'Why are we giving it to kids?': A landmark verdict could reshape social media A first-of-its-kind decision marked a crucial moment of accountability for social media companies. It's just the beginning, writes CNN's Clare Duffy.

Blames social media platforms for harms is like blaming roads for car crashes.

Harms on #SocMed sites like Facebook + YouTube are from algorithms pushing harmful content at users, and from inaction on Community Standards complaints.

Issue isn't age of users.

The dread of impending self-consciousness embarrassment for posting the wrong things has built to a crescendo, and it’s time for me to hide in self-imposed introverted exile from #socmed until I can disregard my inner warnings and be oblivious enough to post/comment again. Ciao. Aloha. Tschüß.

What sites out there like Tumblr do you enjoy? Places that are more fandom and creativity focused than anything else. ActivityPub compatibility is cool but not a deal breaker for me. I already know Pillowfort.

It seems to me that LinkedIn is enshittifying their internal search. In the past weeks I frequently don’t get any results when searching for someone I met inside LinkedIn (the website, or the mobile app). Yet, when I search for them online generally, I get the link to their LinkedIn profile as […]

“For activists like Jamira Burley [Leading with Conviction™ 2015], TikTok feels like ‘a trap door’ where she doesn’t feel her ‘work or safety is protected.’”

The constant vomitus of MAGA-nut memes is easy when you have 769 employees. They have learned to weaponize #socmed just like Russia, China, and others. It almost goes without saying the exec dir is paid more than $300,000/year. Memes are extra easy when you don't care about facts or the truth.

Alternatively, big tech could adequately police their own platforms, but they claim that they cannot afford to do so. #SocMed

One of my buddies said: "I'm sick of Facebook sh*t that just makes me angry." I replied: "Yes, anger sh*t keeps you on Facebook longer, so FB makes more money just by showing you more ads." He said: "But I never click on ads." I said: "They charge just to show you ads." #socmed #ads

People are leaving Twitter (now “X”) for new networks like Threads and different social sites like Mastodon. Let me know in the comments or your favorite social network where you are finding a social home on the web. Or maybe — just like I feel some days — you want to trash it all and just have in-person meetups! Whatever you’ve decided, I’d like to hear from you. Meanwhile, check out my web-story about this mess and then read on… ## What’s up with social? It seems like social networks have become a billionaire playground. But the ones who are having less fun are all the non-billionaire playmates: that’s you and me. Much has been said about the Twitter takeover and rebranding. Messy? Yes, in every way. Engagement has dropped on that platform and the push to pay is in high gear. Some have chosen to subscribe to get the blue or yellow checkmark. Many others have left Twitter. Among those who are still tweeting, there’s a movement on to keep calling things tweets, tweeps, and so on. Isn’t the “X” branding just a joke? Before the takeover, many musicians and artists found Twitter to be an excellent way to share their new releases. Now, most of us have seen it dry up as a community building or promotional haven. ## How many socials does one billionaire need? Many have taken to the various Meta platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and the new Threads social network. Another social network became popular with many Twitter escapees: Mastodon. This platform takes a completely different approach. There is no central control and no corporation in charge. Instead, there is a federated web of servers that allow people to interact, but also give the option for one server to block another if the content is problematic. One very positive thing about Mastodon is that interactions are generally much kinder and more cordial than on most of the other social networks. For now, I’ll be posting there. ## Social to Infinity There are many other social networks including Bluesky, TikTok, and so on. What social networks are your favorites? And what draws you to them? I’d really like to hear from you in the comments or — heaven forbid — on a social network. ### Please share! * Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * More * * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * * Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr * Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest * * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * ### Like this: Like Loading... ### _More for you_ * * * ### Discover more from Stan Stewart - @muz4now Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

There are other reasons to oppose a law banning under 16YOs from being on social media platforms.

Will families be made to censor young teens from talking with relatives like brother overseas or grandmother in a rest home?

Will it put teens off future tech careers?

Why not make #SocMed safer?

I think we all have friends/mutuals/family who only forwards posts. They rarely #write anything original. Ever since I joined social media in 2008, I've wanted the ability to filter out those reposts. Not all, just those users who flood my feed with bursts of 5 or 10 shares. #socmed #filter #rant

Trump’s government is now using #AI to spy on all of us on #socialmedia. That’s meant to intimidate us and chill #freespeech. F*** that sh*t.

In recent days, #ICE has signed a $5.7 million, five-year contract with Carahsoft Technology to use Zignal Labs, an AI-powered surveillance platform capable of analyzing over eight billion social media posts daily to detect “threats” in real time.

I found this post by @stejormur.bsky.social on Tumblr and 3 things occured to me: 1) Engagement can take place anywhere on #socmed 2) Sometimes a post takes on a life of its own and 3) The observation on this is great #writing is spot on #writingcommunity

To find out who is really leading you, just look at the ones you can't criticize. (But it's not just political. Being watched changes behavior and speech. That's why some social media platforms are extra sh*tty.) #socmed #cricisim #censorship
