Sending threats via Internet is bad behavior

June 7, 2015 by Brittanie Gutierrez Leave a Comment

By Brittanie Gutierrez |Staff Writer| Popular apps, such as Snapchat and YikYak, are at the center of controversy across U.S. college campuses.   I have personally seen the unofficial accounts for CSUSB depicting sexual indecency anonymously, publicized with little to no repercussions.   In my opinion, schools should educate students on repercussions for posting indecent content or inappropriate commentary on social media.   Some students create unofficial public accounts on these apps for their school and let people from all over campus post on them without rules or regulations.   These free forums often lead to students going overboard and … [Read more...] about Sending threats via Internet is bad behavior

Online media trends influence social trends

May 3, 2015 by Brittanie Gutierrez Leave a Comment

By Brittanie Gutierrez |Staff Writer| Online trends on social media regarding social issues and topics have become more about provoking shallow interests and attention rather than creating social awareness. In my opinion, the misuse of social media in aimlessly popularizing trends can result in self-absorption, which leads to lack of awareness.   “A lot of people do it for attention,” said student Jaynene Moreno.   People notice hashtags and use them but pay little to no attention to the issue or topic associated with the hashtag because it is more important to fit in than to actually voice their opinions.   “They use it to be cool,” said student Martha … [Read more...] about Online media trends influence social trends

CSUSB Snapchat busted

March 7, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Mackenzie Viera |Staff Writer| CSUSB students expose themselves in explicit photos on Snapchat. Snapchat is a video and photo messaging application that allows users to record or take pictures to send to a controlled list of recipients. “Snapchats” are viewable for a specified time the user determines and cannot be accessed after being viewed. Many campuses have self-titled accounts but the school administration is not affiliated with those accounts. Students anonymously developed these accounts and asked users to send footage that may contain nudity, sexual activity, and drug usage. Photos and videos are then uploaded to a public feed for others to view. “I followed … [Read more...] about CSUSB Snapchat busted

Cyber Bullying more common than face-to-face

January 31, 2015 by Archived posts 2 Comments

By Selina Cerda |Staff Writer| Cyber bullying is now more common than face-to-face bullying due to the ability to remain anonymous, according to BullyingStatistics.org. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. “I believe people are now more likely to cyber bully because they don’t have to confront them in person,” said student Naoje Williams. “It makes you a weak person if you do it, there are other routes than being mean to people.” DoSomething.org states “bully victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide.” “I have witnessed cyber bullying and … [Read more...] about Cyber Bullying more common than face-to-face

Americans want privacy but our posts beg to differ

November 22, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Danielle Brooks |Staff Writer| Americans are concerned with losing their privacy, but they may be surrendering their own privacy by using social media sites at their own will. A study conducted in January 2014 by Pew Research found that 74 percent of online adults use social media. However, these social media sites require private information when creating an account. “I deleted the Facebook app from my phone after the whole Facebook Messenger controversy,” said Elizabeth Hemmelgarn. “I didn’t like the fact that they could gain access to my personal information.” Earlier in the year, Facebook created a new Facebook Messaging app that was intended to be faster than the … [Read more...] about Americans want privacy but our posts beg to differ

Snapchat to lock third party accounts

November 22, 2014 by Jacob Collins Leave a Comment

By Jacob Collins |Staff Writer| Snapchat will begin locking accounts connected to third party apps after a leak which resulted in about 200,000 private photos being leaked online in what was dubbed “the snappening.” This comes in conjecture with an updated privacy policy and a new service called Snapcash. Third party apps are services that use Snapchat without being the official app. The apps are against their terms of use, according to Snapchat. Snapchat has started sending e-mail notices to users suspected of using third party applications to change their password and discontinue use of third party apps or risk their accounts becoming permanently locked. “We will notify … [Read more...] about Snapchat to lock third party accounts

Don’t buy what you can get for free

By Devin Ramos |Staff Writer| Don’t buy cellphone apps when you can get quality apps for free. Save money by downloading free apps from iOS and the Android market that are user friendly and won’t break your bank account. iPhones and Androids have many photography apps that let you take advantage of the high megapixel camera, but among them is VSCO Cam, which is a perfect app to take stunning photos.

Keep your pink parts in the dark

January 31, 2014 by Archived posts 1 Comment

By Glynn Guerra |Staff Writer| “Sex sells” is not only a business strategy, but something that our society has come to know and live by. It almost feels as if our society revolves around sex when we see it in everything from movies to music. Recently, “sexting” has become more popular among social media. According to WebMd, sexting is the sending of sexually explicit messages or images via cell phone texts. For many, sexting is meant to be a private act of intimacy between two people. What people don’t realize is that they face the danger of these images or messages ending up in the hands of the wrong people.

By Yara Del Rio-Dominguez |Staff Writer| Nov. 10: North Korea Publicly Executes 80 people Eighty people throughout seven cities were executed this month in North Korea, many for watching smuggled South Korean TV shows and prostitution. Citizens gathered by the thousands and filled a sports arena to watch the public execution of eight people by a firing squad. CSUSB Student Gabe McClellan said, “That’s crazy North Korea is going to great lengths to punish their people for watching TV shows we watch here in the states, and then covering it up.” Watching unsanctioned foreign films or TV shows, especially from the capitalist South, is a serious offense in North … [Read more...] about Coyote Chronicle News Briefs
