“Social media has really been terrible for my generation,” Gomez, 26, told a news conference at Cannes on Wednesday, where the actress is promoting zombie movie “The Dead Don’t Die” alongside actors Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton.“I understand that it’s amazing to use your platform, but it does scare me when you see how exposed these young girls and young boys are, and they are not really aware of the news or anything going on. … I think it’s dangerous, for sure.

Gomez is one of the world’s most watched Instagram stars, with over 150 million followers, but is known to have taken breaks from the platform.

Exclusive: Philip Morris suspends social media campaign after Reuters exposes young 'influencers'Philip Morris suspends a social media marketing operation globally after Reuters inquiries about the company’s use of young ‘influencers’ to help sell its heated tobacco device IQOS c_kirkham c_kirkham Great! Now do the oil companies. c_kirkham Honestly, I'm surprised that a company like Phillip Morris isn't trying to jump on the legal marijuana bandwagon. They already makes cigarettes, can't be that hard to have the same machines roll a joint. br0k3nhalos c_kirkham 'including a 21-year-old woman in Russia.'

Translation: Macron has taken it upon himself to sic the speech police into cyberspace to stop all criticism of his increasingly totalitarian regime. Will there be any churches left by the time they finally get him out of office? The problem is progressive ideologues have made up their own definition of 'hateful'. It now includes views and opinions that don't comport with their own. Essentially, everyone has become their enemy.

Singapore Escalates Fight Against Spread of False Information on Social MediaThe Southeast Asian nation has passed a law requiring Facebook and other social-media companies to issue corrections for information posted their platforms that the government deems false. The world is truly messed up when a state-controlled society like Singapore is leading the charge against misinformation.. I don't know why China has banned Facebook, Twitter etc. when they have shown that they are quite happy, ready and vicious at banning conservatives from their platforms without any govt directives. Twitter even enforces Pakistani blasphemy laws. China should welcome these cos.
