- considered in bad taste, lewd, violent, or hurtful

You can only follow 400 people a day on Twitter now
- Used to be 1000
- That’s still a lot of work
- Cut down on bot follows and spammers

- Avoid getting added to groups you don’t want to
- Choose who can invite you
- Going to be more important as businesses adopt

Facebook testing double tap reacting and commenting
