@sarah73025 Very interesting and relevant article! This always comes around with hot topics going on in our world. I think it is okay for influencers to speak out, but in no way should they be obligated. They are going to receive hate and pressure regardless if they share, so some don’t.

What people post and why people post what they do. Self benefit, self defining, self fulfillment? https://t.co/c39vZI1llt #BeachSMC

Study showing that 95% of teens from 13-17 are using social media. Still finding that there are many negative effects - lack of sleep, increase exposure to bullying, unrealistic views. https://t.co/xTrGXWhHy3 #BeachSMC

Social media breaks might not be as beneficial as we think they are. Instead consider a natural decline in social media usage! https://t.co/J2UiDzkFww #BeachSMC

@LyonnelEugene They are definitely trying hard to stay relevant with new features coming out all the time. I think they do have a huge market with the younger generation that doesn’t use phone numbers anymore. Lots of kids communicate through Snapchat now, which will lock people into using it.

Meta searching to do what’s right as hackers breach pro Palestinian accounts. https://t.co/XdL2HXLbsT #beachsmc

Issue with how people search using Google. People are losing trust and times may be shifting. Do users use social media platforms to search now??? https://t.co/HhANHkHYE3 #beachsmc

Gen Z has a fad of .5 photos that are fit for any occasion. This has spread and become the new selfie at times. https://t.co/dsru96h9tU #beachsmc

@daokayley I fully agree with your opinion. Misinformation shouldn’t be allowed to begin with, but profiting off of it is a whole new level. Hopefully there continues to be ways to combat the issues we’re faced with.

Instagram is coming up with a way to make their paid verified option more appealing. They just offer options like this to customers that are paying, but I don’t think it should be a paid deal to begin with. #beachsmc https://t.co/ydvZ3wBiWg

The subscription aspect for social media platforms is a little weird to me. I see them as a public forum and when there’s a subscription, there is more control and power involved. Regardless, it is their decision and another way for revenue. #beachsmc https://t.co/B2h4czhNpK

I think we can all agree that social media advertisements can be very annoying sometimes. The problem is that they are working, regardless of nearly 75% of people disliking them. #beachsmc

@fuer81352 I agree with your comments about the video/article. As crazy as it is, these influencers are also influencing each other. The more real that they are, the healthier of a lifestyle that they will live. I believe that it helps the viewers to see this vulnerability as well.

Even teens are starting to realize themselves that they’re on social media too much. 36% of teens on social media think so. FOMO is a big reason for their need. With this being said, they do acknowledge the positive impact of social media https://t.co/5bNafK3DAQ

A new piece of legislation floating around that would bar kids from using social media. Is this something that we control at a state or federal level? Should the decision be in the hands of parents? https://t.co/v22wgHGJq2 #BEACHSMC

There are positive and negative effects on relationships from social media use. The increased use of social media while with your partner is taking from quality of time spent together. Some argue that without it you may have never met them! https://t.co/n44m5HzuqC

This article dives into the changes made in the terms of service by Elon Musk for switching the twitter brand to X. The main thing that stands out to me is the AI training that is allowed! #BEACHSMC

@daokayley I agree to your comments on this and think this is a very sad topic. I think that with social media growing and becoming a main part of everyone’s lives, there should be some education behind it and guidelines to using it in the “right” way.

[Mason Briggs @masonbriggstest]

Elon Musk looks to fulfill a promise he made about allowing creators to collect email lists directly on X. People that subscribe to these creators would be able to click a checkbox and be added to contact lists. A one stop shop solution. #BEACHSMC https://t.co/mCSrqmcYrM
