@_rebeccageiger I see this tool being useful and beneficial when looking for a specific tweet. But I can also see this being weaponized to dig up dirt on others and get them “canceled”.
“It helps with memory creation, nostalgia, and romanticizing your life which is one of the dopest things you can do to enjoy your time on earth," added Williams. #csulbsmc https://t.co/zwqfuEan84
@jackierausa This is so sad and I’m glad that this case is being talked about in the media. A teenage, and a disabled one at that shouldn’t be in prison for voicing their opinions.
@juuliaxmorales I have mixed feelings about this, on one hand it feels invasive and on the other hand I can see how it can be beneficial in things like preventing the sale of alcohol to those underage.
@jen_journals I agree with what Kelsey was saying. Open communication is so important for social media safety among young users. I think having some parental controls will help start that conversation.
@Kmartinez0132 I totally agree with this quote. Platforms should not be targeting kids. They need to put the wellbeing of youth (especially mental health) above their desire to grow the billion-dollar platfom.
@kelseystubbs44 Just changing the name doesn't change the appeal of the app. Facebook would have to change aspects of the app itself, but I don't think there is anything Facebook could do to interest younger audiences. A huge drawback to Facebook is that it is used by older generations.
@BryJour You'd think Facebook would do a better job at putting an end to scams like this one and wouldn't approve such drastic changes to billing thresholds so quickly.
"TikTok is testing a new in-app tipping feature on its platform that would allow creators to accept money from fans" Additionally, "the money received by creators will go directly to them, and... TikTok will not be taking a cut." #csulbsmc https://t.co/CFyWKjb9kI
@CrisSerr3 I'm not an influencer, but I imagine these new tools are super useful and beneficial. I really like the feature where messages from brands get priority placement so micro-influencers don't miss out on opportunities.
@_rebeccageiger This social media platform sounds really interesting, but I think other platforms have good reasons for requiring you to be 13 to have an account. Introducing kids to social media even though there are a lot of protections in place on Grom is still potentially dangerous.
@kelseystubbs44 It makes sense that neg. content receives more engagement than pos. content bc it gets people to react. People use Twitter more organically than other platforms bc they aren't afraid to voice their opinions, so I don't think warning people before they post rude content will work.
@BryJour I found Boue's quote about not wanting to be publically perceived and that the idea of it being a lot shinner than the reality to be really interesting. I feel like it relates to both activists and influencers who have to navigate questions from the community.
“You see a post of ours, hit follow, and then forget until you see us again on your feed, but how many people do you follow? How long until you see us again?” Activists not only struggle with engagement but with turning engagement into action. #csulbsmc https://t.co/bMfKGj1gfk
@kelseystubbs44 I've never heard of this platform before but it sounds really cool. I like that it encourages a healthy line of communication, maintains privacy and that the application process keeps imposters off the network.
@jen_journals "WhatsApp is raising the bar, and Apple and others should follow suit.” It sounds like a nice feature to have. My storage is always full too so being able to save and encrypt messages to the cloud may be useful.
@CrisSerr3 Social media allows for challenges to spread and gain popularity yet when the schools in the article told their students to knock it off and stop the harmful challenges, they did which shows social awareness and respect.
