HELP IM ALWAYS POSTING !
Social media used to be a place to keep up with friends and family. It dates back to 1997 when the first social media website was created “Six Degrees”. Since then many social media platforms have been created Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram along with many others. With more ways to “stay connected” the more intrusive they became.
Often after browsing a search engine, an ad appears that is identical to what has been searched. Sites like Facebook and Google partner up and resell the user's personal information. Even a simple tweet or Facebook post is saved to collect information on its users. Social media uses creative ways to obtain information on its users. Snapchat has a feature where users can locate all their friends on a map. This feature can be turned off, but why would they allow an application like that? Are we that obsessed with being in touch?
Social media users have to be careful when on these sites. In today's society users feel an urge to update friends on everything they do. They often tag the location of where they are to appear superior. Users often post too much and it comes back to haunt them. In many cases, as we get older we develop into different people. We may not feel the same about situations from 10 years prior. We may forget but, once it's posted it's there forever.
In 2019 it was announced the well-known comedian Kevin Hart was the host of the Academy Awards. He had to step down from the position once homophobic tweets resurfaced. According to Stephan Daw at Billboard, “Hart made a number of jokes over the course of two years on his Twitter page about LGBTQ people. Some were aimed around his thoughts about how he would react to potentially having a gay son, in which the comedian said he would break a dollhouse over his head if he saw him playing with it.” The tweets were made between 2010-2011. When it was announced that he was going to be the host the Academy Awards and Kevin were met with extreme backlash. Kevin Hart has addressed the issue. He did not host the award show. The LQBTQ community is strong and powerful.This incident shows how easy posts in the past can be found. Many influencers can learn from his experience and try to avoid offensive posts. Hart’s results were missing out on an opportunity. Social media plays a huge role in a lot of our lives but some things don't need to be posted.
Through time social media is just going to find more creative ways to become more intrusive. Social media makes its users obsessed with updating people on everything. It used to be a fun way to stay connected but it's turning to a way to obsess over people. As we evolve so does social media, but we don’t have to allow them to make us captivated over people's lives . When will we understand something are better left offline?
