@JaniceGDiaz I agree that it shouldn't be the only resource people rely on, even when it comes to dealing with mental health. I feel like it's so easy to spread fake news or pretend to be a credible source on that app, so it's not smart to turn to this app when people need help. #BeachSMC

Another problem the concept of "mominfluencers" have caused is the exploitation of their own kids for views. I feel like I've seen this a lot on Tik Tok where moms record their kids without them knowing they'll be "viral" which can be weird. #BeachSMC https://t.co/2yEg95JPlW

It's so crazy that having a blue check mark before this was a symbol of being famous but it then quickly turned into a of being a sell out. I think paying for the blue check mark is so unnecessary and just an excuse to get more money. #BeachSMC https://t.co/Y5cMdABiiY

I think it's a safer route to verify someone's age before signing up for social media, but I do think kids will find a way around it eventually. However, this makes me wonder if any other state will follow this bill. #BeachSMC https://t.co/ssjkD61aG8

@ashleymoolina It's pretty scary how normalized it is in this era of the internet especially if you have an embarrassing digital footprint that can be used against you! I do agree the line gets really blurry but there's definitely a point where it can get weird. #BeachSMC

I like how this article points out that Tik Tok has its pros and cons but banning it will really only benefit their competitors, such as Instagram and Youtube, because it doesn't really do anything for anyone else. #BeachSMC https://t.co/R2hDcw7oKR

It's so shocking how much a social media app kids love to use could be such a threat to the government . I don't think it's a crazy decision though knowing how easily information can be shared online, especially Tik Tok. #BeachSMC https://t.co/Fa6XHqgX0S

@anneunkim The idea of TikTok-based psychics taking on real crimes just sounds scary within itself. Having unreliable sources floating on the internet like that and people actually believing them just shows how easy it is to trust fake news.#BeachSMC

I think it's smart of Tik Tok to limit screen time for minors since it's so easy to just keep scrolling for hours. However, I do think kids will find a way around this and continue to use the addicting app. https://t.co/LZQVdmQpHm #BeachSMC

I think therapists have to go through some social media ethics training to keep social media separate from their work out of just respect. It just seems unprofessional to make Tik Toks about your clients. #BeachSMC https://t.co/yUtrhgDsLH

@JaniceGDiaz I love that you pointed out how common it is to have online friendships! I think this is mainly seen in fangirl/stan culture where many teens bond over liking a specific artist or TV show online which I think is a great way to make new friends. #BeachSMC

I'm glad creators will be rewarded through this program but I don't think having 100,000 followers should be the minimum to be qualified to get paid. I know many creators who deserve to get paid with just 10,000 followers. #BeachSMC

I think it’s interesting that people are bonding over getting laid off on LinkedIn. It's the app where most users usually brag and post about their accomplishments, so it's refreshing to see people network through these not-so-positive things. #beachsmc

@ashleymoolina I agree! I feel like profile pictures are the first impression you give off when someone is looking at your socials so keeping them updated and accurate is the best thing to do especially on apps like Linkedin. #BEACHSMC

[kat @katnuunez]

I don't necessarily think the web versions are better because of not having notifications. I'd actually prefer having notifications on so I can always be alarmed when something is going on versus missing out! #BEACHSMC https://t.co/hgyhgbvShP

[kat @katnuunez]

People are so quick to believe some of the dumbest things on Tik Tok and don't even bother to use common sense. But I do agree that the personalized algorithm makes it easy to influence people #BEACHSMC https://t.co/aXAGIKY2dL
