@naydeenortiz Knowing that Eminem has went so long being sober is impressive and shows how dedicated he was towards improvement. Alcohol addiction is real and hard to get over.

Synthetic drugs are being sold online through the use of social media. Plenty of instances where people are advertising through "X" or other social media. Soundcloud also has audio files that contribute with offering drugs online. #BeachSMC https://t.co/RSUIxzGSPn

A bill coming that will require TikTok to sell or face bans from the U.S. Senate seems to be anticipated to pass the bill. This seems to be one small aspect of the problem. #BeachSMC https://t.co/uJFmePpsXJ

@JMonteon55 I believe there are larger issues in the world than dealing with TikTok because of the Chinese gathering information. Although this can be a problem there are other priorities that need to be addressed. #BeachSMC

Social media companies like TikTok, made adjustments to help improve child safety on their platform. This is done in attempt to help against the rampant issue of cyberbullying. Also helps to prevent social media addiction and its negatives.

Georgia may join other states for a bill requiring minors who are 16 and under to provide parental permission to create social media accounts. This is in effect to help fight the ongoing problem with social media addiction and cyberbullying.

@Natalie39736035 I find it interesting how when Elon took over twitter, the entire atmosphere changed. The increase of AD's on YouTube is what I find annoying as well! #BeachSMC

Social media bill in Florida which would ban teenagers who are under the age of 16 to make a social media account. Banning all the current accounts. Effectiveness is questioned because of the creation of new accounts. #BeachSMC https://t.co/xpiNGIkbJc

Several states have had conflicts with social media's impact on the youth. Some want to restrict children from using it by requiring a picture of an I.D. or even expand upon parental controls. Plenty of states have differing opinions. #BEACHSMC https://t.co/wIlcILMNeF

@evanosterkamp88 Elmo having the ability to get a large group of X users to trauma dump is why X is so unique. Unfortunate that people are going through rough times however, some tweets under were wholesome and funny! This is what X comments are all about. #EmotionalWellBeing

Universal Music Group pulls music from TikTok, because of their lack of enforcement revolving around AI-generated music, fair pay, and, the mental health of young social media users. Claims of not protecting human artists from AI. #smcbeach #BeachSMC

CEO's of large social media corporations were blamed for the lack of policies to protect children. In which all were defensive. Big corporations must take accountability to improve on removing child abuse material. #BeachSMC #smcbeach
