Teens have found a new path to the Holy Grail of going viral. They're orchestrating violent attacks, filming them, and posting them to SnapChat, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms. LPR Attorney Emmie Paulos told FOX News that social media companies encourage violent content. "We see it every day," said Paulos, who is a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee in the product liability multidistrict litigation that aims to hold social media companies accountable for adolescent addiction and personal injury resulting from these companies' profit-driven algorithms. "The public needs to know that content on social media that elicits a strong response is going to drive user engagement. That is the goal of the algorithm," Paulos said.

The power of social media can be a double-edged sword ⚔. While it has the potential to connect us and amplify important voices, it can also unleash a dark and dangerous side. The tragic case of the #TamilNaduinfant who fell from a balcony, only to have her mother take her own life due to relentless #onlinetrolling, serves as a chilling reminder of social media's capacity for harm. The outrage and judgment that poured forth, often without full context, can have #devastating real-world consequences. Similarly, the #Punecase of a 17-year-old #Porschedriver who killed two people highlights how social media can distort justice. Had there not been such a #publicoutcry, the minor may have faced a #lenientpunishment. (Writing essay and working with traffic police 🙄 ). Instead, the entire family found themselves behind bars, with social media playing an undeniable role. These examples underscore the need for #caution and responsible use of social media. While it offers a powerful platform, we must be mindful of the potential for #mobmentality, #misinformation, and the lasting impact our digital actions can have on #vulnerableindividuals and their loved ones. As we navigate this evolving landscape, we must strive to wield social media's influence with wisdom and empathy. 🙏 #PunePorscheCase #JuvenileJusticeBoard #SocialMediaInfluenceOnJustice #DigitalJusticeSocialMediaOutcry #LegalImpactOfSocialMedia #OnlineInfluenceOnLegalSystem #TeenDriverResponsibility #OnlineJudgment #OnlineJustice#ImpactOfTrolling #SocialMediaEthics #JusticeAndSocialMedia #MindfulUsage #DigitalWellbeing #InternetMobMentality #PowerOfSocialMedia #ThinkBeforeYouPost #ProtectTheVulnerable #SocialMediaImpact #WiseUseOfSocialMedia #EmpathyOnline

#DecodingHeadlines  This week brings us the verb TACKLE "Social media given 'last chance' to tackle illegal posts?" (by BBC) 🎓 In this context, "tackle" refers to taking significant actions to address a problem, often involving uncertainty or challenges, rather than just dealing with a simple issue. (Cambridge dictionary) · Can be replaced by synonyms such as: addressing, confronting, taking on, dealing with, etc. · Another example of use could be: "He tackled the problem of declining sales, and it resulted in a remarkable turnaround."                                                    Find the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eR6Y3Xbb

Sharing accurate information on social media isn’t just a good habit—it’s a civic responsibility! In a world where misinformation can spread fast, each post matters. Whether it’s fact-checking before we share news or verifying sources on important issues, we’re all part of building a more informed, responsible community. #ThinkBeforeYouPost #CivicResponsibility #TruthMatters #InformedCommunity

Is Social the new news source? I see more "news articles" that take a screenshot of somebody's opinion and spin it like nuts. Or is it just elevated gossip? #social #news

"Are Facebook & Instagram dying?" Earlier today I attended an event organised by the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce and I had an interesting conversation. Someone asked me whether platforms like Instagram and Facebook were “dying.” Social media is evolving quickly, and each platform has distinct strengths and audiences. Instead of seeing platforms as obsolete, I believe the key is to understand their role and tailor your approach: • TikTok is the king of creativity and virality, where short, entertaining videos resonate with a younger audience. • Instagram remains a strong platform for visual storytelling and community building, particularly through Reels and Stories. • Facebook, while quieter, excels in fostering connections through Groups and older, more engaged demographics. A perfect example? A law firm recently went viral on TikTok with a festive video of a solicitor dancing to The Holiday soundtrack. It’s proof that even the most traditional industries can succeed by adapting their tone and creativity to the right platform. The takeaway: Social media isn’t dying—it’s diversifying. Your strategy should be less about the platform itself and more about the audience you’re trying to reach. Have you experimented with different platforms? What’s worked best for your business?

X/Twitter Is Officially Allowing Porn and Other Adult Content X/Twitter has officially updated its guidelines, now allowing for the sharing of pornographic and other adult-themed content on the platform. This significant shift in policy marks a departure from previous restrictions and opens the door for users to engage with a wider range of content. Key Points: *Policy Update: X/Twitter now permits the sharing of consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior. *Restrictions: Adult content should not be displayed in obvious places such as profile pictures or banners. *Content Warnings: Users who regularly post adult content are encouraged to use content warnings to prevent unintended exposure, particularly to minors or users who have not provided their birth date. *Autonomy and Artistic Expression: X/Twitter emphasizes the autonomy of adults to engage with and create sexual content as a legitimate form of artistic expression. Background: *Increasing Trend: The decision to allow NSFW content on X/Twitter reflects a growing trend, with platforms recognizing the importance of accommodating diverse forms of expression. *Community Guidelines: X/Twitter's move parallels similar shifts in other platforms, such as Tumblr, which adjusted its guidelines to allow nudity while still imposing restrictions on sexually explicit imagery. *Financial Considerations: The policy change also aligns with X/Twitter's efforts to explore new revenue streams amid challenges such as advertiser departures.

Social media has become an integral part of our lives, serving as a platform for interaction, business, and #entertainment. However, some individuals have taken it upon themselves to use this space to spread false rumors and engage in abusive behavior, causing unnecessary distress to innocent parties. Recently, the #NigerianGospel scene has been rocked by baseless rumors regarding #MercyChinwo and #NathanielBassey. These rumors have been hurtful not only to the individuals involved but also their #families and fans. It is important to note that spreading false information without fact or proof is not only damaging but also illegal. By the provisions of Section 375 of the #CriminalCodeAct, any person who publishes any defamatory matter is guilty of a misdemeanor and is liable to imprisonment for one year; and any person who publishes any defamatory matter knowing it to be false, is liable to imprisonment for two years. As a #journalist I urge everyone to be responsible when using social media. Before sharing any information, make sure it is accurate and factual. Commenting on someone's post without proof or fact can have serious consequences, including ruining their career and personal life. I am glad to hear that #legal action has been taken against those spreading these rumors. This should serve as a lesson to all social media users to think twice before posting harmful content. #Cyberbullying is a serious issue that affects many people, and it is important to remember that the individuals we are bullying are human beings with feelings and emotions. Let us all strive to create a positive and respectful #online community where everyone feels safe and valued. Spreading love and positivity is much more rewarding than engaging in harmful behavior. Let us treat others the way we would like to be treated, both online and offline. #myopinion
