Here’s how to remove your Facebook feed in 30 seconds. Everyone who works in social media knows you can find yourself distracted every time you launch an app. But I've got a game-changer for you. My go-to Chrome extension that silences the Facebook noise, enabling me to zero in on my tasks: the News Feed Eradicator. I’m not trying to get sucked into an ex-coworkers’s messy drama or get lost in the latest news from the neighborhood group. Instead, I see a single quote and can dive right into Business Manager.

#SocialMedia - a growing problem 1.Make rules for social media companies to make their apps safer for kids. 2.Teach kids how to use social media in a healthy way. 3. Parents and caregivers - be a good role model

Social media gets it's fair share of bad press. So when WeAre8, a new social media app designed to counter toxicity launched, it drew plenty of attention 📱 In our latest blog, we're talking through the developing world of 'positive' social media apps - putting their potential, and effectiveness, to the test: https://lnkd.in/dWp4TPm7

Here are some tips for parents about keeping children safe on social media while navigating a complex landscape of questions surrounding the usage of these popular websites and apps.

The home, organisation or new start up which can integrate social media such as snapchat, Instagram, wats app, YouTube and tiktok in children's homes! 🏡 Will revolutionise the sector! 😳 ➡️It's coming, it will happen and it makes sense as our phones are an extension of us! 🤯 ➡️I'm just not sure how it happens yet!🤔 ❌I was the biggest critic of social media, I hated everything it was about. 😡😤🤬 ✅But I accept it is part of our day to lives, it isn't going anywhere and it will only become more ingrained. 😱😬😑🥴 ➡️Generation Z Americans, aged 15 to 27, spent an average of seven hours and seven minutes a day on their smartphones in 2023. This screen time, which increased by 6.5% compared to 2022, was mainly spent on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and messaging. ❌I'm done with putting the resistance up to it, instead I'm doing everything I can to understand it and working out how it can be used positively! 💡What's your thoughts, are you digging your heels in hoping there will be a huge change in law and governance of the sector or are you of the view it is here to stay, so I better get on the crash course in social media?

Fake videos and fake accounts have already been used to sway public opinion and influence US leaders on issues like Ukraine and Gaza. I don’t get involved in political theater but TikTok is a control point for adversarial governments to deploy social engineering of young voters. These young people mobilize into protests that have impacted US national security actions. There is no way that uncontrolled TikTok makes us a better nation. Think of it more simply as state-sponsored advertising. They use hundreds of millions, large collections of highly trained employees, AI, fake videos, fake influencers, and automated accounts to trick social media algorithms into making their propaganda viral. It works. Typical users believe it and become angry with thier own government over fake information. It is not just TikTok. But with Chinese access to account data - https://lnkd.in/eVpzH8d6

There is a campaign to ban people under 16 accessing social media platforms. The intent of the parents who support this is to protect their children from harm. Good goal. Unfortunately but importantly, Social media is just a subset of the internet. If teens are banned from a handful of platforms, they will either get around it or move to other platforms. Or other websites. Or basically other things on the internet. And that is already quite depressing, but also they are potentially going to move to platforms and websites on the other internet. The dark web. I desperately would hate to see that happen due to good intent, but not well considered policy. I would love to see more options considered. It’s not unreasonable to come up with 4 or 5 or 10 options and then scrutinise them and choose the best. Forcing kids in to the darkest corners of the internet can’t be the best option.
