@Taizinfb I agree, I can also see how over policing something can lead to even more temptations to just ignore the law since they’re making such a big deal about it. #BeachSMC

I knew from the beginning that blue checkmarks would start getting out of hand when the policy changed. The article even states that some people don’t want it, yet are getting it anyways. #BeachSMC

I think what’s more mind blowing to me is the progress that AI is making in general. More recently the explosion with ChatGPT and now AI generated pictures show how quick AI is progressing. #beachsmc

@mandaplong I think that this a great idea, it definitely gives another purpose for a social media platform that people are skeptical about another purpose.

The basis of this article is that kids in Utah were being mentally damaged through social media and that the state wasn't doing anything about it. I believe that this shouldn't be a state issue since it can occur anywhere there is social media. #BeachSMC

The idea that social media is good or bad really depends on the perspective and mindset people will look it as. I'd like to emphasize that TikTok was made as an escape and to relax and enjoy, not something that will make us hate dance or whatnot. #BeachSMC

@Kimestrada22 Thank goodness this is now a feature, little components like these can come a long way too and I sure appreciate being able to search for something specific like a certain comment in a post if I need to. #BeachSMC

https://t.co/JmvP9pWsmF I get that running a business through social media can be a different story, but was social media really built for businesses to advertise in the first place? I don’t really like where this is headed, especially security being a luxury. #BeachSMC

https://t.co/nUG9zwuQDw Honestly, I don’t even use TikTok all that much but they have some pretty good points here especially pointing out if politicians know what they’re banning as TikTok is just another social media platform. #BeachSMC

@winnietrose This article has a point that Social Media is not all that bad, which is something I have to remind myself often. In general, people nowadays think that social media is bad for people, but it can help people if it is used correctly. #BeachSMC

I think that Bondee sounds like a nice app that people will enjoy for a little while. Like it says in the article, the best part about it is that it has social media features that people haven't gotten sick of yet. #BeachSMC

I would have to disagree with the idea of making the verified checkmark obtainable via a subscription feature. Sure they intend to change the meaning of the badge, however people can always get around verifications making impersonations an issue. #BeachSMC https://t.co/OC0lCKfEzp

@AngelLo02273747 @WIRED I think that the line, " some people will make assumptions about you based on a photo," is so interesting in regards to a profile picture. I never really thought about it that way and in my opinion it makes a point to people who constantly use social media. #BeachSMC

[Raphael Yap @Wafallell]

It's a bold claim to say that social media is "dying", I think that the way people perceive social media now is different. Posting on the grid on instagram is not really what's popular anymore but posting a 24 hour story seems to be the go to. #BeachSMC https://t.co/SVtBuZ89SO

I find it intriguing that social media is starting to become a platform where businesses rely on growth. Aspects like growing an audience through social media through strategic posting is a smart way to spread word about a business and to grow. #beachSMC
