The article that I chose for this week is, "Can Twitter's New 'Trust & Safety Council Curb Online Abuse? " In this article, Twitter shares that the formation of the Twitter Safety and Trust Council will serve as an advisory for daily tweets. Creators of Twitter share that this site is for speaking the truth, but users have used Twitter for abusing and cyberbullying. Failure to address these problems has led to threats of rape and killing, so the development of this council is a good idea. Social media websites can either impact someone positively or negatively and most of the time social media affects someone negatively. Trust and Safety Council should be organized for several sites to provide safety and peace of mind. There is always going to be that one person who wants to put someone down and make them feel unworthy and unsafe, but with this council, many lives can be saved. This article is significant because many teens struggle with being bullied online and feeling unsafe. Sometimes, teens resort to killing themselves, after viewing their profiles or timelines on social media. With this council, it will provide safety and it will also help save young lives.
