoption of platform-provided tools for parents to monitor their children’s social media activity.” https://t.co/1ByOXhEqCm

@Marcaaayyy It's sad to hear that once you are in the public eye your privacy disappears. However, I think the media was more worried about if she was okay than just looking for gossip.

Tiktok stands out as the sole platform where creators can reach a very large audience. Tiktok brings communities together and for some, Tiktok is their only income. The VP agrees, “it has become an income stream for many people”. #BeachSMC

These subscriber only features on Tiktok Live will help creators make more money and filter out non paying viewers. Tiktok is also encouraging creators to post longer videos for better pay. However, research shows, people like shorter form content.

On Social Media, AI-generated disinformation and misinformation is flooding at a rate never before witnessed. Deep fake misinformation “has been rising by an average of 130% per month on X (formerly Twitter) over the past year.” #BeachSMC https://t.co/t7GbsOTTGi

@VGCommStudies Social Media is a great way for small businesses to reach a bigger audience because of how accessible it is. However, I do agree that small businesses should create websites and have a back up plan. #BeachSMC #SMCbeach

We need to be careful regarding who receives a blue check mark and the criteria used for their verification instead of a paid verification plan. On the internet, that check mark holds power and could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Statistics show that social media users prefer the fast-short-form video content on TikTok rather than long detailed Youtube videos. The Pew Research Center’s latest report shows the proportion of adults who use TikTok went up by 33% last year.#BeachSMC

@femb0nez I agree, unfortunately the female body has been over sexualized in our society especially with the growth of social media. I applaud the people that are bringing this conversation up.

[Alyssa Curiel @Alyssa1Curiel]

@tricvu I completely agree. We need to protect our children from predators on social media and make the CEOs accountable.

Rich politicians are now swaying the public's vote through social media. This can include misinformation of their appointment with deep fakes. Always be careful on the internet because you never know what is real or fake. #SMCBeach

I find it fascinating that the percentage of adults who say they get their news through Tiktok has quadrupled since 2020. Due to easy access and the short video straight-to-the-point template I also find myself getting the news on Tiktok. #SMCBeach
