@brody_rosas I will continue to use it because its a very fun app but ever since Elon has become in charge I started using it less. It doesn't really feel the same.

The way Twitter is looking with Elon Musk in charge, I would not mind a new wave of fun social media apps. I love watching Adin Ross and Kai Cenat now on Twitch. Have you guys started trying new social media apps now that many are changing? #BeachSMC

Now that anyone can become verified on Twitter by paying $8, it allows many people to act like someone they're not which is very dangerous. I have already fallen for fake sports announcements from fake verified sports pages and I hate it. #BeachSMC

@gxbriellev I honestly didn't think Kanye would lose so many partnerships from his anti-semitic comments. I personally thought it would be brushed away like most of his crazy statements.

I also see many tiktok's on my "For You Page" that are about other peoples tragedies that are very sad. I question if many other users see the same, could this lead to many mental health issues for TikTok users that can't escape the sadness. #BeachSMC

After firing at least four of Twitter's top executives, how much of a change is Twitter going to receive with a new "Chief" in charge. #BeachSMC

@HeidornAntonia I agree, although Facebook is getting this new update to help them grow to the younger audience I believe it's too late for them now that there's apps such as TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter. #BeachSMC

Elon Musk would like to continue with his deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. After walking away from this deal in early July, he now wants to come back to it. This has sparked many questions if Elon Musk is the right person to own Twitter? #BeachSMC

Another day, another Kanye West controversy. After tweeting an anti-Jewish stereotype, Twitter has locked Kanye's Twitter account. Is it time for Twitter and Instagram to ban Kanye West off their apps? #BeachSMC

@AdamCamarena I definitely agree Twitter needs to step up there protection big time. The fact that most twitter employees can have our exact location at all times doesn't sit with me right. I really hope this investigation doesn't get thrown behind the bush and disappears.

Is this invasion of privacy or a good way to stop censored content from spreading? In my personal opinion I believe its invasion of privacy since Chinese authorities have tracked down residents by using these hidden watermarks. What do you think? #BeachSMC

As we can see from Queen Elizabeths death, it is very easy for news media journalist to view how celebrities and brands felt on the passing of the Queen just by checking on social media instead of having to do an interview with the person/brand. #BeachSMC

@OrangeQuinn29 I agree. I don't see any huge benefits for Twitter to add an edit button, not only do you have to pay to use it, I believe many people are going to misuse it by editing old tweets or even new tweets that may have been bad remarks.

Sportsbooks are investing more and more into social media companies such as Penn Entertainment purchasing %50 of Barstool Sports for $325 million, to help promote their sportsbooks to gain more loyal and passionate sports bettors.#BeachSMC

Google and YouTube are outlining plans to handle the 2022 U.S midterm elections to limit the spread of political misinformation. This is always a reminder to get your news from verified sources because of how easy it is to get false information.#BeachSMC
