@ttrancsulb It's interesting to read about social media's effect on Gen Z specifically. In addition to mental health, I just read that Gen Z is more likely to go into debt because of social media. It seems that this generation is being affected in more ways than one. #BeachSMC

It's concerning that Gen Z is more likely to go into debt because of social media and influencer marketing. There have been discussions about how TikTok promotes overconsumption so it's interesting to learn that it also promotes overspending. #BeachSMC

I found this story fascinating because I don't think it ever occurred to the prospective jurors that their social media posts would be read in court of a high-profile case. It's another example of how social media posts can follow you anywhere. #BeachSMC

@Dominique25889 It'll be interesting to see what effects this bill will have. One thing I found interesting about the bill is that it requires social media companies to delete the accounts of minors and if they fail to do so the minor can be awarded financial damages. #BeachSMC

Social media is definitely the wild west in that you cannot control what people post online. However, poor PR strategies from Kensington Palace only made it worse. While they could not completely control the narrative, they could've tamed it. #BeachSMC

It's interesting how social media promotes overconsumption and yet it is also a place where people seek advice on living sustainably. I have definitely witnessed the rejection of influencer culture on my own TikTok feed. #BeachSMC

@Pineda3Samantha I am also not surprised by the findings of this study. Nonetheless, it is very concerning to know people are seeking cosmetic procedures to look like the filtered versions of themselves. I agree that social media can make people feel insecure about their appearance. #BeachSMC

The Fyre Festival for children is another example of how social media can make specific moments in culture go viral. This particular event may have showcased the failures of AI but at least funny memes came out of it. #BeachSMC

The link between social media usage and the likelihood of getting plastic surgery is concerning. People seeking treatment to look like the filtered versions of themselves is especially worrying. This is another negative effect of social media. #BeachSMC

@Katie_monhllnd Major events like the Super Bowl showcase how social media can rally around something. Social media is a big part of the experience because everyone is watching at home and there's something for everyone. As the article mentions, there were many moments caused a frenzy. #BeachSMC

I think having no boundaries between work and personal life was inevitable for Gen Z. This generation grew up with social media and it’s ingrained in their lives perhaps more than other generations. Unfortunately, posts can be used against them. #BeachSMC

It’s interesting to see which Super Bowl ads received the most social media engagement. Unsurprisingly, the Verizon ad about Beyonce breaking the internet indeed broke the internet as she used the ad to drop new music. #BeachSMC

@Madi618990 I found it interesting that users are posting on Instagram less and less. I think you're right that it partly has to do with us growing up. I haven't posted on IG since I was in middle school and I stopped scrolling through my feed nearly two years ago. #BeachSMC #SMCBeach

[Erika @ERlKAFlGUEROA]

I’m interested to see how this will affect the platform. Users rely on music to create engaging content. Meanwhile, many songs have become popular on the app, so I wonder what this means for artists with a less established fan base. #BeachSMC #SMCBeach

What could’ve been dismissed as a funny viral moment became a showcase of how social media can unite people even if it's over melancholy. It was great to see how Sesame Street responded with a link to mental health resources. #BeachSMC #SMCBeach
