Youth Protection and Social Media: Don't Talk — Or Else!

摘要

In the late '60s, Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin'," the theme song to the movie Midnight Cowboy, bemoaned the communication breakdowns that challenged the social fabric of the times, between generations and societies. "Everybody's talking at me, I don't hear a word they're saying," he crooned. However, that risk - that your intended audience "doesn't hear" your social media message - is greater today. Even though we live in an era of instant communication, online, sometimes it seems like everybody's talking at us, constantly, from all directions, especially through social media.
