This is because there has been a large focus on media reporting of suicides, mostly celebrity suicides and this has dominated conversations and understandings about the contagion effects of media on suicide. There has been much less focus on the impact of screen media, such as television, movies, documentaries and music videos
less significance societally in impact of suicide in onscreen media versus print/social media

While there are several reviews that examine portrayal of suicide in media broadly, such as the impact of various and mixed forms of media, none appear to focus on the specific impact of portraying suicidal behaviour in fiction and non‐fiction moving‐image media, such as television, videos, films and documentaries.
not as much coverage as their should be in covering suicide in media

She’s clearly been far more reticent, declining an interview for the Today segment and asking that her full name not be revealed. It’s hard to avoid the impression that she’s being dragged into the public eye nonetheless. Respondents to the original thread, in thrall to the “love story” and eager to thwart Blair’s half-hearted attempts at anonymizing the pair, soon found and shared the woman’s Instagram
It's upsetting to hear things like this. I already know I'd be upset if I was posted online without knowing, regardless of what I was doing. I feel bad for those who have no interest in people plastered online, but are forced into the spotlight because of someone else's curiosity or intrusion.

The story’s charm disguises the invasion of privacy at its heart: the way technology is both eroding our personal boundaries and coercing us in deleterious ways
I love that this is noted so early in the article. It's a sentence that really pulls you in. It's very true; charming social media stories are often neglecting the invasion of privacy that was used to create the story.

Image-based memes involve, primarily, an image created by somebody. Sometimes the meme creator is also the image creator, but often, when involving movie stills or images of celebrities, the image’s copyright is owned by someone else. American copyright law gives creators the exclusive rights of reproduction, modification, distribution, performance, and display. The viral spread of a meme infringes on theses protections as the original image is modified and then displayed, distributed and reproduced when posted and reposted.
It's interesting to think about memes falling under copyright infringment. It seems obvious that they would but simultaneously, on the average day, a meme has probably been rememed and reposted a thousand times.

Meme creators and posters have been sued for using people’s images without permission, especially those who were not already public figures. In 2003, the parents of the unwilling star of the “Star Wars Kid” video sued their son’s classmates for posting the video online.
It's really unsettling how quickly and faultlessly someone can become a meme or their name/face can catapulte across social media and remain there forever. All it takes is someone posting a video of an unaware bystander and that person can have their 15 minutes of fame

To be clear, there is a law that defines domestic terrorism but not one that charges people who commit acts of terrorism in America. People who conspire with international terrorists—even if they aren’t materially involved in an act of violence—are charged with “acts of terrorism transcending international boundaries
It's interesting (and strange) to find out that thre isn't a law that charges those who have been involved in terrorism in America. I used Caulfield’s wikipedia method to ensure th site I was using was authentic.

This is an important thing to remember on social media. Just because someone has a blue check mark or many followers doesn't make them trust worthy or validate what they are saying. Always double check who is speaking and what they're talking about.
