My Tumblr account where I discussed social medias influence of society and politics. #MCO335

@cmmore18 @cmmore18 #MCO335 Fantastic story! I agree with you that journalists have a huge responsibility on social media regarding journalism and news. It's so important to be truthful and accurate, especially now!

@heartandhumorr @heartandhumorr #MCO335, this is a Great piece about how social media is changing the way we receive news. I liked how you mentioned "doom scrolling" and its ability to make people less inclined to fact-check what they see online. Great work!

This article, written by Callum Sutherland, reports on Donald Trump's U.N. assembly speech. Despite their history of skewing left, this article has a balanced bias and news with a POV. #MCO335

Donald Trump has now implied that he may take away licenses for TV networks who are negative towards him.

“When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — if you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative one in years, or something — when you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that”

David Letterman reacts to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ being pulled off the air, shades Donald Trump:

“You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian, a criminal administration in the Oval Office.”

Jon Stewart hosted ‘THE DAILY SHOW’ tonight in its “patriotically obedient” era after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended.

Stewart said that The First Amendment is now determined by the “niceness to the President” & if that isn’t strong enough then the “FCC must be notified to threaten the acquisition prospects for billion dollar mergers of network affiliates”

Jimmy Fallon reacts to ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel’s show:

“A lot of people are worried that we won’t keep saying what we want to say, or that we’ll be censored, but I’m going to cover the President’s trip to the UK, just like I normally would”

@Taylor593233908 @Taylor593233908 Their TOS is fair compared to other platforms' TOS. This assignment is making me realize I need to take the time to see what TOS I am agreeing to before making an account or interacting on a platform. #MCO335

@kdt680 @kdt680 Wow! I never knew this! Does Snapchat give users the option to request that user content not be copied and stored? If not, then we all might have to think twice about what we share on the platform! #MCO335

[Leira Mendez @leirafilms]

@letterboxd takes significant privacy measures and provides full transparency in its TOS to ensure user ownership and security of their content and data. #MCO335
