BBC Capital has an interesting story about the rise of social media addiction and the cottage industry of therapists, treatment options, detox centers, and—ironically enough—apps that have sprung up to help people get offline. The story has me feeling a lot of different feelings.

After writing about Tomi Lahren back in December, I silently promised myself that I would never write about her again. I didn't want to give her any more of a platform than she already has. However, now that Trump has become President, I believe that examining the Tomi Lahrens of the world is especially important in that it allows us to navigate our increasingly fraught path toward gender equality.

The Republicans are having a banner day on social media today, as both the Department of Education and the GOP's official accounts somehow made a mess out of celebrating Black History Month.

I saw the world that despite my efforts, I couldn’t be a part of—which just reinforced the thinking that perpetuated my depression.

The Hollywood Reporter recently did a survey of Fall Television with "a number of this year's top showrunners about their new series, making content in 2016 and the state of broadcast TV." Sure, we can talk about how only two of the sixteen showrunners surveyed are female. Or, we could talk about how of the sixteen showrunners surveyed here, all of them are white. But first, I want to talk about something really important: live tweeting.

About five months ago, Twitter announced their plan to roll out some changes to the character limit and the reply structure. Today, at long last, the character limit changes have begun to roll out--for some users. Not everybody, yet. But it's coming. For real this time.

How long has it been since you logged into your Google Plus profile? Probably a while. If you're one of the few that actually uses the service, however, you'll be pleased to hear that G+ will be getting an overhaul.

The Facebook news feed is one way that many people get their news. But Facebook isn't a news outlet. They're not, okay? They're just not! Or at least, they really don't want you to see them that way.

Footage of Deathstroke runway stomping through a steamy hallway popped up on Ben Affleck’s social media and it’s raising a few questions.

Can you tell whether someone has depression just from looking at their social media accounts? According to scientists from Harvard University and the University of Vermont, there are some telltale patterns.

Craig Newmark, founder of Craiglist, understandably cares a lot about online safety. So, he spearheaded a survey to document whether online harassment has decreased since 2014. Turns out? It... hasn't.

You probably shouldn't be looking at your phone when you're lying in bed at night, and even if you are looking at your phone, you definitely shouldn't be looking at Twitter. But, if you must look at Twitter, you may as well save your eyesight by using the new "night mode" setting, now available for Androids.

Just as Twitter allows their "Verified" users to introduce some rudimentary filtering systems for the notifications column, so too has Instagram put together a similar idea. Luckily, you don't need to have a Verified Badge on Instagram in order to use it, but you do need to be identified as a "Business Page."

Facebook is essentially in control of the Internet. Along with Twitter (and Snapchat, and so on), it's basically the filter through which everything on the web passes before most people see it. However, the people at Facebook miss a simpler time when the social networking site was mostly for seeing what your friends and family were up to instead of blocking them for the debunked political conspiracy articles they share.

Have you ever bothered to open up your "Location Services" settings on Facebook? If you haven't been paying attention to it, then it's probably still turned on. And it's probably affecting the friend suggestions that Facebook has been making for you.

Facebook has had to consider its political stance multiple times this year. Are they biased? In whose favor? (Facebook is biased in Facebook's favor. Obviously.)

Twitter's new Engage app launched today, and although it's available to everybody, it's clearly designed with social media managers in mind. Or, better yet, "influencers."
