Good social media morning, guys. We are back at it. Let's go. A lot of the social networks out there are trying to come up with plans around coronavirus to make sure that people are not receiving misinformation. Snapchat is no exception, guys. Check the article down below for all the info on what the different social platforms are doing in order to maintain a a clear and accurate depiction of what's going on with coronavirus and what you can do to stay safe. As always, guys, links to all of this stuff with added detail, expanded articles, it's all down below for you. Check it out. TikTok's under fire again, guys. TikTok censorship has long been standing, even since the beginning, as being, well, let's say indiscriminate. Well, it's not indiscriminate. It's very discriminatory in the way that it doesn't have a very clear guideline as to what's acceptable. And what's not. When you get political, when you make some political comments, it seems that it leans one way versus the other and your content could get pulled. So again, TikTok is under fire for this. They're not clear and they are not being, we'll say, equal. I'm not gonna say fair, it's their platform, they can do what they want with it, but they're not being equal in how they are applying the rules of censorship. So if you guys are interested in that, you've had content pulled, or you're wondering what content could potentially be pulled, That's there for you. And that is it for today, guys. I wish I had some conference and events update for you, but the reality is most conferences and events at this point are just being kiboshed. No go, no bueno, they're done. So if you had a conference or event, chances are that sucker has been canceled. It's probably not gonna happen regardless of where it is internationally, I'm sorry to say. Hopefully you guys will be able to catch these events as they more and more go digital, but for now it looks like cancellation's the key on them and that's what's happening. Have an amazing day, guys. Let me know down in the comments below what you are doing as far as learning and growing while you're at home with coronavirus being out in the world. If you are somebody that's in a high-risk area, I want nothing but the best for you. So stay safe, stay, stay indoors. Try to stay safe, guys. Keep those loved ones close and have an amazing day. I will catch you tomorrow with another great episode. I am super stoked about this next one, LinkedIn Learning.
