danah boyd | apophenia Like everyone who cares about Crisis Text Line and the people we serve, I have spent the last few days reflecting on recent critiques about the organization’s practices. Having spent my career thinking about and grappling with tech ethics and privacy issues, I knew that – had I not been privy to the details and context that I know – I would be outraged by what folks heard this weekend. I would be doing what many of my friends and colleagues are doing, voicing anger and disgust. But as a founding board member of Crisis Text Line, who served as board chair from June 2020 until the beginning of January 2021, I also have additional information that shaped how I thought about these matters and informed my actions and votes over the last eight years. As a director, I am currently working with others on the board and in the organization to chart a path forward. Texters come to us in their darkest moments. First: Why data?

Pew: 94% Of Teenagers Use Facebook, Have 425 Facebook Friends Teenagers use Facebook by far more than any other social media site and have over 400 friends on it. But Twitter and Instagram have massively increased their usage in the past year, according to a new survey from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, together with Harvard’s Berkman Center. The new report covers US teens and social media. There are an enormous number of findings in the document, which was compiled using both surveys and focus groups. According to the report, 95 percent of teens (12 – 17) use the internet and 81 percent of them use social media sites. Twitter and Instagram are far behind Facebook, but both have made impressive gains. Only 5 percent of teens say they use Tumblr; only 3% use Google+. The size of teens’ Facebook networks is pretty evenly distributed. The more Facebook friends in their networks, the more active teens tend to be. In the document Pew compares teen social media attitudes and usage in 2006 to 2012.

Attitudes important for social media influence on fashion decisions Age wise, 17 percent of the surveyed women fell into the 18-24 age bracket, 23 percent into the 25-34 bracket; 20 percent were between 35-44 years old, 19 percent between 45-54 years old, 12 percent between 55-64 years old and 9 percent of the women surveyed were older than 65 years.
Mobile Messaging and Social Media 2015 In today’s world, people — particularly young people — are continually finding and adapting new ways of communicating electronically to fit their needs. Case in point: 2015 marks the first time Pew Research Center has asked specifically about mobile messaging apps as a separate kind of mobile activity apart from cell phone texting. And already, according to a new survey, 36% of smartphone owners report using messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Kik or iMessage, and 17% use apps that automatically delete sent messages such as Snapchat or Wickr. Both of these kinds of apps are particularly popular among young adults. The results in this report reflect the noteworthy and rapid emergence of different kinds of communications tools serving different social needs. Overall, this survey found that 85% of adults are internet users and 67% are smartphone users.
Teens, Social Media, and Privacy Overview Teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than they have in the past, but they are also taking a variety of technical and non-technical steps to manage the privacy of that information. Despite taking these privacy-protective actions, teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-parties (such as businesses or advertisers) accessing their data; just 9% say they are “very” concerned.
