@thekenyhernandz I wonder if he even reaches a large audience on this app. I have never heard of it and I don't know anyone who uses it, but maybe that's because the app's audience is different from who I am. But all in all, I wonder if he reaches a lot of people on that app.

This TikTok ban is moving along a lot faster than other things brought to the House have progressed in the past. I wonder why the government seems so eager to get a ban or sale of TikTok. #BeachSMC

A days-long break from social media seems like something we could all benefit from. It is definitely something that I am going to try in the near future in an effort to reduce stress and get in touch with the world around me. #BeachSMC

@NoahJacinto I think it's very good that TikTok is making an effort to improve issues that it knows it has. It's especially good that they are including their target audience in their improvement efforts so that they get feedback directly from who the issues impact.

What would happen in the case that a parent wants their child to have a social media account? Can they override this new law when it goes into effect? I think it's good to limit kids online but some might think this is unconstitutional. #BeachSMC

I'm curious as to how this law will make sure and verify that parents are approving of their children's social media accounts. Will kids not just bypass this rule by pretending that their parents approve? #BeachSMC

@duhitzmarissa_ I am not sure entirely what this situation with Kate Middleton actually is, but I feel like I am not seeing a lot of real news coverage on it when she is such a huge, well-known worldwide figure. I just see a lot of conspiracies online.

To hack anyone's account is profoundly terrible, but to hack the account of someone who has passed away for personal financial gain is repulsive. There should be more of a punishment for online hackers. #BeachSMC https://t.co/RfU2fluzRW

I wonder if other demographic groups have seen an increase in TikTok usage. It seems like it is an app that is growing within most if not all groups of people. #BeachSMC

@naydeenortiz This is interesting, especially the fact that there is an online campaign for this controversy. I think the statue should be returned but I can see why others may want to preserve it in a museum. Maybe a middle ground would be to put it in a Chilean museum.

I definitely think that I have unfortunately fallen victim to the "popcorn brain" effect of social media. I have trouble focusing on anything for more than about 5 minutes. Maybe I can use some of the tips shared in the article to prevent this. #BeachSMC

Social media does give fast fashion a spotlight it doesn't need, but saying that Gen Z will never experience high quality clothes is a huge generalization. I wish companies like Temu & Shein had less of an influence and impact via social media. #BeachSMC https://t.co/BUOtJnjMry

@mltthew Deepfakes are a huge issue as the Internet develops, and there are deepfakes made to resemble almost every celebrity who has ever lived. Taylor Swift's name being attached to a social issue usually seems to draw people's attention, so maybe something will be done about this soon.

Facebook is used by almost half of the world, which surprises me because I personally don't even have an account. It is really impressive how Facebook has been successful for 20 years without really intriguing young people at all. #BeachSMC #SMCBeach

With the huge announcement of her next album via Instagram, Taylor Swift temporarily disabled the site because of high traffic. She managed to get over 2 million likes in about five minutes, which is seriously shocking! #BeachSMC #SMCBeach
