The Facebook liking article reminded me of one of the reasons I deleted the platform. Nothing that I saw on my feed was interesting to me, and I didn’t want to “recurate” it based on what I preferred about other platforms. #RHMS270
In my high school people were also expelled for bullying that occurred on a private Instagram. Reminds you that sometimes even the “rules” of a private can be violated when they are posting certain kinds of content. #RHMS270
