@kayclinecsulb Wow, I would have never known that the use of emojis would be to outmaneuver algorithms that censor certain words on platforms. It is interesting to see how our generation can cleverly outsmart the obstacles and spread important information despite being censored.#BeachSMC

A content creator lied about meeting a total stranger and created a video that got millions of views. Privacy gets exploited through social media, and people's images can be tarnished through the lens that other people choose to see through. #BeachSMC

A new incentive is pushing for Instagram users and Facebook users to pay for the ad-free usage of both social media platforms. However, both are expensive, totaling 10 dollars a month for the ad-free apps. #BeachSMC

@AaliyahArtry Hey Aaliyah, I totally agree! It is very interesting to hear about all the different ways social media can affect people's lives. It is nice to hear that it is doing some positive for these folks in retirement age since it does have some nasty drawbacks.

Trained coders found that there is a severe danger for minors who are active and stream regularly on Twitch. Their nativity makes them a target for predators because they are impressionable and often put themselves in dangerous situations. #BeachSMC

There is a new extension on Snapchat, it's an AI interactive tool that helps kids grasp STEM concepts in real-world scenarios. This Snapchat extension teams up with the virtual experiential learning platform, Inspirit. #BeachSMC

@_ArielVelasco I eally like this article because it talks about the two polar sides of how social media is used by various users. Some share too much and some dont share at all, but at the end of the day it is the users decision. #BeachSMC

South Korea is fining Google and Apple up to 50 million dollars for evading their payment regulations, and for placing discriminatory charges to domestic app developers in South Korea. #BeachSMC

X users are being tricked by unlabeled ads. By clicking on what seems like a normal post, they automatically redirect to a companies website. It is sneaky marketing that should be more closely advised in my opinion. #BeachSMC

@LyonnelEugene I agree with you, there are so many dangers out there today, and with young impressionable children the risks are even greater. In this article unfortunately the poor boy suffered the consequences of his choices, but its an example of the negative effects social media can have.

Tik-Tok created its first Latin Visionary Voices List to celebrate Latin Heritage Month. The list includes content creators, singers etc. and is a way to recognize and appreciate the impact of Latin creators who continue to break boundaries.

This article uses movie ratings to explain the dangers of having teens online exposed to unfiltered media. You wouldn't want your 8 year old to see a R rated movie, yet online there are no ratings and possibilities of being exposed to worse.

@agrestaP1 Its really sad that traveling to other countries has become a social media contest,or a way to make your profile look cool. Rather than getting to experience new cultures and see the world from a new perspective. Hopefully people can realize the effects of their traveling habits.

Elon Musk decides to give verified creators a percentage of the companies' ad revenue in hopes of keeping loyal creators on the app. Users make more money from replies on their posts, so its likely creators will post more controversial topics. #BeachSMC

The latest tik tok trend: adding Borax into drinks for "health benefits". It's a part of a health misinformation issue that spreads beyond tik tok. Extremely harmful for users that fall for these tricks, yet beneficial to those who promote it. #BeachSMC
