SM through the eyes of kids ... much different ...
I already mentioned how older dd made fun of my twitter bio mercilessly ... such joyful mocking.
Younger dd the other day as I was going through my twitter feed:
"That guy is waaay too serious" about @Aller_MD
(no offense meant by me posting this)
If I ever create a new twitter account, I will have to better take into consideration the youth perspective. Being "cool" has never been my strength.
Now, apparently, @zdoggmd is a hit. Younger dd loves to watch the "med school interview" one.
Oh goodness.

"The Secret Agents Who Stake Out the Ugliest Corners of the Internet"
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/07/secret-service-online-threat-president/399179/A team tasked with protecting the president of the United States is constantly sifting through hateful online comments to find would-be assassins or terrorists.
In a recent decision for the case Elonis v. United States, about a man accused of threatening his wife on Facebook, the Supreme Court avoided establishing any clear test for how to identify true threats online. Their decision to dodge the issue leaves not just the Secret Service but everyone who is the victim of online harassment to figure out how to draw the line between true threats and free speech on the Internet.
