How Facebook Marketplace is keeping young people on the platform

Meta’s Facebook’s influence remains strong globally, but younger users are logging in less. Only 32% of U.S. teens use Facebook today, down from 71% in 2014, according to a 2024 Pew Research study. However, Facebook’s resale platform Marketplace is one reason young people are on the platform. “I only use Facebook for Marketplace,” said Mirka Arevalo, a student at Buffalo University. “I go in knowing what I want, not just casually browsing.”

#Portland #Film #Youth

Persistence of Vision is an film education program of the Hollywood Theatre designed for 10th, 11th and 12th grade girls of all identities including gender-nonconforming youth to explore our connection to film, both as an art form and as a means of interacting with the world. By creating a dedicated safe space for an often under-appreciated demographic, our aim is to engage in meaningful guided discussions on relevant themes explored in the film and how they transfer to the day-to-day.

The #youth didn't deprive themselves of real connections due to #socialmedia - these connections have been *taken from them* due to precarious finances and jobs, longer working hours and clampdowns on hedonism and third spaces compared to the 90s and 00s (and by the 2000s the Internet was already a big part of many peoples lives)

Democratic California governor Gavin (secretly a fascist) #Newsom started a podcast and on his first episode platformed far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ influencer Charlie Kirk.

At one point, Newsom stated he was "completely aligned" with Kirk on #transgender participation in sports. He also appeared to express agreement with restrictions on medical care for incarcerated transgender people and limits on gender-affirming healthcare for transgender #youth.

Fuck him, and fuck any democrats who platform the alt right.
