Many of Donald Trump's SOCIAL MEDIA outlets (Twitter, Facebook) have banned the former president.
What SOCIAL MEDIA do you use? Why do you use that SOCIAL MEDIA?
What should be done to people who use SOCIAL MEDIA negatively?
At what point should people TAKE A BREAK from SOCIAL MEDIA?
Explain.
Im really starting to get tired of social media cause I really find there are many more bad things that come out of social media then good. I personally use snapchat most and I have instagram but I really dont use it I only keep it if I need to contact someone and I dont have their phone number. But social media becomes harmful when that's all your on for example trump supporter's get most of their news from instagram or hopefully the news channel. But many people get their news from social media and social media is programmed to show you information that you want to see. So if Trump supporters only want to see what they want to see it's going to fuel their energie to for example when they stormed into the capitol. Social media is very bad for mentl health too and really harms much more. I still have social media but Im really not addicted anymore.
ReplyDeleteI agree I'm not as addicted. Nice blog!
DeleteI agree that social media becomes harmful when that's all your on. Great job on your blog!
DeleteSame I agree with when there is someone who does not have a phone number , if I want to stay in contact I have to add them on social media.
DeleteI use a lot of social media. But mostly, Tik Tok, Instagram, Snapchat and house party. I use social media when I am stressed out and I need a break (which is most of the time) or when I’m bored or when I want to talk to my friends. I usually use snapchat or house party. There isn’t much you can do when people use social media negatively, but they can be banned or reported. For some people right now (like me) social media is a coping mechanism which isn’t a very good thing. I think people should take a break from social media once they feel physical urges to be on social media, or a sense of anxiety from not being able to access social media, or even a low and unworthy feeling after scrolling through your feed. Also if you spend more then a few hours on social media you should stop.
ReplyDeleteTikTok is super addicting, it's one of my most used social medias as well. Great blog!
DeleteI don't use that much social media. I just use snap and tiktok but I dont post anything on tiktok. I use snap to talk to my friends and I use tiktok only for like 30 minutes every day and it's just to watch videos. I think that people that don't use it properly should be banned (like Donald Trump). I think that people should take a break is/when they do something wrng to reflect or if they start to get unessecary hate.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog,I agree people should learn limits to social media.
DeleteI agree that if you can't learn to use social media responsibly, you should get banned, good blog.
DeleteI agree that people who uses it incorrectly should be banned. Good blog.
Deleteyeah, banning them seems like the simplest and best idea.
DeleteI use mainly all socials, each for the same purpose— communication. I also use them to take and uploads pictures and even keep up with celebrity drama. They already have rules in place for when people use a social media negatively like shadow banned, banned completely, blocked, report, etc. All these are put in place to reduce the negative use of social media. I’m on my phone a lot but I’d say take a few minute break every hour and half. You can use that small break for different purposes like use the bathroom, get a snack, get fresh air, etc
ReplyDeleteThe social medias that I use are just TikTok, Instagram and Snap. I use Insta and Snap to communicate with my friends and family who live futhur away from me. I use TikTok for entertainment but I don't use it often. People who use it negatively should be banned for a certain amount of time but it really depends on what you did. You should take a break from media atthe point of when your bored and you feel like you need to stay in bed all day, you aren't eating or sleeping, which causes stress and depression which is terrible for your health.
ReplyDeleteThe social medias I use are the standards I guess, since Covid I don't really post a lot anymore just watch videos on them or just comment on my friends posts. I mean the limit to social media is just not to be a "mean person". People who use social media badly should be banned, ip banned cause most accounts are free to create. I am considering deleting Instagram though because they updated their tos so now they can do what they want on your phone. SMS, calls , even live camera without showing that little dot on the right corner. Finally people usually take "breaks" from social media when they are cancelled .
ReplyDeleteActually fun fact, Instagram used to do this before (and they still do it), they only updated their TOS now, because of recent pressure from the american government on Facebook, and as we all know Instagram is owned by Facebook, so Facebook was forced to update their TOS. Great blog tho!
DeleteI use a few social medias, some that I use often, some that I don't. The one that I'd have to say that I use the most is Instagram, and I don't even post there I use it because according to people I know I should have it. People who use social media for malicious reasons should be dealt with jail time. If they are stealing ip's, personal information and selling it, newsflash, that's illegal. People usually take a break from social media when someone on twitter gets bored and cancels someone.
ReplyDeleteI use Insta and TikTok, I really want Snap but my parents won’t let me get it because of what they hear about it. I use Insta for texting and keeping myself up to date with things that happen and I use TikTok for entertainment. I think if you can’t use social media in a responsible way, you shouldn’t be on it at all and you should get banned.
ReplyDeleteI agree some people don't use social media responsibly and should be allowed to go on it. Nice blog!
DeleteI use instagram and twitter the most, but i only use it for small purposes, like talking to someone or taking pictures. I rarely scroll on instagram or check stories, i just kinda sit on my phone and talk to my friends. I'm trying to take a break from social media and focus on other things like school or reading! It's going okay:) People should take a break from social media when their eyes hurt, they get headaches or they're tired. Before my social media break, I always scrolled on my phone at 11pm, then i get tired and i fall asleep with my phone in my hands. It was a bad habit so I try to limit my screen time and phone uses by deleting apps and putting time limits.
ReplyDeleteI also have a bad habit of scrolling too late, great blog!
