@towerz1587 I also agree that government censorship provides a threat to the ideals of democracy. I think it’s also interesting what the government thinks needs to be censored especially since there is a lot of inappropriate content surrounding the internet and nothing done about it.

The news surrounding Twitter verification is getting out of hand. I feel like there are a ton of inconsistencies regarding the blue tick, especially this one included in the article. I think there needs to be better management of Twitter Blue. #BeachSMC

Although, it might just seem like interesting content for views, I get how tiktoks showing crimes could very much lead to a rise in paranoia. I think high paranoia is very detrimental because it leads to fearful actions that could lead to harm. #BeachSMC

@jazminlx1851 I think psychics help people to have hope when they feel they don’t have control over a situation. I think the problem is that psychics are human beings with the ability to make errors. I think with how vast the internet it anyone can claim to be psychic which can cause harm.

The youth really might be the hope for the future, as Biden works to recruit Tiktok Influencers to reach young voters. This is highly controversial and contradictory as Biden is close to signing a law that would outlaw the app altogether. #BeachSMC

Verification on social media is an absolute necessity. That’s why Twitter updating their description of verified accounts is causing obstacles, as the lines begin to blur in regards to who’s paying for a blue tick and who actually deserves it. #BeachSMC

@baileymgallatin I find this interesting. Especially the part about cyber-intimacy and creating a intimate relationship completely tied to the internet. I don’t think I could do it, but it’s interesting to see how these things were once necessary to maintain relationships during the HIV epidemic

Hundreds of sexual deepfake ads using Emma Watson’s face ran on Facebook and Instagram. This raises the question: have deepfakes gone too far? There is a lot of concern of whether it’s just a silly tool or if it has the power to ruin lives. #BeachSMC

AI has taken things to an entirely new level. Now fans of,both real and fictional, icons and famous personnel can have one on one conversations and form parasocial relationships with them through Character. ai. #BeachSMC

@Jrayy21 Knowing Tiktok’s popularity it is appalling yet understandable how many people face misinformation everyday. I think the most interesting part of the article was when they mentioned how Tiktok’s main goal is towards virality and videos that seem interesting rather than the truth.

[Rhiann Sheffie @rhi_sheff]

@baileymgallatin I think it’s interesting how bots have developed to liking stories essentially to seem human and to in a way “stay alive”. It also intriguing to see the multiple tactics these bots use in order to steal personal information and I also find the twitter responses to them funny.

Youtube initiated a new feature Thursday that allows creators to dub their videos in multiple languages. Youtube tested it out with popular creator Mr. Beast, who hopes this feature will bring more international viewers to his main channel. #BeachSMC

@TotyTottress I totally agree! I have seen my feed has transform over time and have watched as the algorithm tries to push ads they think i will enjoy rather than putting things i actually enjoy in my feed. I’ve watched the heart of the app sort of die and instead become a cash grab.

New Jersey is one of many states looking to ban TikTok on government-owned devices. This ban could be a problem due to the elimination of free speech but might be necessary due to the possible threat of national security from “ByteDance.” #BeachSMC

The age for social media has reached a new low. 13 years old is now seen as too young to be interacting across social media platforms due to the “dopamine [dump’s]” negative impacts on teens developing brains and their growing literacy skills. #BeachSMC
