@BuscettaGrace TikTok was both a viral sensation and a possible international security threat. The idea of it shutting down is mind boggling yet some of the threats were validated because of ByteDance's actions.

@Jr1450_ GamerGate showed the insecurity of many gamers out there who attacked women just because they wanted to join the space.

#fakenews connects to how The Social Dilemma perceives a threat of social media. While some people spread misinformation, others use the term to discredit news that they don't believe or like, creating a society where the truth is subjective. #virtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

@MikeStamatis Some of the men in gaming really are scared to share their community even though they might not be personally affected by it. It's honestly sad seeing some of the attacks that they do

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

#toxicgamer relates to Gamergate because it shows the evil actions of men trying to prevent women from "invading" the space of video games. They attack women and try to make them uncomfortable to the point where they will stop gaming. #VirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

#AAPI is an example of a hashtag that represents a marginalized community. It stands for "Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders", and is based around a minority group that faces stereotyping and racism in America. #VirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

#MeToo is a hashtag that shows Boyd's idea of persistence in networked publics. While the movement started years ago, people are still able to archive and also create new conversations using the hashtag while older ideas still stay on the site. #VirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

@laurenmbaker419 The Me Too movement has caused the entertainment industry as a whole to be more proactive in exposing absuers and making sure that they don't have a platform to continue their crimes.

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

@Mattsales_ Absolutely. Hashtags like these spread messages so quickly, and the amount of content helps these women show their real life experiences.

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

@Klh217Hernandez Dating apps have become such a large part of the world we live in and the relationships that many people forge.

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

@Mattsales_ I think that dating apps are often used in a more casual and quick sense, where real life relationships are more personal and meant to last longer than a hookup.

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

This relates to the idea that Hobbs, Owen and Gerber describe in their writing that people use dating apps (like Tinder) as a means to talk to multiple people at once and create strategies on how to move forward.

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

#strategicdating is a hashtag where people can find articles and videos that give them different ideas on modern dating. #VirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

This tweet illustrates the idea of using #muslimwomensday in order to show a real perspective into the life of muslim women and not one centered around how they are portrayed in the media through a biased lens. #VirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM

[Feminist Generation @FemGen]

Today we honor Muslim women across this country. You are loved. We honor the Muslim women leading our movements for justice. We recommit to struggling against patriarchy, anti-Muslim racism, anti-Blackness & white supremacy. We celebrate *all* Muslim women this #MuslimWomensDay

[Dylan McCoy @McCoyDCIM]

One hashtag that I would be interested in learning more about #January6thCommitteeHearings because it is a constantly evolving story with many different opinions on the subject. #VirtualE1 #RutgersDCIM
