Labs survey finds privacy concerns, distrust of social media rampant with all age groups

Before Cambridge Analytica made Facebook an unwilling accomplice to a scandal by appropriating and misusing more than 50 million users’ data, the public was already living in relative unease over the privacy of their information online.

The Cambridge Analytica incident, along with other, seemingly day-to-day headlines about data breaches pouring private information into criminal hands, has eroded public trust in corporations’ ability to protect data, as well as their willingness to use the data in ethically responsible ways.

Social Media Platforms and the Cyberkrime Economy

In this next chapter of the Web of Profit, we examine the role of popular social media platforms in cybercrime and other forms of crime-enablement. The findings are startling, and should serve as a wake-up call for individuals, enterprises, governments and law enforcement.

Trump threatens to shut down Facebook, Twitter and all social networks

Donald Trump should sign a decree this Thursday modifying a law that previously protected social media operators from liability for content posted by their users.

The move follows threats from the President to regulate or shut down social networks accused of trying to stifle conservative voices. This comes after Twitter posted a warning to urge users to check the veracity of Donald Trump’s messages.

The current White House tenant, who is running for a second term in November, considers this warning to be interference in the presidential election to which he will be opposed to Democrat Joe Biden.

The draft decree, confirmed by a source close to the situation, could still be modified before it was signed. Representatives of the White House said on Wednesday that Donald Trump will sign a decree on social media operators this Thursday.

Social Media Dangers — Childhood 2.0

For the first time in history, mental illness and suicide have become one of the greatest threats to school-aged children. Many parents still view dangers as primarily physical and external, but they’re missing the real danger: kids spending more time online and less time engaging in real life, free play, and autonomy. What are the effects on the next generation's mental, physical, and spiritual health? Childhood was more or less unchanged for millennia, but this is CHILDHOOD 2.0.

Social Media Use in 2021

A majority of Americans say they use YouTube and Facebook, while use of Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok is especially common among adults under 30.

To better understand Americans’ use of social media, online platforms and messaging apps, Pew Research Center surveyed 1,502 U.S. adults from Jan. 25 to Feb. 8, 2021, by cellphone and landline phone. The survey was conducted by interviewers under the direction of Abt Associates and is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, education and other categories. Here are the questions used for this report, along with responses, and its methodology.

The 11th Reason to Delete your Social Media Account: the Algorithm will Find You

TL;DR: you should delete your social media accounts, right now, even if you think they’re a net benefit in your life. I won’t judge you if you don’t, but this is not a joke, it’s not hypocritical to post a link to this on social media, and the fact that you probably came across it on social media doesn’t make the advice any less valuable.

After the introduction, there are five parts: the algorithm is real, the algorithm wants you online, the algorithm will find you, walk away from the algorithm, no, but seriously.

Introduction

A few years ago, Jaron Lanier wrote Ten Arguments to Delete your Social Media Accounts Right Now. Lanier’s book has the helpful feature of being completely unambiguous in its message (when, Jaron, when should I delete them? Oh). I ended up assigning it as optional reading for my undergraduate class, Bubbles. The Thanksgiving break means that students usually patch out that week and miss class, so I run an optional seminar instead. I’ve learned a huge amount from these little liminal-moment seminars each year, and some of them have led to real revisions in my own thinking, see, e.g., my views on University censorship when I was on Jim Rutt’s Currents podcast. In previous years, we read John Locke’s pluralistic Letter Concerning Toleration, but Lanier’s book has the advantage of not needing any coaching in close-reading.

🇵🇸 IOF Soldier Dressed Up in Dinosaur Costume While Carrying Bombs

A video circulating on social media shows an Israeli soldier dressed up in a dinosaur costume carrying bombs and launching them into the Gaza strip. He then does a celebratory dance on top of a tank.

The Israeli military has come under attack for posting videos on social media which shows them carrying out offensive acts including stealing from Palestinian homes, vandalising buildings and scribbling names of people critical of Israel on bombs.
