@leximwri I agree it is important to protect our youth from the harm social media can inflict especially at such a young age. I think it’s important at such a young age for at least the parents to try and supervise what they access on social media. #beachsmc

This is so sad,the Trevor Project which is used as a voice and a safe place for people in the LGBTQ+ community has removed themself from X due to hate.This project is so important for not only the community but for the youth to know they are loved and accepted #BeachSMC

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

The Trevor Project is leaving X in light of “increasing hate and vitriol” targeting the queer community on the platform.

This shows that people are feeling silenced for talking about real life issues that are happening in our world.Words are being censored so we have replaced those censored words with an emoji to be able to continue to educate people on the war happening on social media. #BeachSMC

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

As social media users suspect platforms of censoring content about Gaza, the watermelon emoji is being used in place of the Palestinian flag.

It seems as though over the past few months Tik tok is beginning to do everything in its power to bring more and more money into the app. From tik tok shop to now concerts. Is this app still made for fun video? Or is it becoming a money driven app.

I feel as though all apps are now trying to become “everything apps” as described in the article. I feel as though the lines are beginning to blur between social media apps and they are all becoming extremely similar. It takes away the significance of these apps. #beachSMC

Will X's addition of audio and video calling create stickiness in the app? https://t.co/XwhTI1bPkG by @rebeccabellan

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

@NathanToCSULB I don’t think Tik tok realizes the extent of which this can do harm. They are promoting false advertisement by promoting pay and commission. It’s making the app look extremely bad and a ton of people are mad at it.

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

@ssavannahlopez I agree, I would rather sit through an ad than to pay to not see it. Ads can be frustrating but not enough to get me to pay to not see them.

There has been a ton of talk recently about how Musk has “ruined” Twitter and changed it to X, for the worse. Stories continue to come up about malfunctions experienced on the app. #beachSMC

[NBC News @NBCNews]

On Elon Musk’s X, the site formerly known as Twitter, some users have reported that they are unable to see news links and headlines on certain posts, a change in the way that media stories appear in their feed. https://t.co/UTVS2g3EKp

A family who used to have a following on social media for their YouTube videos, now torn apart as the mother was arrested for child abuse. The public has been skeptical of Franke for years since she started YouTube, because of how she treated her children publicly. #beachSMC

[Nightline @Nightline]

Mom-fluencer Ruby Franke was arrested after her son escaped from her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt’s house.

Both women face child abuse charges and while many of Franke’s followers blamed her, some wondered about Jodi’s involvement.

@mialnigro I fully agree with you. There is so much backlash right now towards tik tok and their lack of safety for younger users and the exposure they can see on the app. I definitely think they need an age check/verification to keep the younger user safe.

Tik tok has recently been receiving a ton of backlashes due to lack of safety towards children on the app. This to me seems like one of their ways to try and save themselves from the backlash/distract from what has been going on. #BeachSMC

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

https://t.co/lrZUxP9Iy8 I found this article interesting more so because it shows how at any point, these social media apps have the accessibility to track everything and every message you have sent through them, no matter who you are. #BeachSMC

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

https://t.co/DXIVKVCNkN the first time tik tom has been punished for violating Europe’s data privacy rules. They are suing for failure to protect children’s privacy, which I think could be a good thing for them. Tik tok should censor depending on ages of app use. #BeachSMC

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

@lydiattalks I agree with everything you said! I think the studies showing our shortened attention span due to social media, relates to the topic a lot. It’s a hole that one can be so easily sucked in to. So much time spent scrolling is time that could have been spent productively #BeachSMC

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

https://t.co/vF8K6PhtYB this is a great example of how social media can have a positive light. People reaching out for help because of the insight from social media. Or for those who don’t read the news, can find important information on these social media sites. #BeachSMC

[Kaycline @kayclinecsulb]

https://t.co/mtkYdbJ3XT I believe its important to make social media a safer place for the youth, there is so much poor exposure on social media for those of a young age. Finding a way to make it safer to keep the children safe is important for our younger generations. #BEACHSMC
