Summary | Teenagers today mainly use Snapchat, 75% to be extact. In comparison, 66% use Facebook, and 47% use Twitter. One third of teenage Snapchat users said they use Snapchat because their parents are not on it. There are various apps that let parents track their children's activity on apps to make sure they do not approach addictive levels of usage. Another good way to track that is to join Snapchat as a parent and keep an eye on one's children from within the app - this is for parents who want to be less "lame" about watching over their children. Snapchat map is a recently added function that parents should be partticularly worried about enabling users to share their location at all times.

Summary | Twitter is now trying to combat trolling again because the general tenor of bad language on the platform is repelling investors such as Disney. Twitter's market value is tumbling but the company is scheduled to start profiting in 2017. New features have been set in place so that users can not only block other users but block them from tweeting about oneself, too. Other features are 'safe' searches and filtering 'low-quality' comments (just profanities) out.
