@AureliusKheila I agree! I feel like social media users forget we have the report button. Instead they share maybe a screenshot of the hate speech and say "this is wrong!" This helps, but it also gives people the opportunity to agree with it. Everyone should report it to silence the hate speech

@GeorgeC11822724 100%! I know a lot of people creating private finsta accounts right now and they post absolutely anything on them. They think that because their account is private that no one can see their posts. I'm sure there are people out there that can gain access to view private accounts

@AnthonyLicursi2 I agree. Even if fans didn't agree with the message and just liked the sound of the music, the lyrics are still hate speech, so we can criticize black metal music for that.

@mika77776564 The idea of making money from posting YouTube videos or ads on Instagram seem cool. The way they get paid is probably legit (safe), but not reliable. If you lose followers, you're done. What's unsafe is that viewers take in a lot of lies from promos/ads from influencers

@Philippedrapea1 It's not even just the time you spend on it, I find the negativity on social media can consume you as well! I could never completely delete my accounts, but cutting down on the hours per day is already helpful

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@Natasha58168175 Perfectly said! People that spread hate speech are simply arrogant and think that their way is the best way

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@NicolaiMiranda Yes! Which is why we need to monitor what the young are exposed to on the internet. They can't always tell right from wrong, so we'll have to explicitly tell it to them.

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@smccull44729529 I agree! I've become much more aware and careful of what I post online. Sometimes what we think is a simple, innocent post can turn into something bigger

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@EderyNaomi Agreed! I don't even think there's some formula to going viral. I feel like most things go viral by accident

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

In my opinion, listening to heavy metal, which contains racist lyrics, makes the racism in people come out. If you're constantly hearing racist things, soon enough you'll start agreeing with it and repeating it #lesson13

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

Teachers should be heavily encouraged to learn more about digital code so they can educate their students on it as well. #lesson13

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

I think what makes things go viral is a never-ending chain of "can you believe this?" Whether it be something good or bad, people keep sharing it, showing their friends and asking "can you believe this?!" #lesson13

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

Vivek said at one point to judge the content separately from the person that created it. I agree because you cannot judge a person entirely on one thing they have posted on social media. #lesson13

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

I agree with Jihan when she said digital learning is more of a process, not a product. This is entirely true because the digital world is constantly evolving so will never reach a point where we know everything about it #lesson13

@marinad307 I definitely plan on doing this with my future kids! There are just too many dangerous unknowns online that kids have easy access to. I'm also considering watching Disney movies with them and literally telling them the moral of the story and what to not copy from it.

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@BiancaLaplante I don't at all think it's "pushing sexuality." It would be an innocent portrayal of a couple, just like how they present hetero couples. If anything it's educating them. Kids have innocent minds so they'd see LGBTQA+ couples as equal to hetero couples, as they should be.

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@BiancaLaplante It honestly never occurred to me that Disney did it for kids to internalize. I thought they planted messages for the parents who are watching with their kids to be equally as entertained while watching the movie.

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@AnthonyGuirgui3 This is a real concern because there are kids in my family that love Disney movies, and 4 year-olds that know how to use YouTube on their iPads.

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@SamanthaAyoub4 Agreed! I think there should be more focus on life lessons, and less on romantic relationships.

[Maria Bermillo @BermilloMaria]

@GeorgeC11822724 Yup! Before watching this video, I only really associated Disney with its classic and new movies, and Disney Land, but this video showed me that they own so many more companies than we knew.