DeleteI mainly use Tiktok and Snapchat. I use Snapchat to keep in touch with my friends and to send fun videos and pictures to them. I'm always on Tiktok too it's very addicting and I always catch myself scrolling and scrolling till really late, it's a bad habit that a lot of teenagers have. Throughout quarantine my time on my phone has gone up a lot and that's when people should take a break. I try my best to not over use my phone but it never works.
ReplyDeleteI also have the habit of scrolling on tiktok really late too, great blog!
DeleteThe social medias I use consist of Instagram and Tik tok. I barely use Instagram but on the other side I use Tik tok at least 1 hour a day. The only reason why I use Instagram is to talk to people. Tik tok I use for fun. People who use social media negatively should be banned from the app. I think that you should take a break from social media when you spend more that like 5 hours on it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, one hour is enough and five hours is definitely too much. Great blog :)
DeleteI'm boring so I don't have social media. There's a lot of reasons I don't have it though. I don't use it because I don't really care about what other people are doing with their lives and I don't want anyone else to know about mine. There's also so many bad things on social media that I don't think are necessary and I don't want to see. I also don't want to get addicted and have another reason to want to be on my phone for longer than I already am.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that social media is very addicting and I have to congratulate you on the "I don't have social media" thing. Great blog!
DeleteThe only social media that I have is Instagram, and I use it mostly to be able to keep in contact with friends. I think people who are non stop attached to that social media should take a break. I'm talking about like 4 hours and more. I used rack up a bunch of hours just by texting my friends and accidentally leaving my phone on. I think that people who use social medias for bad things should be instantly banned and that email address should be stopped from creating anymore. That's about how far you can go, because you can't really do anything else.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the people who use social media negatively should be instantly banned and erase their email address especially.
DeleteI use social media sometimes. Im glad that Trump has been banned since he literally made all his goonies invade the Capitol through twitter. I don't see the point of being on social media for more than 15 minutes other than being distracted. You should be banned for using socials inappropriately or violently, just like Trump did (A little too late though). Twitter should've banned him ages ago.
ReplyDeleteYa that would have saved people a lot of trouble
DeleteI don’t really use social media the closest thing to social media that I have is another personal gmail account, so I don’t really care about social media. When I’m Minecraft Eggwars or something like that it gets really annoying when people hack or start being mean on the hack because then no one has fun. I think that people should be banned for at least 48 hrs when that happens because it is enough of a punishment, but not that bad. After 3 strike there banned forever.
ReplyDeleteI don't use social media, unless you consider youtube a social media. I think people who are negative or toxic on social media should get their account suspended from 1 hour to permanently depending on the severity of what they said. People should definitly take a break once they start getting headaches or when they get very attached to the point where they get angry at everything online.
ReplyDeleteMy social media is discord and messages that's it. I use it because it's a simple way to talk to people. For the people who use Social Media negatively I think we should do the same thing tweeter did to Trump ban thom, of course they're going to make other accounts but if they're willing to do that then just give them no attention then they'll die off. The time that I think you should take a break from Social Media is when you're starting to use it in a negative way.
ReplyDeleteI recently got Snapchat and I have been using it to communicate with my friends. I’m not that fond of social media and my accounts aren't really that popular. It doesn’t bother me and honestly social media is very addicting and can make many people get unfocused on the things they have to do. I feel that people who use social media negatively should have their accounts banned. People who use social media negatively are only hurting themselves because they are the ones who are choosing to act in this way. I think people should take a break from social media when they start to distance themselves from the real world. Being social and having a conversation face to face rather than through text is very important for one’s mind/wellbeing.
ReplyDeleteI agree if u start doing everything online it can really affect you're mental health.
DeleteI use snapchat and tiktok the most.I use snapchat to update people on my private story on everything that's going on in my life,I also use it to communicate because I have iMessage on do not disturb so I tend to not answer my texts.I use tiktok because it gives me a good laugh and it can entertain me for hours and hours, there is also sometimes some good advice on it.I think people who use social media negatively should definitely have different consequences depending on the severity of the situation.i don't really know when people should take a break from social media because I wouldn't be able to ever take a break my self, but I think when it starts affecting you're mental health its a good indication.
ReplyDeleteI mostly use tiktok. And it mostly just keeps me busy when I'm bored, but I can also keep up with some of the celebrity drama that's going on. I think when people use social media negatively, they should be warned three times and then the fourth they should be banned or suspended from using the app. I think people should people should take a break from social media when it becomes like too much of their life. They need to be on it all the time. Also, when it starts affecting mental health is a good point to take a break.
ReplyDeleteI don't use social media a lot. I use Instagram mostly for group to talk to people. Some people such as Donald Trump use social media negatively to discriminate people or spread fake information. Trump used his social media to cause riots. I think that people who use social media negatively could have their posts removed and if they keep going have their account suspended or banned.
ReplyDeleteI don't actually use social media. I've never used one in the past either. I think the reason why I never used one is because my parents don't. They have some, but they don't use it. Well, it depends on what you mean by "bad". Like some people just say garbage that won't really affect anyone shouldn't be banned. They can say all the stupid stuff they want. It's just if people believe it and start doing it. Then that's bad. Maybe if you start saying that PEOPLE NEED TO PROTEST ON CAPITAL HILL THEN YES YOU SHOULD GET BANNED!!!
